    Been shopping this morning at about 7am - lovely and quiet but the butcher was still shut so we will make do with freezer contents. Money ticking along. Going to mention the Halifax switching bonus to DH after @BusyMee1 has alerted me to it. I can hear him now...
    Save £12k in 2025 #2 I saved £14,660.97 of £6000 or 244.35% of my target. The 2026 Save £12k in 2026 thread is here
    OS Grocery Challenge in 2025 I finished the year at £2880.99/£3000 or 96.03% of my annual spend so I am sticking with a £3000 annual budget for 2026

    Oh dear SL - I just had a dopey moment - saw the link to your debt free diary in your sig & thought that I must have a read of that!  clicked only to find myself back in the exact place I already was! - SIGH - must go have a coffee & chase the cobwebs away - you'd not believe I've been up since 6:20 & have been working since 8! - this is why I have a routine & normally drink coffee first! 🤣🤣🤣
    Often when I am here I see the same link and think the same, so you are in good company 😂
