  • We are all learning to cut our cloth WW.  You must have spare for chocolate and treats.  I split my pocket money up into pots in monzo so I roughly know what I can spend on different things.  Chocolate comes from joint budget as its essential.  Luxury choc like HC I buy from my pocket money.  You are doing really well.  Maybe Deni will share her choc as she obviously doesn't need it as much as us 🤣😋

  • It was just one … I’m eking them out! Luckily I also have 3 giant white toblerone’s (spell check changed that to gobbler ones, so I’m so glad I checked!) and half a sleekster and a whole box of milk Lindor, so I’m ok for a bit.

    Well I hope one of us becomes a millionaire tomorrow.  I would really like to build the house sometime that I have been designing for the last over 50 years.  It is my go to thing when I can't sleep & the house now is nothing at all like the one I was designing/redesigning in my 20s, but it keeps me out of mischief.  The new one even has solar panels.  Well a girl can dream can't she?

    I'll be interested to know how long it takes for the PBs to go through from the bank, I still pay by debit card for the quickness!

    I have a lot of PBs as I moved quite a lot when interest rates went so bad.  A friend has just over half what I have & he has won more than me.  So I guess £25 if I am very lucky, which doesn't stop me hoping.
