    Glad yesterday went ok despite the dad chat - yes london parking is a modern art  form - one is never sure if it’s finished or not 

    I am imagining you wafting around your fabulous garden in a kaftan and a glass of rose :) 

    The boss sounds annoying but glad you got the bonus 

    We definitely need pics of the new kitties /cat 
    DON'T BUY STUFF (from Frugalwoods)
    No seriously, just don’t buy things. 99% of our success with our savings rate is attributed to the fact that we don’t buy things... You can and should take advantage of discounts.... But at the end of the day, the only way to truly save money is to not buy stuff.    Money doesn’t walk out of your wallet on its own accord.

    Hope you are 'making plams for Nigel' & Nellie  :love:
    I think they are 4 or 5 months old. So still quite young. 

    We are thinking of names … Mr KK has suggested Bonnie and Clyde, I suggested Gertrude and Jekyll. We have both firmly rejected each others suggestions! 😉😂❤️ (Nice to have something to laugh about … )

    Triumph and Tiger? I was trying to think of motorcycle themes for Mr KK. 

    They are so cute. I don't think I could resist.
