    Hi WW

    yes i was shocked at the ending of JB but i'm not always a fan of happy endings so i felt it was realistic (** SPOILER ALERT ** his partner and daughter driving at the end to 'All the Time in the World' - so moving and tear jerking boohoo).  

    Agree with you @moving_forward - & I am singing along  !!  

    love Deni

    @Deni_debt-free_dreamer I think the ending threw me because they are finding a way to still bring him back. How many times can he be presumed dead? 🤣 The daughter was very cute.

    Back from a nice lunch 😋
    worked out my % and my costs are 53% So the months I’m not increasing I’m squandering nearly 47%…that’s pretty shocking 😖 I’m not including any big hit random expenses,  but even so … embarrassing 😳

    Hello!

    I haven’t read all your diary but just wanted to say as I happened to see the post about gifts. We had to take a long hard look at gift spending this year and seriously cut down on the budget for all birthdays and Christmas. As someone who likes gifting to people I find it hard but it put us in a sticky position in Jan / Feb this time and I can’t let that happen again.
