    Not one for me today, just spent £1.50 in a corner shop close to a hotel I’m staying in — still at least £18.50 less than I’d have paid for 2 breakfasts here 👍

    Just checking in. I am still on 1 NSD.  Tomorrow will be a spend day as I'm doing the Race for Life with my Sister, BIL and two nieces and we'll probably hit the food truck once we're finished😄.
