    Well done LittleMissDetermined, beanie, short bird, HotDog2020 and Rupacomp imageimageimage
  • Tuesday was a NSD

    Wednesday was a very spendy day:

    2 new bras
    Renewing Bus Pass
    Train tickets to visit daughter.

    I categorise travel tickets as Necessary Expenses.
    I usually try not to buy new clothes, preferring to repair or repurpose the clothes I already have and only replace them when items are beyond repair. However, I've recently lost some weight and needed a couple of properly-fitting, maximum support bras (women over 40, or anyone blessed with ample feminine assets will know what I mean!)
    Again, these I would class as essential!

    Thursday was another NSD.

    According to my records, that makes 9 NSDs so far this month, or 10 if you class underwear as an essential purchase.

    Friday (today) looks like being a rather spendy day. I have to sort out an outfit for the graduation party, cards and presents for two graduates and two family birthdays next week.
    I'll let you know how I get on later.
