Mr MV is great around the house, but a Mr KK clone at the allotment would be great. In excellent news, I have a ginger cat and a black and white one - can I get a double discount? 😉Mortgage free 16/06/2023! £132,500 cleared in 11 years, 3 months and 7 days

I have a day off today. It was meant to be a day of self indulgence and doing just what I wanted … it’s also the ONLY day that we could all meet to finalise the PC budget … 🙄 That’s an hour or so lost! The rest is mine! 😊🤩
I have started with a lovely long session of gentle yoga ❤️
Oh and Mr KK came home with these last night 😊

😂😂 @f0xh0les 😊
Thanks @redofromstart, @beanielou, @dawnybabes
Absolutely @Brie 😊
Delighted to be able to meet your customer requirements @themadvix 😉Had a quiet day at home (finished reading Hagitude for the second time, did a bit of crochet), apart from a 90 minute meeting with the Chair and another colleague from the PC to try and define the budget for next year … 🙄 It’s the last time I’ll have to give up my time off for them though as I have resigned and will finish at the end of the year 😊Mr KK is taking me out for dinner tomorrow night and we are going to Hay on Wye for a day out on Saturday 😊I have made two batches of flapjacks for work tomorrow and updated all financial transactions so I am all straight ready for pay day tomorrow 😊
