    Not today - paid the window cleaner (present to Mr KK) late last night so finishing at 23. 
    Not unhappy with that as I had some time off in August and that always leads to more spending. 
    I want to knuckle down in September though!

    There is 1 more day tomorrow! You can still do it! 

    @cathybird this has been a very spendy week, sadly, so I will not be able to reach my goal! I was so close! Today I am going to the hairdresser to get my hair done for a wedding I'm going to tomorrow. I Think I might be able to have another NSD tomorrow, as I will be at the wedding so not able to really spend much, but I will end up at 17. Sad!
