    It was a small spend day Friday along with a cash withdrawl for medical necessities in March; fortunately not too much and I may only be spending half the amount due to a disasterous hospital appointment; left hand right hand disagreements / errors, but today is a 26/20 NSD Saturday! Looking forward to seeing everyone on the new March thread xxxx

    Oh no to disastrous medical appointment, hope both hands work together in March.

    Thursday ended up being spendy but yesterday was an NSD. If I can do it again today I will hit target.

    I was nowhere near this month's target. I'm doing a big project and every time I start something I realise that I don't have the right tool or enough of something so I have to go and buy it. I think I've kept the local hardware shop in business this month, but things are finally moving forward and it's more important than a couple of days not spending money.

    I'm having a tourist day in the city so will be spending all day.

    Hopefully March will be better since I'm back to full time hours.
