Could you keep the Freddo in the fridge so it’s ‘harder’ to eat ? 

Harder to eat? I could still stuff an entire fredo in me god fridges frozen or otherwise 🤣🤣
Maybe WW isn't as uncouth as me

Good morning and happy Thursday….nearly at the weekend!
I was looking at my spending yesterday and my spreadsheets are ashamed of me! Apart from a touch of overpayment to the mortgage, I’ve not gone up at all from last month. I did have some presents to buy, but it should still have left plenty. I think I may have to designate March a very low spend month or I’ll never improve…sigh!
I hope you all have a perfect Thursday, filled with all good things 📚🍫☕️

Oh dear, I've spent quite a bit too. All planned and out of pots (like camping in the summer) but now my pots look emptier so I can't gloat over them anymore. I think I need to try and get in the habit of not thinking of the pots as my money, then I won't get annoyed spending them! 
Happy Thursdays! Taking 8yo to the dentist so that will be fun 😬

This is my problem too, if I count the pots then the savings look healthier, but then spending planned spends impacts on the savings. I want to get my saving to a point where I can discount the pots (but I kind of need them now to prop everything up). I should be ashamed of myself ☹️

@moving_forward you have to gnaw Freddo’s…it’s the law!

I haven't actually ate a fredo in years. But as you insist on me practicing gnawing I shall be on the lookout for them 😁

For those of you who share the Georgette Heyer addiction I can report that Sprig Muslin is on the kindle 99p deal now, so I have added it to the kindle collection. I know it’s not MSE when I have the aged and disintegrating book, book collection, but…😬

It's protecting your tangible collection from being destroyed.

Did you know that Stephen Fry is also an addict? Thanks for the heads up...

@Scottiedog_3 I didn’t. That’s interesting, they really do have an easy going appeal for most people who dare to try them. I started reading them when the heroine’s seemed old (I’d have been about 13) and now they are all so very young. But, it’s so lovely to have a twisty tale, with some humour, no violence and always a happy ending 😁
