    I’m not sure that cat food isn’t more expensive than people food anyway!

    Happy new tax year, all 🤣! It feels weird not putting anything into the LISA, in fact I've even had to dismiss an annual reminder that's popped up this morning - all for the greater good, though!

    I suspect I'll be a bit like that with my SIPP this year. We need to put £2,400+ in ISAs, so needs must change our habits 😕

    OK, so money is going OK (always the easiest thing to control!), but the "me" goals not so good 🤦‍♀️ A whole 2lbs lost since the start of the start of the year, and I woke up on the sofa at 1:00am after drinking too much wine 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️I know it's Easter, but still....

    So, it's Monday, it's time for a fresh start. Today is the day (and every day afterwards) I'm going to sort my sh*t out!!!

    Consider today your resurrection, if you will 😉

    I'm jealous - can't remember the last time I was that relaxed!
