    A busy time, but another 3 to add to the tally, which now stands at 8/15

    It'll be a funny week, with the last week of my job, so a leaving do (spending), me buying presents for my wonderful colleagues (spending) etc. I'm then away on holiday this time next week (more spending), but I'll get in as many NSDs as humanly possible before then.
