  • Yesterday was not a NSD as I had to order a new mattress protector and mattress cover for the new bed that will (finally!) be delivered on Monday. While I was at it I also ordered a baby shower card and happy birthday card for my friend, as she’s holding her baby shower next weekend and her birthday is in a couple of weeks.

    Today is definitely going to be a NSD!

  • NSD for me today, am getting stupidly excited when checking my bank account to see the fewer transactions this month! This is rather addictive 😁
