Hello, wishing everyone a lovely weekend.I’ll be buying petrol today and not grabbing a chocolate bar at the same time 😀
this will be NSD number 19 for me today as petrol is a necessity I don’t count, so inching towards my target, which feels like a slog but worth it as I’ve seriously reduced debt and added to savings.
well done @cathybird on going past your target
and I hope you are okay @dizzycap, thanks for all your encouragement for everyone -- and for showing us how it's done!3 -
