    Morning all x NSD number 3 today. I’ve gone target free as I’m away on holiday into a tiny bit of July. Holiday has been appreciated all the more thanks to various money saving independent aspects like using TopCashback/using public buses rather than package holiday transfer and other costly shenanigans x
