    Monday was an NSD.

    Yesterday wasn't, I needed some new trainers and then went round the charity shops and bought clothes I didn't really need... and then bought a couple of drinks (the second was because there was nowhere to fill my water bottle - the toilets had only hot taps).

    Today I will be getting groceries which for me counts as a spending day.
