    1/8 today 😀

    In fact I’ve made a net gain since I sold my food processor on marketplace.

    I did put some books in my Amazon basket but I have 4 from the library still to read so I’ll hold off until I’m on the last of those 📚🪱

    @Dizzycap I think it's meant to be a sports fan waving the team colours, but I do see what you mean about the undies :D

    @jay11_2 I'm so sorry, I'm confused, is that 1 or 2 NSDs? xx :)

    Sorry to confuse you Cathybird. That was one NSD, and today was another, so two now.
    I was just rambling about doing another NSD challenge (with different criteria) just for myself.
