@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!Debt free journey started 30/08/2023:
