My DH has been watching a series on youtube this week about the best chicken wings in America and every night has come to bed complaining that a) we don't have wings in the house, b) we don't live near anywhere that serves decent wings and c) that we haven't got a trip to the states booked for any time soon 🤣South_coast said:I've just done a survey about crisps and now I'm really hungry 😅!Emergency Fund - £8572.39 / £10,000 :: Mortgage OP 2025 - £LISA 24/25 - £3200 / £4000 :: NSD 2025 - 2 / 150 :: Books Read: 1 / 52 :: Decluttering - 4 / 1000Engaged 9th December 2010 :: Married 29th October 2015 :: Bought a House 13th January 20175 -
