No nsd today, in fact it was quite spendy as I had to go buy some groceries and added a a couple of biscuits tins, especially one that I was lured to buy with a £3 coupon discount. I intended to give it as gift, but now I had a good look at it and it’s so pretty and it already has an honour place in the Christmas decorations, so I’m afraid it will have to stay! Totally planning for tomorrow to be better, though, I’ll update tomorrow!Debt free journey started 30/08/2023:
