It does nothing structural, does it - nothing to solve the underlying issue. Though I'm not quite sure what *would* solve it, it's a long time in the making. At the moment, anything that helps us keep things under control is good, I suppose.2023: the year I get to buy a car4

The consistency is what's important, you're right. There's a lot going on, for everyone, you as well, and we do what we can. Look up at the sky sometimes 🌞2023: the year I get to buy a car4

Premium bonds are a good use of a bit of unexpected money, and can fairly quickly be re-allocated to other stuff if needs be. I like that

How is it June?
Money in money out day!£5 redeemed through Nectar today as well as £8 topped up on Amazon from ipsos and a pinecone survey. I may have bought an item of clothing from Sainsburys for £20 to claim 750 nectar points. I’ll return it next week because randomly nectar don’t take them back!£25 in from 1poll.
