    Lovely and sunny up here today and the first day out of many that the wind hasn't had that icy chill to it. Can still see some snow on the top of the fells and especially around Shap but nowhere else much.
    Glad you had the Mother's Day that you wanted.

    I shouldn't be allowed out on my own!

    First time out in months , had a coffee and soup with friend £6.70 out of spends that was ok.

    Decided to look at suitcases as need one for big Oz holiday . Fell in love with a Tripp one and it has somehow magically appeared in my hallway. £59.50 ! You gov survey money has gone plus my PA money £9.66 ..

    It could have been worse. Enjoyed myself in Trafford Centre !

    Ah well - you needed a large suitcase so at least it was a proper 'need.' You'll get good wear out of it. And think of it as part of the holiday spends as it'll be going to Oz with you!:D

    The thing for me is it was bought from real money and not on a credit card. I have no suitcases as they were got rid of last year. This is lightweight, four wheel and should last a while (I hope) .

    .....I found spending 'real' money such a great feeling after years of credit card debt. :j
