    @cathybird 4 please

    If you have built castles in the air, your work should not be lost; that is where they should be. Now put the foundations under them

    yay good luck @Dizzycap hope you bag some great bargains with your points. It can be very enjoyable to spend them I find!

    One today for me. I have a night out and a trip to the hairdresser on Saturday but hoping not to spend before then.

    @ Thriftymissus - Thanks to your wonderful post 🤩🤗, I've managed to complete all my needed shopping from personal & babyface necessities using Superdrug & Boots points on 3 for 2 deals to a food stock up shop using my loyalty Sainsburys points & Tesco coverted vouchers, and I didn't spend a penny today.; although it took me over 4 hours to do it all with the help of my very kind neighbour who actually enjoyed being out and about with me in their car - bless them! xx I'm absolutely delighted as it means I've got a ton of absolute necessities for nothing. I've now managed to load up my Amazon account with all the gift vouchers I had; meaning baby face subscription necessities are paid for for the next 8 months 😘, and it's therefore it's a 12/20 NSD Thursday 😋. I shouldn't need to spend anything for the rest of the month outside my 2 medical necessities which have already been budgeted for, unless it's an emergency 😁.

    This is why it's always so important not only to share NSDs to help support eachother to achieve NSD monthly goals, but also to share spend days 😉😏 as it often jogs older busy folks memory 😋

    Another NSD here. I think that takes me up to 8/15.

    I was going out for brunch today as it's my morning off work, but the men's skeleton heats at the Winter Olympics were far too thrilling, hence the NSD. Not that my bank account is complaining about THAT!
