and the spending continues... just ordered a lovely coat
to be fair I do NEED a coat - don't seem to have one any more and my brother and I exchange £50 at Christmas which I feel obliged to spend so that will nearly cover it
Time to run, I'm shattered a combination of too much cheese and horrendous weather outside means I didn't sleep too wellbut need to get out there before I talk myself out of it, perhaps changing out of my pjs might be an idea...

It's red Beanie so hoping it'll cheer up my mainly black wardrobe:D
Rubbish when you end up spending money like that but probably better than ending up with no heating or big repair bill, mine is under warranty for 5 years but only if you get it serviced each year.Mortgage OP 2025 £6200/7000Mortgage OP 2024 £7700/7000
