    Thanks @PennysIntoPounds and @savingholmes 😊
    Thanks to buying the car I am going to have to minimise OPs over the next few months and build up my savings again, so little wins like that reassure me that I am still making (some!) progress …

    Heart warming kitten photos - ours was a rescue about 7 months old and was very frightened to start with, but is the boss of us now.  Always frightened of people and cars but that's not a bad thing.  Have a lovely easter with them.  And new car too - amazing.
