I have veered away from spending so far I went to pick up laundry basket I bought yesterday, I keep being tempted to eat cadburys creme eggs, but I didn't buy I just collected the basket and left. Very soon I am going to take MD to hospital and we will be early although because I am taking her I suspect she will buy drinks!

I am trying to make £260 in prolific and other sources by 31st May 2025 - I have £146.36 / £260 which is 56%
