    £200 sent to the Nwide regular saver and £250 to the Principality. Need to send £200 to the YBS Christmas Saver when I get home as it needs doing via the app and that's on my iPad. 


    I'm sure you're aware SA but it's only £150 for the YBS Christmas Saver, I forgot this morning and tried to send £300 like last year and of course it wouldn't go through! Then it dawned on me.

    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 😆

    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!

    Interesting about the adverts - I get the free Duolingo but no £2 from Amazon so perhaps there's something else? Or they owe me! :D 

    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.

    You need to sign up to Am@zon Shopper Panel first @Cherryfudge. I’ve got enough seeds now, mustn’t buy any more 😆
