    6/19 No spend days, I did have an auto top up, but I count this as a monthly bill. All set for a week of No spending and getting a new job!
    Missions for the rest of the year:-

    1) Build up an emergency fund (EF) 
    2) Improve spending habits.
    3) Create a budget that is compatible to me.
    4) Buy healthier snacks to avoid junk food splurges.

    Saturday was an NSD: sadly, today I had to fork out on a new phone power cable as I left the bag containing my charger and a novel somewhere in Bristol. Tch.
