Babs the lovely kettle cost £25 leaving me with £108 left for food & travel & a bit spare in Emergency Fund. Finally I realise that every pound saved is money towards my retirement and my house. Only one month to my next payday cannot wait. I cant really afford to do anything this month but if i do get some free time i will do a bit of gardening as it looks like a wilderness. Cheap but nice.Aiming for a minimal spend 20222

That's a good price!
The lid stopped opening on ours after we moved in, it's still useable and I offered to buy a new one but TomBo said it's still got life in it.
