    Look at the NSD Train go! :D
    Declaring a very early NSD 9/20 Friday - I will be picking up a little shopping for an unwell elderly neighbour early in the morning, but they'll be paying - I feel like a 'personal shopper' spending other peoples money :D
    Wishing everyone a Fantastic NSD Friday! Let's keep the NSD train rolling along <3

    Not one for me today. Treating my parents to afternoon tea and buying my dad a card. Need petrol so may go mad and buy a chocolate bar as well. 🤗

    Today is an unexpected NSD, so that's me at 6/10. I did go for a coffee with a friend this morning but she paid for us both. It'll be my turn next time but it gives me another May NSD.
