I've just caught up - so sorry to hear about both Millie and Hetty - may they both be running free now over that rainbow bridge. Fingers crossed for the possible new hound! x

Hettyhound

I’ve made an overpayment of £64; some from an account Tilly Tidy and £32 from a missing cash back claim that has finally been paid from a purchase in September 2021!  My son was on a holiday activity yesterday in town. We went on the park and ride bus service which cost £3.80 (child is free) rather than £7.60 (child is charged) all for driving 10 minutes to the P &R service.  I bought myself some new jeans which cost me £16 rather than £25 as I had some vouchers to use up.  Will be doing food shop today and stocking up on household and basics as I have a £6 off voucher if I spend £40, all too easy nowadays. Busy end to the holidays but all factored in to the budget.  I need to work out a monthly plan for the savings/overpayment planning.  My 2 year tracker ends in a year and then I’m on SVR for the remaining loan, that condition was part of the deal.  I’m hoping as the interest rates are forecast to fall a bit this year by next January the SVR may be similar to what I’m paying now 🤞

Sounds like things are going well overall.

Any news on the hound? Your frugal start to the new year is going well

Hettyhound

Update on potential hound.  She is now at the rescue kennels for assessment.  They have put her on their FB page because as I told my son if she isn’t cat friendly she still needs a home.  She is gorgeous and has had several comments.  I’m busy trying to stop myself looking at new hound coats and harnesses which we already have of Hettys and they have all been washed.  It’s so hard when they dangle shiny things in front of you 🤣

Best of luck

I’m afraid the hound was a no 😢 very unfriendly to cats apparently.  They have said they will keep looking and I’m top of the cat friendly list when one appears. I’ve also said I’ll be in touch should anything change with my 17.5 year old cat 🐈.  I’ve filled out a form for another greyhound rescue today so see if they get in touch 🤞

Sounds disappointing but better to know in advance.
