    Good morning guys
    Bit dull and yucky here but at least it’s my day off.
    Today will be another NSD making it 13/15 😀 as I’ve no intention of going anywhere near people today ( working in a shop can make you feel that way 😂)
    Have a good day everyone

    Not sure ….
    Bought 2025 diary and A4 hard bound book for Mr KK - he’s refunded me for these so I’m not counting them as a spend. 
    Bought screen wash and a new windscreen scraper as mine are worn out. Are these essentials?

    @KajiKita I'd say yes? The windscreen needs to be workable to be able to drive. Fuel and public transport can both be excluded on the grounds that you've got to be able to get from A to B. So there is a definite case for discounting those two purchases (I think). If you agree I will add an NSD! xx
