Thanks greent.
No I gave it up since I wasn't actually doing any smallholding and none in sight.
A bit depressing!

Broke my fiscal fast already.
£2.40 on orthodontic wax and £7 on a replacement phone battery in the hope of avoiding the purchase of a new one.

Ah - I did wonder - I looked for it when on hols and couldn't find it.

Both seem reasonable purchases to me - wax counts as medicinal imo (assuming it's to stop braces rubbing) and therefore doesn't count as a spend and the battery is potentially money saving. Are you still in contract? - I'm on my 4th handset (Samsung) in just under 2 years - they keep dying but (thankfully!!) 02 keep letting me have just a new handset (same model) as I'm still in contract.

No I'm way out of contract. Its 4 or 5 years old. I guess a new battery is not unreasonable. IF thats the prob.

Loads of washing and clearing up done today and a friend from my old school coming for coffee shortly. She has left there too.

I have had my phone for about four years but it now won't run a lot of apps that I use because it can't cope with their updates. So I am scrounging around my nieces and nephews for one of their much newer discarded models!

smallholdingsister

Good idea Squirrel.
I am hoping it is just the battery. It won't charge above 50% and lasts about two hours now.

I have a smartphone, but I've never set up the smart bit I'm way, way out of date on phones Hope you can figure out the battery thing, SHS.

Thanks KC.
In moneysaving news I LOVE LOVE LOVE Mr T washable suits. DH was gifted one and he ALWAYS spills food down himself.

I also discovered my interview suit is washable. By...er...reading the label, and that a gifted linen jacket I have is also washable by trial and error.

NSD so far. Trying to keep it that way and hoping to watch the eventing at 2.
