    @ Sallyp2 - A very warm welcome to you & enjoy the NSD train as it chugs along through the month 🤗😁.

    Declaring a very early 3/10 NSD Sunday - I'm on rest, so it's a PJ weekend with absolutely no interest in spending, as there's nothing I really essentially need 😉 and I'm bound to forget to post, if I don't do it now xxxx

    Not one today - went to a big car boot sale and picked up some very cheap books for the kids. DS had a ball spending his money and as I make him ask for prices, they tend to discount as he’s only 9!

    I agree Costco isn’t any cheaper. Maybe it is if you love branded stuff, but the sm own brands are cheaper. I hear the petrol is good though.
