Thanks - I drink coffe in the afternoons, good bean to cup, never instant @Sun_Addict . I used to be ok with PG but went off it a few years back @Seasidegal58.
I have added some yorkshire gold to the MrT order (on offer at £2.50 so worth a try) and some plain yoghurt at 45p for the concrete.
Today I made one of the egg wraps for the first time in ages, forgot how much I like them. Had it with shredded left over beef with some horseradish mayo. Will put some red lentils in the nutri bullet to soak shortly so I can have another try at the red lentil wraps tomorrow. I suspect it'll be easier to lose a stone than find suits that fit, that I like and that are machine washable.
Used to make the mortgage free in three ones, but couldn't find the link so working with frugal queens version instead.

I can answer the child to adult passport question as I did my son's last month. If you have the photo taken in an approved store which emails you the code for your pre approved photo (£10 but worth it) there is nothing else needed except filling in the online form, adding your photo code and paying for it.2

Tea bags - personally I ideally like T3tley, but MrT's own brand (NOT the value ones, they're full of dust and rubbish and taste like it too) are a good substitute for when T3tleys aren't on offer. Also not a fan of PGT's, and I can't cope with typh00 any more since I bought a huge catering bag of them a few years ago and had nothing else for a year!🎉 MORTGAGE FREE (First time!) 30/09/2016 🎉 And now we go again…New mortgage taken 01/09/23 🏡

Lovely to see you posting @EssexHebridean
The Yorkshire gold are ok, but I will try @T3tley as it has been a while
@Seasidegal58 my default choice, but nothing longline jacket/machine washable/straight leg atm
I made cheese scones earlier (with some of the 45p value yoghurt) which are rather nice. I also made chestnut brownies. We went to a D0bbys garden centre and were frankly unimpressed. I wanted creeping alpines and some late summer perennial colour but I am far too mean/realistic to pay those prices.My mortgage free diary: https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/6498069/whoops-here-comes-the-cheese

In a minor aside (based on Mr Redos recent retirement) I would suggest that anyone who has 'defined benefit' pensions may want to check their retirement options. The reductions for Mr Redo going early where far less than we expected, and the government body who take over the pensions of places who went pop without funds are due to change their payout rates for ER shortly (as per their website) so a delay may cost dearly. We only looked because of a post by @Cheery_Daff for which he will be grateful for many happy years of happy early retirement.My mortgage free diary: https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/6498069/whoops-here-comes-the-cheese

Do you want some erigeron? I can probably salvage some seedlings when i'm weeding and put them in the post in a plastic bag with damp kitchen roll.3
