    Another 6 NSDs to add, so I’m on number 9
    Budgeted for groceries and petrol are all I’ve spent on this last week…except tickets to a Meat Loaf tribute that is! 😀

    Wednesday was a very spendy day:

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

    I categorise travel tickets as Necessary Expenses.

    According to my records, that makes 9 NSDs so far this month, or 10 if you class underwear as an essential purchase.
    @Worlds_Worst_Superhero 10 seems right to me! x :)
