Cheery's country living adventure
Comments

Oooh, I know - I might sneakily spend it on some of the brownies a little cafe have been doing - I've been sending them by post to other people but not had any myself yet... 😁😁
Prolific money FINALLY went over £10 - in fact went up to £16.05! Cash out is instant these days, so it pinged to PayPal, then I pinged it to the bank, and now it's in the kitchen fund, which now stands at £720.72.
Not bad for 'extra' money since the start of March! 😮 Amazing how it adds up. That includes regular saver interest of course, and premium bonds winnings, and scrapping the car - but it's all extra little bits that could have just been absorbed into the normal budget without even thinking.
Right, I have miraculously finished work already, so off for some kind of adventure (chicken-themed to start with!)6 -
I vote for treats too Cheery 😁 It is your birthday money after all and intended for you to have fun with.

Crikey, looks like there'll be some kind of mutiny if I don't spend it on cake! 😮😂😂6

Interesting, isn't it 😂😂😂 The cake will be in the kitchen for a little while, so you *might* say the money's gone to the kitchen fund 😂
