    I think I’ve had an NSD - my only spend today was a dental check up.

    @KajiKita definitely an NSD and in fact I've edited the opening post to say essential health spending need not be counted just to make it a bit clearer! xx :)

    WOW look at all our combined NSDs 😍🤩 The NSD train is full speed ahead. I find all NSD contributions very valuable & inspirational as it's not easy to keep on the NSD train at times xxxx

    Today is a 11/20 NSD but it'll be a spendy day tomorrow as one of my neighbours is kindly taking me out in their car to do an early morning food shop / freezer stock up 😘. Whilst I really do dislike food shopping at the best of times, I'm actually looking forward to it; not that I'll be able to move well or lift much, as other than managing to take babyface out for one or two short & slow potter walks over the past 2-3 weeks, I've been unable to get out let alone drive since mid December, aside from being collected and taken to medical appointments - say no more! 🤐.
