April is over and done with, whether I achieved my target or not is totally irrelevant now 😁

So far this month I have 1 out of 14 NSDs

And I already know tomorrow will be spending, I've ordered a supermarket delivery - but I saved nearly half the price, more than half the price if you count their special offers and nectar prices!
So I'll be able to eat twice as many chocolate biscuits 😆

Toodle-pip :hello:
