Well done on the grocery underspend. Wish we were heading towards one, but we have gone off in the opposite direction this month.
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 -
If Mr SA can't get the hang of the new coffee machine, I suppose you could make it and put it in an insulated cup. Also, if Mr SA is likely to guzzle it all at once, you could perhaps make it decaf, or half n half?
What would you get if all you got was what you were thankful for?2 -
Great idea, I bought him an insulated cup a while ago.
I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping) -.literally have been run over by a bike, mobility scooter and a car - still here 💪2
