I'm glad you are also taking into account his emotional maturity and as he gets older what is age appropriate. If he is enjoying reading you have done well.Fashion on a ration 2025 0/66 coupons spent

Actually @Baileys_Babe today in the library prodded by thoughts of your comment I picked him up a Terry Pratchett - one of the non Discworld kids ones - which will stretch him more I think. So thank you

Facebook sale handed over at 8am this morning so I dropped the £5 (technically it was £4 but I'd given her the change out of my purse, and £5 is a nice round number) into the building soc. Explained to my third member of staff that yes you can pay cash off the mortgage and this is how you do it. How many times have I paid cash off the mortgage? Three times...
The external payment has landed in my account so that needs to be £237 paid into premium bonds and the 28p will be TT'd across to the mortgage. I also got the form to claim for some other work, so the form was duly completed to ask for my £100 thank you very much.
I discovered about a month ago that our employee benefits include a free will writing service so I had my 15 minutes planning call with them today. We have another 40 minute video call to come in a couple of weeks, with both of us together. We do have to agree to them trying to upsell us from the free one, but I don't think that will be an issue for us to refuse. We've got very simple plans. I asked my sister to be my executor and she said there must be something in the air as her husband's sister had just asked him for the same thing. I think October might be will-writing month...(?)
Main task for the weekend is to fund DS2's JISA from his savings account. Which OH has to do, so less under my control...1 -

Well I found 5p road kill... but I think even I might draw the line at paying that off in cash, so I really need to find the other £5.02...2

Well in ultra fun news, I appear to have been paying the same insurance company for 2 different policies for the same car since 2022. No idea how or why - and apparently neither have they as someone is going to call me back when they've figured it out. One of the policies is £400 more than the other one...1

We've established I want the cheaper one. But the more expensive one renewed in August. Hopefully there will be at least some level of refund...1
