    Worth a look then, thanks - I find cards one if the hardest things to buy online. The sizes are odd, or the card is too thin etc, and I don't like crass humour. 
    Definitely recommend, I’m really impressed.

  • Forgot to say I’m really pleased with the cards I ordered from Whistlefish. The quality is top notch. I went through TCB then found a 20% off code so paid 66p per card. They took a while to arrive but definitely  worth it. 
    My downstairs neighbour buys her cards from the same company and is always pleased with them. 
    Glad to hear you saw your son and family today , I bet the GKs were delighted with their presents . 
    Where are you off to this time on holiday SA ?

    Morning happy Sunday. 

    Finally got around to weighing myself this morning and was pleasantly surprised to find I weigh exactly the same as I did before Christmas. I would like to lose 7lbs by my holiday which is very do-able as it’s 3 months away yet. 

    I didn’t realise until today that my FitOn app does live classes so have booked on to a yoga class at 4pm. I only have the free version which is sufficient for me. I’m more inclined to do a class if it’s booked in and live. 

    I need to take the dog on the park later just one of many things on today’s list of jobs. 

    It should be NSD 5 and I plan to cash out this week’s survey earnings later to add to my pot.

    Just finished the yoga. I’ve booked on to a few other classes in the week. 

    In money dealings won a lucky dip on the lotto, cashed £14.23 out from QMee and had my monthly statement from 🐙 now down to £402 in credit. 

    I used the code SPARKLE20 to get 20% off the cards and also went via TCB. The code is only valid until 17 January but I’m sure there’ll be others. I paid £11.50 for 12 cards including P&P. 

    Made a batch of spiced carrot, swede and red lentil soup for work lunches. Having stir fry tonight.

    Good money stuff going on with you SA - and hurrah for being on holiday countdown as well - we're not away until later this year and it currently feels like an age away! 

    Resisting the temptation to go and look at cards as the last thing I need is anything else brought into the place before we move!  :lol:
