    I know! I’m surprised you don’t all kick me out of the gang 😅 I also spent £5 something on a moonpig birthday card, that I forgot to report, but I will try and report everything (even the mad spends SA 😬)…and the list should be short in august because…no money! 
    The card was a dilemma, as the work lady in question didn’t wish me happy birthday last month (even though she liked an Instagram post so should have known) and that was a bit meh …however, she is nice (if a bit scatty). So I dithered for a while and then decided it doesn’t matter that she forgot me, that’s not who I want to be.

    Well done on being you….dont change that. I’m sure the card will be appreciated….although I might have bought a much cheaper one 😂 Have you ever looked at Whistlefish. I buy most of my cards form there when I go to Cornwall but they do on line too.
    We’d never kick you out of the gang…..all been there 🥴 don’t ya know 👍
    Hope you find something to enjoy……do you like crafts at all?

    Whistlefish cards are fantastic and they have good offers.

    I’ve not heard of whistlefish (I don’t think). Thanks for the recommendation Lou.
    Milann I am a Jack of all trades, but in summer it irks me to sit inside too much. I had a good run on quilting and have a half finished quilt I could work on…I loved doing it for a while, but then it started feeling like a second job. I enjoyed gifting them, but they were expensive to make and I don’t think the giftees realised how much money and time got poured into them. I paint a bit, but it’s finding the time to stick at them. I’m not a bad forger 😅 but struggle with my own inspiration. I am terrible at knitting and crochet..truly dire!

    I can also recommend Whistlefish. I buy cards for the whole year in a job lot in December/January when they have the 10 for £10 offer on. Their cards are beautiful and really good quality. I think they have an offer on at the moment.

    Another whistlefish fan here.  The cards are lovely.

    Whistlefish looks really good. I tend to fall back on moonpig as it’s more convenient than getting stamps in and remembering to walk to the box. I realise it’s essentially paying a lazy tax! 
    I haven’t spent anything today and my finance/budget book arrived, but I haven’t had chance to have a proper look at it yet. So I’ve not changed yet, but soon 🤭
    I’m up to £4 on prolific and I’m on day 133 on Duolingo. 
    I kept thinking it was Friday today, so tomorrow will be a very sad day at work 😅
    i hope you’ve all had a good day ⭐️
