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!Not all who wander are lost - J.R.R.Tolkien

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)Sealed pot challenge 822

Good morning and happy day off Friday 🧁🍫☕️📚🌈
Today will be lunch out (at the cheaper local diner) as MrWW is working all weekend. He’s been off all week though so I don’t feel too bad for him 😁
I have plans to pull out and re stack the airing cupboard….it’s all go here! Anything we don’t use/wrong sized quilt covers, etc. will be repurposed for quilting. How MSE is that!
I hope you all have a wonderful Friday with the lightest of work and the best of good luck…waves wand 🪄Not all who wander are lost - J.R.R.Tolkien

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 😄moving_forward said:Proud to wear the team pepsi t-shirt.
