    Glad to hear you’re going ahead with the kitchen despite the higher than expected quote. It’s about your quality of life, not just a whim or wanting a fancy new kitchen.

    It was minus 3 overnight here and I don’t like it. 🥶 On early shift later this week, I’ll be scraping the windscreen at half 5 in the morning, NOT looking forward to that! 😱 
    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.
