Thank you @joeyjimbles @enthusiasticsaver I realised it was only £150 when I got home and logged into the app. Anyway now sent. I shouldn’t have so many on the go at the same time with different amounts 🤣 I suppose I should set up standing orders but would rather have the option of sending less one month if I needed to.
@PennysIntoPounds I’m shattered now so doesn’t bode well for later 😆I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)3 -
Happy March.
I recommend the West African peanut stew - very tasty and OH enjoyed it too.
even when you are shattered and enjoying a glass of wine you are a million, squillion times better than me at cryptic crosswords!2 -

Bit late in the day but happy Saturday 🥂
Was rudely awoken by the young cat at 5.30 jumping on my head with a very loud miaow. She made both me and the dog jump!Did my usual live ClubFit session then took the dog for a ball throw on the park across the road.After that went to the local shops for a paper and only a paper nothing else. Couldn’t be bothered to trek all the way to the big Mr T just for a paper so the soft plastic recycling will have to wait until another day.Received my monthly £2 credit from Am@zon so used this towards the purchase of a hula hoop with a weight which I’d promised I’d treat myself to on payday. I could never understand how I was earning £2 a month from them but I signed up to their shopper panel a while ago and they keep giving me £2 a month for watching adverts which I assume are the adverts I have to watch on my free version of Duolingo. I don’t watch any other adverts so it must be. Not complaining anyway.Have done a couple of PA surveys and a YG one.DS and the GKs visited this afternoon and DS gave me a card and present for Mothers Day.The seeds arrived so will get some of them sown tomorrow in the heated propagator.Tonight’s dinner is beetroot burger, wedges and salad. Pink cava chilling in the fridge for later.I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)5 -
Interesting about the adverts - I get the free Duolingo but no £2 from Amazon so perhaps there's something else? Or they owe me!
When you're next in L!dl, it's worth having a look for their seeds which have reappeared. I think you said you couldn't find any the other week. It seems they saw you coming and hastily removed the seed stands to refill them and by the time they got them back instore, you'd gone.I think a bit of sunshine is good for frugal living. (Cranky40)
