    NSD here. Bought raffle tickets at the Chapel ‘do’ this evening (Mr KK won a red Osprey purse which I have immediately started using as my old one is grubby and too deep) but they came out of my pocket money 😊

  • An early call for today. I am currently walking back from town to save on parking and to get my steps in and I used a loyalty voucher for my shopping.  Feeling rather smug 😏 😆xx
  • Ok so you at 8 pages before I even joined 🤣 I've no idea this month as it's very spendy due to doing work on new house we had to get credit cards which are interest free for 20 months and as well putting house up for sale next month should be all good. Today should be a no spend day though as takeaway and ordered a bathroom yesterday 🤣
  • One more under my belt for today.
