    Just sent a F&F to 118 offering £900. Not bothered if they don't accept but no harm in trying. :smile:

    Morning all, me and Django are currently on our walk. There was only one other couple here but they've gone now. It's super peaceful. 

    My signal isn't great so I'll post the pictures later on!

    Morning all!

    Thanks @gymgirl11, I used my trusty phone :lol:

    All bills go out tomorrow but I'm prepared, I'll have money left over and the only thing I need to buy is another pair of plain black work trousers at £6 from asda. Nothing else to spend this month. I'm jinxed myself probably now :lol:

    On Sunday I'm going to the gym with my friend, which will cost me £0 as she's able to bring a friend for free. They also have an offer on for £5 for the rest of February, so if I enjoy it I might go because they have a pool also.

    I'm also trying to drink plenty of water, I've drank 1.5 litres so far. Not much else going on really
