Glad you had a good holiday although looks like you packed so much into those weeks that you need a break ha.
As for as the rest goes you are doing brilliantly, how far you've come is incredible.2 -
Not a no spends day today. We have had to fill the car up with diesel this morning. Noticed that is creeping up in price again recently.
Breakfast, lunch and dinner will be from stores. Breakfast was crumpets, we have both taken our packed lunches to work and dinner tonight is bangers and mash with some greens made with some spicy goat sausages we got from the farm shop.
Tonight's jobs are:- walking the dog
- cleaning the kitchen
- watering the house plants

Morning RS, we also had crumpets for breakfast. Oddly, whenever I pop them in the toaster it reminds me of you!

I'd noticed that about diesel prices too - our supermarket PFS's seem to be holding at around the 178.9 level but some of the independents are back above 180 again.🎉 MORTGAGE FREE (First time!) 30/09/2016 🎉 And now we go again…New mortgage taken 01/09/23 🏡

@LittleMissDetermined ha you're not the only one re crumpets. Although farm shops, structural reports, the surrounding countryside around Worksop, motorhomes and Newark (not at the same time haha) always remind me of @RelievedSheff.3

The goat sausages were really very nice. Will definitely get some more if they have them in. We got one more packet with the half goat we bought.milann said:Goat sausages sound interesting1 -
