    Oh, aren't they funny? We've got sulky cats atm - Ash because his dinner wasn't the variety he wanted & Soot because he hasn't been allowed to eat the spurned dinner himself as a 2nd helping!

    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!

    You inspired me to have pizza and prosecco tonight. My favourite is reduced to £5.50 in Sainsbury's but I don't think I trust myself to stock up on a few bottles 😂
