Grandchildren are a big joy , everyone tells you but till you get your own you don't realise. Croup can be very worrying , DGS had it when he was younger , hope she is getting better now. Love all your talk of food , very jealous of your allotment.

Glad DGD is on the mend. I often feel that once you've stopped worrying about your own kids, you then have the grandkids to worry about. Mine are always down with something.

I love butternut squash and buy two a week. You need to roast it to make the most of the flavour then it's fab in risotto, soup or curry. BNS, red pepper and red onion roasted together are one of my staples. Enjoy xx

Morning everyone, a quick check in as I have been very busy with work deadlines and grandchildren.
I had another NSD on Thursday, so very pleased with that. Yesterday the dog had to go to the vet and that was £78 in cold blood! He is also booked in for an operation next week which will mostly be covered by insurance but there is still the excess of £100 to find. I use Pet Plan Insurance, which I know is expensive, but the dog is 10 years old and has an ongoing medical condition that means at least one operation a year. They have always paid up without any quibbles and no other insurance company would cover him now.
Unexpected costs like this just proves the necessity of having an emergency fund. I am going to make plans to build up my emergency fund faster so that I don't have to rely on credit cards.
I have the two youngest grandchildren for the weekend, so if you don't hear from me by Monday please send help!
Have a good weekend everyone

My daughters dog recently cost a £1000 in vet fees , luckily Pet Plan paid up with no problem . He is now back to his former self !

Have a lovely weekend with your grandchildren, my day was yesterday and I am shattered today?

Hi have just looked through your diary - very inspiring, thank you! You really seem to be keeping momentum with the money saving mindset! your allotment fee is sooo cheap..mine is nearer £70 a year :eek: but this is shared with one other so that halves the cost and this year the amount of produce has made it worth it!
Good luck on your onward debt free journey
