It's a spend day for me today. Had to order baby some ear & eye drops, so I also restocked up on grey mailers, as I will need those at some point and don't want to break a NSD for just one basic purchase.My mother is going shopping this morning and will be bringing me fresh milk & bread for the fridge and the freezer as I'm still to ill to go out - That also means I won't need to go food shopping for the rest of the month as there's plenty in the freezer and cupboards. She's also going to go and fill up the car which I've been unable to do, just in case I need to get somewhere urgently - bless her! xxxx I will obviously be repaying her for the shopping & fill up, so I think that's going to be my spending for the month, unless there's an emergency xxxI might just break my target of 27 NSD's set for the month

Good morning
Another NSD for me so 10/15. Yesterday was my day off so we treated ourselves to tea and cake at the garden centre (but the tea was free cos you get 2 free hot drinks a month 😀)
