    Lockdown has helped me enormously and I’ve saved so much on fuel and wear and tear. 
  • weekly update #3
    canceled the phone order - in hindsight, £170 is too much to spend on a phone - went onto aliexpress, purchased a screen and back. got a quote to fix it which was £90 - parts only came to £45 and will attempt it myself - saving about £125.00. opted to spend this (and more) on xmas presents instead - £275.00 

    Total Saved - £125.00 not spent on a new phone for myself
    Total Spent on presents for others - £275.00 - £115 in the radley sale, £40 on amazon, £80 on ebay and 40.00 at joules.
    at least 20% discount and black friday sales got some good bargains for xmas presents via hotukdeals.
