  • Yes our cat does too but has the tendancy to decide the food that was his favourite five minutes ago no longer suits his tastebuds just as you buy in bulk. We just had the very same conversation in Mr S. Shall we go for the bigger one to save money? No best not you know what he's like *sigh* you are truly mad having Lots of the fussy creatures 😹

    Oh it's not a theatre visit. It's cinema. West Side Story has had a Spielberg reboot. I never liked the original, went to see it at a local theatre and loved it so I have high hopes for this version. Got a saver ticket for £6

    4K! Blooming ek that I won't be hitting that sweet spot anytime soon later or in the far distant future 🤣🤣🤣
    Take the bad influence as a compliment @WinterWarrior I would if ever I was accused of such a thing 😇

    My grandaughter have both won small amounts (1 twice) and only have £50.00 worth each . My DH has had £4.00 since they were first issued and has never won a penny!
  • That's the luck of the draw isn't it @ladyholly but I want to stash emergency savings in their so wins will be a bonus not an aim for now. Thank you for posting 😁

    We have 'sweet spot' in the savings and they have won the grand total of £25, but it is more than they would earn in savings so a result.

    Books, biscuits and bad influence?  I am off to have a look at the diary of @WinterWarrior
  • Hello @redofromstart long time no see. I must catch up on your diary. I'm binge reading WW's at the min but will bookmark yours for next catch up 😁

    Not missing anything much tbh, busy with work.  Hardly posted.  Georgette Heyer on Winter Warriers so I am happy.
  • I can just imaging ML booting me from the site for encouraging too many book and chocolate spends 😮
