    Look at the NSDers go!  :D
    We're smashing through Marvellous March and a quarter of the way through the year already - AWESOME! <3
    Think of all the collective money we've saved between us this month and over the past two  ;)
    Tomorrow is sadly, an emergency spend day for me but if I have the energy, I plan on taking advantage of the Lidl App £5 off £40 shop and XX% off offers along with picking up my free items won on the free in-App scratch cards and get fully stocked up at night on the items I need, so I have little food outgoings next month ;) Every little helps <3

    Day 16 today as the cinema's online payment system wasn't working so I couldn't buy snacks.
