Didn't spend much today - £2 - as just needed some lettuce and cheese.
Day started well as I've lost five pounds but probably only through feeling poorly still you've got to take the good stuff wherever you find it! Had a lazy day today lying around waiting for cold to leave but I can hear out of both ears now so getting there!Mortgage OP 2025 £6250/7000Mortgage OP 2024 £7700/7000

Exactly. Think of it as a good start. Think of that selection box as a bad start...

Secrete pound coins about your car for occasions like this. And supermarket trolleys...
You don't need much money to enjoy yourself. Just somewhere nice to go without freezing small but important parts of your body off..."Follow the money!" - Deepthroat (AKA William Mark Felt Sr - Associate Director of the FBI)

I can't Z! Pound coins that I don't "need" are for the sealed tin and I am obsessed...:o Luckily I don't usually need them for parking as I'm dead cheap and will walk from the free parking spaces miles away - doesn't work in Glasgow though... my supermarket must be posh don't need coins for the trolleys here...
on a MS note I got some money back a friend borrowed a while back so have put it towards the dreaded BC, still hoping there might be some more money to be clawed back from the petrol money this month but need to wait and see. Back at work, dull day but all good.:DMortgage OP 2025 £6250/7000Mortgage OP 2024 £7700/7000
