I am having a No Spend Day, but have received lots of good things today. I asked my MD very nicely if she could pay for my upcoming work trainers/shoes for the interview, for payment for saving her 1100 on doing the calculations for the care provider, and changing the way they bill her. She said yes, also she bought breakfast of cake and scone and coke, I know not healthy, but very delicious! So I haven't spent today and not planning to either, I do have groceries, but that is a neccessity. So I am on 2/15 please @cathybird Thank you so much. 🤩🤩🤩1
