    Yes, I did indeed!  :D  My local sent me a voucher for a free birthday lunch with 2 drinks of my choice along with 2 x free drinks for 5 friends  ;) I'll be using that for a Monday get together  :D
    Lidl gave me a free birthday pastry in the shopping App - Which I'll collect when I pop in probably on Friday  ;) 
    All my banking apps popped up wishing me a happy birthday, which I found freaky to say the least  :D

    Not today I bought a renewal for computer virus software, as I didn't factor it into my budget I feel it should be counted as a spendy dayXX
    Missions: -

    1) Build up an emergency fund (EF) £2000/£3500 By end of 2025!
    2) Pay off Mortgage Starting £58000 (11/04/2017) - Current balance £46985.67 (21/10/2025) Unknown time frame? Start coming soon. ( another 5 years?)
    3) Improve the number of no spend days.
