Well done folks with all the NSD
Today is a spend day for me - keeping at 10/20
Got a fantastic deal on bulk buy toilet rolls, another lovely 50% discount on a couple of items I really needed for babyface at Sains, and 2 x TooGoodToGo bags to collect this afternoon. I've also put some fuel in the car as I know it will save on an unnecessary spend day in February.
I'm not expected to have any more spend days in February, unless there's an emergency
Now for a large cup of coffee and 5 days until I get the apt NSD coffee cup gif

Hello all, another NSD today, bringing it to 9.
I’ve got a ‘haul’ of toiletries today, paying with Boots points and three little M&S rolls using a Love2Shop voucher I was given. Very chuffed about this! Boots are the most generous points I think! 😍
