    Not today, I have just spent a small fortune on decorating supplies so that while I am at home waiting for a job to appear, I can decorate. I search for jobs in the evening giving me time in the day to decorate. It is not my chosen profession 😂😂 But hopefully the results will be good. And saving me on getting someone else to do it, also I know If I take the time, I can do a good job of it.
  • NSD number 10 for me today.
    Hoping not to spend tomorrow as my mum and dad have invited me for tea.

    A big gap between my posts as usual... I had pre-declared the 4th as spending (I actually spent less than I expected, but that was because I got lost while looking for the opticians on the other side of my home city And fell over 😥 Great for my step count though!

    5th was an NSD as far as I remember. On the 6th I bought a bottle of water while at work because I forgot to take any with me.
    7th I bought groceries 
    8th was more groceries
    9th was an NSD.

    Today has been an NSD so far but I'm at a loose end this afternoon. I feel I should go for a walk, but I might just walk into the bedroom for a nap.... 🤔
