I wish my husband cared more. He just keeps giving random suggestions that are nearly always faintly ridiculous. This applies to most areas if our lives. It's a good job he's handsome.Debt Jan 2017 = £42kMay 2022 = £15k0 -

Nope, nope and nope, I didn't weightlift today and only did half the ironing. I did mulch three big flowerbeds but that's just playing in mud which is fun so it doesn't count.:D
I did pack my bags though. And was remInded just how annoying I can be because guess what I found? That's right, my cashcard:mad:Debt Jan 2017 = £42kMay 2022 = £15k0
