Debt Reset....

What a gorgeous cat 😍, I love her spotty ears. I do hope you didn’t trash her spaceship!

She trashes spaceships herself - she's a box chewer. The funniest one was a box that we bought home from a garden centre. It wasn't until she was sitting in it that we noticed that someone had written "LION" on the side 😂

Wonders in to whisper that my total debt now is under 4K. Only by a penny just now but hopefully a little more by the end of the month.

Well done! Great achievement

That's brilliant! Well done!

Yay! And that's considerably less than half what you had 18 months ago. 💪

Thanks all and yes @jokono it certainly is. 

I picked 5 lbs of rhubarb from the garden yesterday (whilst also repotting tomatoes in the rain), I'd already cut some on Saturday for Looked after Person's mum and there's still a fair bit left outside. Yay, free food! I'm going to make rhubarb and ginger scones for straight away and some rhubarb crumbles for the freezer. I gave about a quarter of the haul to my next door neighbour because we like her a lot and she feeds the cat if we go away. Anything left after baking will be chopped and frozen for jam making when I have a spare day. 

The raspberry bush (next to the rhubarb) is packed with developing raspberries. I have no idea what is under the soil down there (bottom of garden) but it seems good for growing fruit. I'm going to dig up a bottom corner of the lawn and plant my plum tree this year.

Well look at you go - that's brilliant, well done! 

I've also got fruit envy - if you were close by I'd suggest swapping rhubarb for some of our gooseberries!

Ooooh, it's so lovely to see debt totals coming down, isn't it? I remember it well! I think it's a good year for rhubarb. I picked another kilo for stewing yesterday - I love it with yoghurt on top - & made some jam a while ago. I can't decide whether to make rhubarb chutney this year or not. I think I'll wait a bit & see if it looks like we're going to have sizable apple & pear crops.

I've just come home from best friend's house with some broad beans and an extra tomato plant because 2 of my tomato plants were battered by rain. In return I'm going to take him some rhubarb crumbles on Sunday. We also picked a pea pod for testing purposes but ate the peas from that straight away 😊
