Thankyou for starting a new thread @cathybird
I've had a really tough 2024 and a lot has slipped through the net. I'd like to try and get back on track for 2025 and ease myself back in with a goal of 10 nsd's for January. I've downloaded the app for my phone so I can hopefully keep up with posting a bit better.January NSD8/102 -
I have to retrain myself not to spend money after a few days of continuous spending, I am trying to tell myself to not spend for the first 19 days, then I will have some spending days later on. Which means I feel like crisps I will wait for my groceries and not add it on to my fuel trip, keeping as many no spend days as possible. Sorry for the waffle. Happy New Year. Please @cathybird can I have one for today...thank you XX1

Counting today as DMIL paid for lunch, I bought milk but used the food budget and I was passing the big T3sco so got the GreenJinn Minor Figures milk - they don't have it in my local one and it's much nicer, the £1 off brings it to pretty much the price of the A1di one.
