    I'd better get the heated propagator out then. If I do mine at the same time as you, then maybe I'll remember to shove them in the fridge!
    I will try and remember to prompt you! 😉😊

    Thank you ☺️ 
    How’s your latest role btw? I don’t get much sense of how it is from your posts so I am hoping it is just about okay …? 🤔

    It’s ok, sometimes great, sometimes awful but ok. I would like to work less hours but despite thinking my boss had taken this on board I don’t think it’s likely to happen until Aug at the earliest. And by then I will be thinking “oh I should just plod on for the money”😂

    Sowed courgette, cucumber, mini sunflower and candelabra primula - the latter needs stratification which I’m not normally very successful with, so please cross your fingers for me …

    KK

    Totally agree, he could get one from a petrol station, why is your time less valuable than his ? 
     no clue what stratification is ....
    and loving the Dawny babes petrol station suggestion!

    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.

    Sending love to you and Chloe.  Hoping it is not that.
    Made it to mortgage free but what a muddle that became

    In the event the proverbial hits the fan then co-habitees are better stashing their cash than being mortgage free !!
