    Aw thanks guys

    Now banks checked all good, some spends on the CC but they are expensable so I'm not worrying about those.

    Will transfer some money over for the weekend spends.

    Cooking done for DD who'll be recovering from her transatlantic trip and dog sitting.

    She certainly won't starve.

    My fruit-pad is a bit poorly so off to google nearest store when I'm down in the land of shops......

    £28.03 from the horti work for no reason into the bank, I guess that's an adjustment?

    I'm not complaining.
