    New to MSE ... trying to sort out my finances after ignoring them for too long :/

    Love the banter and glad to see people having some fun while saving hard! 
    Welcome to my page, please do join in. We don’t always know what we’re doing, but we try 😁 There are also some very good influences who pop in to tell me off and keep me on the straight and narrow. @beanielou, @Sun_Addict and @nannygladys are all really good, I’m going to be like them when I grow up!

    I actually have something spooky to tell you all…I sometimes do my own tarot, just for fun. I did a 3 card one in March, then on Tuesday (I think) I did another and got the exact same 3 cards. I shuffled and cut them really well…what are the chances? You’ll also like to know that one of the cards was death 😮 An ending of something, but hopefully not of me 😬
    as the other 2 were pentacle / money cards, I’m hopeful that it’s the death of my bad spending habits…we shall see 😁

    Ooh mf, I don’t know how I missed you! Although you have different strengths (like your love of hotel chocolat and that when I’ve been bad you will often keep me company 😁)

    Aww you could have come down and done my dolls house for free!  I've done precisely nothing since I put a coat of paint on it :D 
    When mine arrives we can compare lack of progress with each other 😬
