    I have ordered some new shoes.
    Hope they fit!
    That’s the trouble with ordering shoes online unfortunately 😕 Hope they fit. I can’t remember the last time I wore proper shoes, have lived in trainers, boots or sandals for many years. 
    We have each found the makes for which the lasts suit our feet and pretty much stuck to those for some years now.
    Save £12k in 2025 #2 I am at £4863.32 out of £6000 after May (81.05%)
    OS Grocery Challenge in 2025 I am at £1286.68/£3000 or 42.89% of my annual spend so far

    How are the new shoes?
    If you have built castles in the air, your work should not be lost; that is where they should be. Now put the foundations under them

    Emergency fund 100/1000
    Buffer fund 0/100

    The new shoes are dissapointing.
    One pair still to try & one pair a funny shape that don't fit my feet.

    Boo to the weekend bug ☹️ I suppose the urge for rich tea biscuits is because they’re plain. Those and ginger nuts used to be my go to for morning sickness when I was expecting DS and DD.

    Rich tea and lemonade with sugar in to take the fizz out……reminds me of being poorly when I was little. Hope you’re feeling better now after your nasty bug 👍
