Interesting to see you use cash instead of bank cards, this is what Mrs. K. and I have started doing in our attempt to become debt free.
You still need to make me that pizza!2018 totals:

Thank you Chrysalis
and hello Kerri :wave:
I'm naughty and opened my Pinot that I had saved for Saturdaycurrently supping on a wine spritzer
Did I say I went to the park after school with 6 kids (eldest came along to play rugby with them) and I ended up with 2 of the neighbours kids as well? 8 kids is ruddy hard work. Funny thing is I know of someone who has 10 children :eek: how she manages on a day to day basis without a drip going straight into her with 40% alcohol is a wonder to me ???! Sheesh! And there was me thinking of becoming a teacher............I best leave it to the professionals I think! :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

Oh good luck! I just posted on your diaryI think the cash route works best for me otherwise with a bank card to hand I think I have an endless supply (which clearly isn't true or I doubt i'd be here :rotfl:)
Do you have a slow cooker? If so I will share recipe it was yummy!!! Otherwise I think the pizza might go cold if I post it over :rotfl:MORTGAGE BALANCE when we moved Aug 2024, £120,000.

DFW321: No slow cookers here, we're poor don't forget.
Send me the recipe anyway, we may improvise.
LOL, reply received and I've already gone whining to Mrs. K. "but sheeee gets wine, look!" Of course, Mrs. K. is a hard task master who says "No".
Ditto on the bank cards.2018 totals:

Hi DFW, :hello:
Happy shiny new diary!

..Your mate with ten kids? Big ones will help entertain / supervise little 'uns - guess the six you're keeping safe are much closer in age = much harder work so well done!
You deserve a drop o' good cheer - in fact, think I'll join you in a tipple [cider for me]; cheers m'dear! :beer:0 -
Bread maker! That's even more middle class, my dear.
We still work in pounds and ounces here up north!2018 totals:
