    You could eat only half (if that's even possible) and serve with a massive salad.

    I am up and at 'em this morning 😀! Woke up just before 6.00am, went out for a walk before it got too hot (introduced two sections of jogging for the very first time), home just before 7.00am, showered, breakfast, Shop & Scan, and am just waiting on 8 batch-cooked lunches for work to finish cooking (200 degrees 😓 Glad I also got that out of the way fairly early!)

    Plans for the rest of the day: Not very much 🤣! Hoovering, clean the bathroom and then hopefully a little snooze before I go to BF's later on this afternoon

    Sounds like a very productive Sunday - I literally sat and read all day, was too hot for anything else!

    Thanks Cheery 😀! Yes, the journey to FIRE starts here - my £772.24 will currently give me £30.89 a year or £2.57 a month at a 4% safe withdrawal rate 🤣!
    Sounds like a perfectly good return 😂  Glad it's finally sorted itself out though!
