@joedenise and @Baileys_Babe I LOVE IKEA, we only have a click and collect store close to us. The nearest is 2 hours away. But oh the money I have parted with! You just keep finding stuff you ‘need’! I’ll see if the click and collect shop stocks any, as they stock little bits and pieces. Thank you!2

Click and collect is definitely the best way with IKEA. I'm actually really good when I do go there as DH hates it so much he can't wait to get out so definitely only get what I've gone for and then out!

Our nearest IKEA is about 20 minutes away before CV I drove past at least 6 times a month. As I knew I could easily pop in when I needed anything it was to only get what was on the list unless I needed to take OH and then it was a different story 🤣Fashion on a ration 2025 0/66 coupons spent
79.5 coupons rolled over 4/75.5 coupons spent - using for secondhand purchases

Wish our IKEA was as close as that! Ours is nearer 1.5 hours so a good half day to get and back and get round the store!

Love the IKEA talk! Makes me want to drive down there! I would definitely need a lorry 😳.
Me and OH have just been asked to do some ‘modelling’ work. I say modelling, they need us to stand around with some fitness equipment, we are by no means models lol. It will more likely be pictures of legs and arms or close ups of equipment with us in the background. Have opted for Thursday next week as it gives us a 5 days to lose the holiday bulge!!!! And the best bit is they should be paying us £100 each! Which is a massive bonus!
I’ve been looking at my finances (again 🙄).
Will post another post going into detail before I lose this post!

That would be brilliant for your budget!1

Spoke too soon it’s £50 each as it’s only 2 hours but still great as a one off!1

Good news about the modelling!"Good financial planning is about not spending money on things that add no value to your life in order to have more money for the things that do". Eoin McGee0

It's still £100 you wouldn't of had and will still help the budget!

Well indeed @joedenise I’m very happy about it. Just did another little survey. Every little helps!1
