    That’s a fabulous visual @Naomim makes my spreadsheet record of books I’ve read look really boring 😁
    It's fab isn't it! That's why I want it 🤣 Think I'm going to have to get a bullet journal and 12yo's pens out.

    Good morning and happy Thursday ☕️🍫☕️☕️☕️☕️ Just 2 more days until the weekend, we can do it!
    This morning the mortgage payment and tiny overpayments had hit the balance so I tidied another £4.21 into it to make it end in a nice round 5. Then I tidied £5 to the Christmas fund so my current account was rounded to a nice tidy number too. I have a few small dd’s and payments that don’t hit until around the 20th and some presents that I don’t know exactly how much they’ll be yet, so there won’t be much tidying again until they are sorted.
    I hope you all manage to do some colouring and stickers today, or something equally joyful 😀📚🍫☕️

    Well done on the tidying. How long until payday 🤣🤣

  • I am trying very hard not to buy the stickers by numbers book I put in my basket last night after a certain someone had me browsing for sticker books. I am also fighting the urge to buy the botanical sticker book in the very range that certain someone first mentioned. For a money saving site it certainly helps you to spend money *sigh* I have so many wonderful things I just had to have when mentioned by someone on here. 🤭

    25 😢😢😢😢😢😢 It’s going to be a long hard month, expect many tears 😖

    @moving_forward I’m sorry 😞 I did say I was more of a warning! If we spin it, then I’m actually helping everyone get good value for money and enjoyment from their small MSE budget of spending money, whilst not going OTT. (I hope). Anyway SA made me get magic trousers (and half of MSE land) so I don’t think it’s just me 😬
    The sticker books I have are the Bibliophilia and the one just called The Antiquarian sticker book (which is a bit cheaper), they are both gloriously random and do have some botanicals and animals in as well. I think they will last me all year.

    @Scottiedog_3 you are so right! Purple is the way forwards.
    @Deni_debt-free_dreamer what could take up more headspace than stickers? Sorry you didn’t have much sleep and I do hope the coffee keeps you going.

    well obviously you are just rrying to fill the world with wonderful things WW and ensure we are all as happy as you 😘
    Now I have seen a couple of posts about magic trousers whilst catching up on your diary (page 191 if anybody's interested- nope well 😛 to you then). I did consider an immediate browse but decided that the world does not contain enough magic to do anything to my bum tum thighs etc etc so I will stick to my M & S jeggings and leave the magic lying around for others to get use of. 
    I am wondering what kind of person @deni_@Deni_debt-free_dreamer is if she can lie awake and NOT think of stickers 🥱
