I'm an iphone person too, I tried android and just didn't get on with it. I like being able to link my phone and ipad as well.
I hope you survived the storm and didn't have a power cut."Good financial planning is about not spending money on things that add no value to your life in order to have more money for the things that do". Eoin McGee3 -

Good news on the power cut! DD's OH texted last night from the Highlands that they'd had one. He was off to bed early as it was pitch black inside and outside with a raging gale and there wasn't much he could do! Luckily all was well in the morning with no damage done and the power was back on. Although in one of the villages a few miles away they lost a lovely old tree that had been completely uprooted.Finally Debt Free! - July 2016 🌟

Glad waitrose is working out well for you.
Enjoy your night out, you deserve it, and socialising is good for your mental health so it's definitely a 'must' financially."Good financial planning is about not spending money on things that add no value to your life in order to have more money for the things that do". Eoin McGee3 -

I know you have left Amazon Prime but if you decide to use it again Bosch and Bosch Legacy are brilliant series. We do use Prime but we kept it purely for the Michael Connelly series at one point. the Lincoln Lawyer is on Netflix and there are two series on there so worth a trial just for those two if you were minded. I love and have read all his books . Sorry to be such a fan girl. Hope that you are feeling better after your fall .beanielou said:Oh & meant to say reading Michael Connelly’s latest book from the library. Resurrection Walk.Enjoying it.3 -
Hope you are ok after the fall and the library book has dried out ok.
You most definitely have to live so don’t feel guilty about the money for the girls night out. It’s not the end of the world if you pay it over a longer time period than the one you’ve given yourself. You’ll go stir crazy if you don’t get out 👍January spends - £587.585
