Not a NSD for me today I’m afraid, however it was because I paid for some dinosaur dominoes I’d ordered for my granddaughter. Worth every penny though just for the fun we had today with them.

Good morning everyone
It's another NSD for me today 7/20 - far too tired to even think about spending
Wishing everyone a successful NSD
EDIT: Neighbour unwell and can't get a home delivery for 4 days , so just been out shopping for them. Came back with a car boot full and now delivered but they paid or should I say, I paid with their card I absolutely hate food shopping but I have no problem helping neighbours in need
