Hi Beanie, hope your chiropodist/podiatrist appointment goes well.When I went years ago for a bad recurring ingrown toenail they were called chiropodists but when I went back last year for the same issue (first time it had been badly infected in a long time) they were called podiatrists. 🤷🏻♀️Success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts. Car loan 1 £11,174, Car loan 2 £5,532, CC 0% BT £780. Debt Free Diary to try & keep spending in check.4

Re the balloon chat, I got a balloon arch kit from the online rainforest shop for LMG's 21st. It was about £15. There were a lot of balloons to blow up and it was a little fiddly but it was worth it. If you have someone who could help you blow them up and put it together it does look quite effective and more expensive than it is.Mortgage at 12/07/2022 = £175,000
Mortgage today = £161,690.76
