Ha £1,750/ £1.75k not £17,500/ £17.5k. 

@RobM99 my wife is a nightmare for the bags etc. Before anyone asks she doesn't work so it's not like she's earned the money to buy the thing in the first place. I used to buy this stuff for her regularly, can't do it anymore not the life I want to live I've been in over 6 figures of card debt in the past and not the life I want to live again.

12/20 please for yesterday, Tuesday. Aiming to get the frog on Thursday! 

Well done Arkers, Sukeyboo, Maman and Annie G for achievements - great, to see so early in the month. You're right Maman it does make such a difference when 1st is a Monday. 

Well done too alt80 for avoiding both sorts of temptations despite the level of provocation yesterday. I'm not sure it's the same but if I have a drink I am much more likely to look to eat snacks, chocolate etc even having decided earlier to not indulge. Hope today is a better day for you all.

8/14 for me for this evening please. Alt that is a seriously high maintenance OH, even at £1,750 not £17,500; debt is so stressful. I miss the old eek smiley!
My 2 cheaper handbags, one black one pink, have been gathering dust for 12 months. I find staying local it's mainly pockets with a small backpack for longer day walks last summer. I will dust them down when I have to squeeze back into a suit and head to the City. Feels like another world away at the moment!

Thanks @maman

Got home found her offer hadn't been accepted - it was an LV on Vestiaire (new dream app for her that is FML). They wanted £1.9k I've told her she either sells some stuff to fund it or forgets it. Now got the she's looking for another bloke as soon as lockdown over haha he's welcome to her.

@Coveredinbees!!!! lol re phone in washing machine I remember one of my staff doing that few years back thought he was taking the p some kind of excuse, wasn't though. Gave us a laugh at least.

Am I reading this correctly £1.9k for a Bag......!!

Arkers

Good morning everyone, 
12 please Cathy 
News in the Arker's household we had a call last from the dog's Trust offering us an 11 month old fur baby. She's a mixed breed, but looks like a lab that has been shrunk in the washing machine! She's settling well and becoming part of our family.

That's lovely news Arkers! 
A quick update on my peacock annual target. I am 7 days ahead of where I was in 2020 and 22% of the way to my 150 day target at 22% of the way through 2021. On track at the moment.
