Sounds completely yummy jammy dodger!! I'm with Happy Monday and you, nothing beats a fancy cake when you're in the mood for it
The toasted tea cake sounds good too, Happy Monday

So I think I’m still on 7 NSDs, nipped into town yesterday and bought some foody bits outside of the big shop and a couple of work tops, just cheap ones from Primarni, so not a NSD. I was hoping today might be one but I’ve got to go to the emergency dentist, I’ve got horrific toothache and I’ve got a feeling it’ll be an expensive visit.......1

Oh dear Happy Monday, hope the dentist visit goes okay

Declaring early today with 12/15. We are off out for a lunch but happily it is a 'work' assignment, with the mystery shopping company picking up the bill. And we need to spend £70-£80. What a shame.

Hope it goes well and that your dentist can sort things out for you, Happy_Monday.

Yesterday was an NSD (I paid for a bus ticket, but not counting that as it was an absolute necessity what with yesterdays awful weather!).
Today won't be an NSD - me and the OH are having an early pancake day as he won't be around again after this weekend until after Shrove Tuesday.
So ending the week on 8/15.Save £12k in 2022 = £3705.97/ £7,500 (49%)
