Job hunting, as my temporary contract is coming to an end, somewhat helps to concentrate the mind. 🙃

Another one today, brining me to 11. Did pay for my prescription for my eczema but counting it as a necessity. Holiday in 10 days means I am keeping a very close eye on spends, as I don't want to dip into saving while we are away.
