    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!
