I Hope everything okay Dizzy? I hope you mend soon, wishing you a speedy and successful opXXDizzycap said:Good morning NSDers
Today is a Spend Day - Sadly, I've had to undertake an emergency life threatening treatment spend even though I always budget for such emergencies & I will get repaid most of the spend back, a spend is a spend, no matter how small. I will also have the 2nd part of the emergency op spend on Wednesday, so that to will also be a spend day, but I will log that on Wednesday.Wishing everyone a Satisfying NSD Saturday
