Spent today doing some chores and went for a big shop - spent over £100 at Mr Liddle - that sure doesn't happen a lot - but 15% off some long shelf life goods meant they filled the basket (nuts, dried fruit, and tinned fish - yum yum).
Looking forward to doing my numbers for the month, I normally do a mid month update, but didn't this time around and it doesn't seem worth doing most of it now and then a few stragglers on 1/4, so I will treat myself to a Good Friday and do it then!!I think I saw you in an ice cream parlour

More chores today, sorted out "the room" - plus tackling a mountain of shopping bags that have been kicking around for ages - using a technique that ends up with them in triangles, and take up 10% of the space - which was relaxing - plus trying to unlock a 4 digit number padlock which no-one can recall the code for, done 1000, only another 9000 to go. I'll keep you postedI think I saw you in an ice cream parlour

Another day twiddling my padlock (not a euphemism). Now done 3333 guesses, no luck so far - I know I am giving away clues to my code, but if you want to track me down and steal my gym bag then I won't stand in your wayI think I saw you in an ice cream parlour

Five seven o five
But there's no reply
- more than half way through, getting a bit bored with it - but relaxing just clunking away during some webinars I have been watching

I use the triangle technique with my carriers too. Saves so much space in the boot of my car.MFW 2022 #71 £4400/£44005

Its quite relaxing as well. but then we do have far too many - now I think I will put a bag of bags in each of the cars and we should be good for months!!I think I saw you in an ice cream parlour

another 2000 done, I should have gone the other way round the dial - unless its just broken - I am preparing myself for that, so when I spin round to my starting number I won't be too disappointed - unlike the padlock which will be in the bin with some velocityI think I saw you in an ice cream parlour

I'm going to be so disappointed if your padlock is broken...I'm way too invested in what number it will turn out to be!!Debt Free I FFEF I Building Savings I 2025 Plan:
