At the nearest petrol station to us, petrol was 1.69 when we drove past at 9am this morning & by the time we drove back home at 1.15pm, it had gone up to 1.72! 3p per litre increase in a single morning!
2026's challenges: 1) To rebuild our Emergency Fund to at least £5k.
2) To read 50 books (12/50) 3) The Re-Shrinking of Foxgloves 8.1kg/30kg
Remember....if you have to put it on a credit card, extend your overdraft or take out a loan to buy whatever it is, you probably can't afford it, as that's not your money, it's somebody else's!2 -
