The thread is always off topic according to this squirrel who is very dissappointed about the lack of advice about digging up nuts

Just for this little chap...

You're  best first to divide up your nuts into those you'll  need this year,  in 5 years, and 10+ years.

Keep your instant access nuts somewhere easy to reach, in case you  get peckish. 
Then put  some in a fixed term account, or freezer for example. 
Then plant the rest.

In 10+ years time you'll  have a whole new tree with  unlimited  nuts to keep you going forever.

THE END

Wise advice.

Yesterday I had a big bag of nuts that could have lasted a long time. However I ate them all at once.

I don't think burying them would have been a good option.

Well, having collated our end of July figures, we have 70,000 more nuts than we had this time last year, and that is after just spending the thick end of £3000 on a new boiler (planned change)

Our annual spends to date now stand at £15,546.   This equates to just 2.46% of our current overall pot.

We have had "some" income so far this year too.... a grand sum of £545, made up as follows:

Bits and pieces of interest - £309
Cashback (inc 123) - £75
Vouchers (surveys and clubcard) - £56
Sold items on FB - £105

Its been an expensive month so far....actually spending some of our nuts!!

Boiler - £3000
Car service (brakes) - £90
Dental hygienist - £70
New bedding - £20

Still to come over the next couple of months, new glasses for us both @ £300+ a pop
Couple of UK holidays in Sept/Oct


We'd better get our maturity funds from Yorkshire Bank in the first week of September (maturity letter awaited with baited breath), otherwise our cash flow is going to come to a grinding halt, and i'm going to have to raid our ISAs.    I may have cut this a bit fine!!!

We're going to be down to our last £130 cash by 3rd September!!     Everything is going on CC until then, as the next payments dates aren't until at least 17th September!

Expensive glasses. I spend less than a 1/10th (£30) max on mine. They must be special.
