Morning all, good luck if you’re on a last push!After hitting my target yesterday, I’ve ordered my second TooGoodToGo bag in a week or so…£5 on sweet stuff, I may be able to have an NSD tomorrow but it won’t be the end of the world if not, I’ve tracked all my spending this month, which has been very worthwhile, especially with a fair few NSDs xx3

Hello, Day 17! Not sure how tomorrow's going to go, visit to new opticians and not sure yet how their payments are going to work.‘Keep your eye on the donut and not on the hole.’ David Lynch.

Not one today, no huge spends though, I spent £1 on wrapping paper.
Thank you CB for all your efforts this month. We are just trying to get used to our new higher mortgage payment and this thread is really helpful. x3 -
Not a NSD.
I've paid for a prescription and an eye test today. And I will probably order glasses by the end of day - if I can decide which ones! Currently thinking of getting 5 pairs and then sending most back.
