    I've added £1.50 Vinted £11.57 surveys and £14.60 TFL compensation for Monday's delay to my savings. The total is now £237.71 since the start of August. All these little amounts are adding up over time.

    Spend day today out and about in London. Also bought birthday cards for OH. Now just his main present to sort.

    Your travel prep is now very organised and saves you money too.  When I had to travel for work I used to take a pot of homemade overnight oats with fresh fruit and a nice flask of tea.  It was actually easier than queuing at the station and it was a treat to get settled on the train and enjoy my breakfast.

    i hope your little sister gets her UC paperwork sorted.  Chase or Monzo are good basic accounts.  There are sometimes cashback offers on £co for opening accounts.  Santander was paying £15 cashback - not sure if it still is.

    Two no spend days over the weekend and another one planned today so that makes a total of 8/10 in my first NSD challenge. I am finding it very motivating keeping count and have been putting lots of effort into taking  food and drinks out with me. The tough day was Saturday as I left my phone behind by mistake and thought I might have to buy an A-Z but the lovely people at the visitor centre at Liverpool Street gave me a printed map to where I was going - amazing!

    Family day today and then I am home alone tonight. I do not want to waste money I don't have on a takeaway. I am planning fish fingers or scampi, chips and peas from the freezer later. Anything edible we have in the house is fine.

    I am hoping moths are starting to breed in my purse although I will be opening it again tomorrow.
