    Had hairdresser yesterday, so used the lack of NSD to get birthday cards sorted for the month. Today is first NSD for the month.

    Number 2 for me today. It’s a beautiful day here and I’m going to have a lovely day at home. 
    I’ve deliberately set my target low for me this month as it felt a bit of a slog getting to 24 last month but now I’m in the mindset of not wanting to spend at all! That’s got to be a good thing and I’m definitely living up to my username 💪
