I think I am on the same tryit offer, but away on holiday until Saturday.
hope the person feeding the cats doesnt leave it where my two can find it …….1 -
Will the cats get to share the sachet and submit a review together?
re-jigging of your saving/spending pots looks very sensible.2 -
Another vote here for the tumble dryer. I have a combined washer/dryer for space. I only really use it to dry the towels and tea towels. I don't have an outdoor space to dry anything and the towels take so long to dry. It's worth the cost in my opinion.On YNAB I have a combined budget category for food, drinks and alcohol and then a lesser one for household items like washing and cleaning stuff plus small things like light bulbs etc. I also have a completely separate category for toiletries/make up/vitamins. It works very well.Finally Debt Free! - July 2016 🌟

Just got back from the park volunteers’ meeting. It was productive so worth going.The cats shared the sample cat food sachet and enjoyed it. The make is Blink.Look at where the young cat is sleeping despite us having several more comfortable places for her to sleep 😆 This is a tiny box that Mr SA’s scooter battery came in.
