My cats are both lovely and not at all mean (having being thoroughly tamed and warped by my daughter (the younger cat can't cope with being picked up normally but instead you have to carry her around like a baby!) But I do love cats. I am very fond of dogs but I don't think I could cope with an animal that was so reliant on me- I prefer my animals to heckle for food, want petting and then sod off.
I am a fan of almost every alcohol though- due to debt repayments I only get alcohol for my birthday/christmas/end of term etc but once I am debt free I am going to buy myself some really nice spirits.
Bottom line;
£49k paid off
Car HP paid off
Debt Free!
Saved Escape fund and moved out.
Current focus; saving Emergency fund3 -
I seem to have gone cold turkey with chocolate and started with liquorice, especially the tubes with sugar crystals in them!!!! A local shop has started selling them and we have to support local businesses don't we?£1 a day 2025: £90.00/365 Xmas fund3

I know which you mean @nannygladys. I love those! I also like the coloured pencils with the white running through the middle, not sherbet, but like a squishy white candy.
@Kakiste I think you need to adjust your budget to add in a bottle of the hard stuff with your shopping 😬. Which is your favourite?
