    Me neither but I did have a spendy day because I sent a last-minute present to family back home (it's quite close to the deadline for posting stuff overseas in time for Christmas) - no plans to spend on Black Friday at all!
  • 22/24 for me please 😁 obviously not going to make my target this month but it's not a surprise and not too far off! 😉
