    NSD for me yesterday. Posted e-bay items but as buyer paid postage I not counting that.
    Spend day today. Had tesc@ delivery. Only stuff I really needed.
    Got a freebie from a site 30 dishwasher tablets. Gave them to a friend and she will make me some birthday cards in return :-)  

    11 NSD's so far.

  • 13/20 here. Grocery shopping done from budgeted Monzo pot. 
    I must admit to finding it hard, but I am learning to exercise my 'you do not need it ' muscle. So many times I have been on the brink of ordering something ( a tartan scarf for Burns Night on Vinted, or a book from World of Books) then I remember my pledge to not buy clothes and read all the books I own (I borrowed a tartan scarf from a friend in the end!)
