    Well done on resisting the cashmere :T.

    I'm glad the money situation is looking healthy, which helps to make up for having zero free time I guess.

    I spend my life on Excel for work so it's only natural I put those skills to use for personal gain. I'm a total formula nerd. :rotfl:

    Always good to have healthy finances :)

    Cats are like children and always prefer the box to the toy. I bought my cat a nice comfy bed but she still insists on sleeping in the dog's bed :)

    I used to love Avon Skin so Soft bath oil, no idea if they still do it. For now my special bubble bath is Badedas, always treat myself on payday, have done so since I was 15 and that was a VERY long time ago LOL. I remember the advert 'things happen after a Badedas bath' - still waiting :rotfl:

    I love Badedas SA, but it's one of the things I suddenly became allergic to sadly. Boys always used to get me it for presents.

    The cat tunnel remains unused, it unzips to make a bed so I will see if that gets more use. OH replaced some of the tired sleeping boxes with new ones yesterday, only there was a cat asleep in the box of flattened boxes last night. Clearly the new ones don't smell right.
