Blimey, I'm with badmemory on this - mucking about with the dressing for that sort of line? Of course not! Just imagine their reaction if he went to an outpatient appointment and your home grown efforts were visible, as of course they would be - imagine the dressing down you'd get!

Thanks KC!
I got one of DD2's old coats out to list, discovered a small corner tear and thought "charity shop". It's a nice warm down coat.
So I listed a mini fridge instead, on fb as imagine the faff on ebay. No nap, but I suspect I will spend money later on groceries and may drink some alcohol.
I have not walked the dogs, but they've had loads of exercise (Daughterofsatan keeps breaking out of the garden, going in the field to eat horseapples and then running round to come in by the front door).7 -

I have a nibble on the mini fridge.

Morning!
Today won't be a NSD as I need dog food and I've just bought DD2 a t shirt for her drama production.
Going to get groceries with DD1 today. No other plans apart from eating less and doing some washing.4 -
Spending at £43 today. T shirt, cheese, potatoes, coleslaw and 15kg of dog dinners.
Lovely trip out with DD1.
Hounds are snoozing serenely and the wm and dw are about ready to be done.4 -

Super weather here. The daffs are up and DD1 remindedme that she planted most of them so I like them even better now.
Daughterofsatan has to keep visiting the sack of dog food.
Bit rubbish performance by me, snoozed, didn't walk dogs though I did entertain them a lot, listed nothing, AF though so 1/5.5 -
Well done on AF. Glad you have nice weather. It's been pretty good here too. Enjoyed watching wood pigeons chasing each other around and canoodling. Daffodils are bright and cheery too... We have a few and there are others scattered around which give me a lift when I see them.
Be kind to yourself. Snoozing was a result. You obviously needed itAchieve FIRE/Mortgage Neutrality in 2030

Lovely when the bulbs come through. I put some white Thalia scented daffodils in the year before last so I am hoping they flower soon.My mortgage free diary: https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/6498069/whoops-here-comes-the-cheese
