    Six for yesterday and another one for today, I've been out and won't be out again so confident this is day 7 of 10.  My new technique is I don't take my purse unless I really need to buy something so today I was out for a medical appointment which would normally end with me parking nearby and paying so today I parked further away for free and walked, then I'd almost always have a mooch round the shops and buy something I didn't need.  No purse today so NSD.  I'm sure it will catch me out at some point but useful at the moment.  I'm hoping for another NSD at the weekend before out visitors arrive for a more expensive week next week.

    Oh dear, I counted yesterday twice!  So today is day six out of ten.  I think I'm a bit keen.
