    @Dizzycap it's up to you but if your only spend was on health issues that gave you no choice, and there wasn't any unnecessary spending, I'd rate that an NSD. xx :)

    cathybird - I'm happy to keep it as a spendy day because I decided to do another online stock up food/necessity shop for the rest of the month at 10pm tonight, so I can hopefully have no further spends other than the once a week for this and maybe next months medical necessity which I have chosen to have, as it is really helping me xxxx
