    Sorry I haven't checked in for a couple of days. Family emergency ongoing - it's tough watching elderly relatives decline. It all feels pretty unfair.

    Anyway - so far I've only spend once this month, so 8/25 😀 
    About 35k March 24

    <then many hours working, little sleep, much grumbling>

    Apologies for the absence.....life does get in the way! 

    As of today I am at 5 NSD. The weather is pretty treacherous here so that's curtailed any shopping. It forced me to get creative with food so we now have a turkey chilli bubbling in the slow cooker. I only had about 3/4 of the standard ingredients so I made do. It smells lovely!
