    NSD 5 yesterday. £1 spent from Christmas savings.

    Need to post my cards etc today so won't be NSD but will steer clear of the shops to minimise spending. 
  • Declaring early at 16/24 - yesterday was a very spendy day as I did all the shopping for solstice, just a bit of veg to get on Thursday but that will only be what I would buy anyway as most of the solstice veg will be from the garden and freezer

    Friday, Saturday and Sunday were NSD's and today will be another so that's 4 for a total of 11. Definitely assisted by my credit card being hacked - although I now have a new card and pin number, I haven't activated that yet. No idea how it happened, my credit card rarely leaves the flat and I only pay for things via my PC which doesn't use wireless internet. I'm sure someone can come up with an explanation once they've reinstated my account and I can view statements.
    (That's why I haven't reported over the last few days - sick to the back teeth of clearing cookies, resetting passwords and typing in codes.)
