Must try harder!

I feel like I’ve been AWOL 🤣
I will put some in premium bonds, I need to build on my £25 😁
notice accounts worry me...I’m not sure why! 

I agree the week is all Mondays until that Friday feeling 🤣
we are both working from home right now, but I just could not share a car, nope, no way. After a terrible first marriage I need to have the security of knowing I can get in my car and go, even after many, many years. Also it would end up being his car, I just know it. Grumbles would be grumbled every time the rear view mirror had to be adjusted, etc. ☹️

The car will be mine, I do the majority of the driving now and I have always done the majority of the driving when we are both in the car. In the last 15 months OH will have driven less than 250 miles!! which is a huge difference from the 20 000 miles he used to rack up annually.
I have always owned a car since passing my test about 30 years ago, but OH has only been a car owner for about the last 15 years. We have always driven whichever car is most suitable or most accessible, so needing to make adjustments each time you drive is a normal part of life.
Like you, I also need the security that I can in my car and go.

I've lost my Friday feeling after opening a letter from specialist children's dentist, several treatments planned for the 7yo at an eye-watering £270 an hour!!! 😭

I know what you mean about notice accounts - some have really long notice periods and what if you needed the money? A week or two is OK though...the stocks and shares ISA I have is 3 weeks I think.

Ouch, painful !

Thanks @dawnybabes, it is! Sadly it's an ongoing problem she was born with so I think I'm looking at years of on/off treatment. I tried the NHS of course but the waiting list is over a year. I'm dusting off my EF and it doesn't cover many hours so far! 😂

Oh no...that’s robbery! If he doesn’t wear a mask (of the black with eye holes variety) he has no shame!!

Good morning and happy Saturday ☀️🌺
What to do today that doesn’t involve spending? I would like to get some reading, snacking and sewing in, but the house would like me to get some cleaning in, dog would like me to stand in the garden with her all day while she pootles and I have no idea what MrWW will want from me today (apart from feeding, that’s a given!). So I shall stay in bed with my coffee under a pile of cats for a little bit and see what happens later.
I hope you all have a fabulous day ☀️🌸
