    Finally! NSD #3 for me yesterday after another very spendy few days. Today likely to see more spends as will be ordering a garden room (aka shed 😆), but at least this is planned for. Then must get my head back in the game, as I've definitely fallen out of the NSD habit these last few months.

    I can't remember what I did on Thursday and Friday - on the one hand I don't think I spent any money, but I know I bought bread and milk some time....  So let's say one NSD, one spending day.
    Saturday and Sunday were both spend days.
