    Maybe calling him Cedric was a way of cutting him down to size?

    I think Cedric is a lovely name for a cat 😁
    and saving is so hard, but you are right about visible riches versus security. As Dave R says, you have to live like no one else to live like no one else!

    Late to the party again but I stopped drinking caffeine about 5 years ago.  My ‘ahem’ bladder doesn’t like it one little bit ! I actually like the caffeine free Diet Coke (much prefer to Pepsi, though my DS likes Pepsi so we have both)

    Nope, Coke all the way, but it has to be original, I can't be doing with diet or caffeine-free, when I want/need a coke I want caffeine and sugar, think that puts me in a gang of one 😄
