Escape to the country & living off savings

Time2count

Just keep the cuddles going as long as you can!

I've been guilty in the past of eating the Christmas presents and having to rebuy, solved it by buying more, some specifically for me 😜

I got a great tea towel couple years back with Yorkshire sayings on it - it’s very funny some of them cannot be real though!!! What is a ‘feetle’ - almost darent look it up 🤣

pretty much everyone I know is getting fingerless gloves off me - found some wonderful deals on the bay of eeeeeek!

Thanks Suze 😊 sorry I missed your post 

Are you sure it didn’t say Fettle??

FETTLE – clean, tidy. I've fettled my kitchen cupboards or I’ve given my kitchen a good fettle.

Ah Fettle! Yes that’s it thanks SYA - makes a lot more sense 🤣  I was imagining all sorts hahaha

Sqs and sya, how funny! These local words never die out do they,  I live in the black country and a similar word we have hear but with a different meaning: 
FITTLE: Food, as in " that was bostin' fittle ", meaning that was a great meal! Bostin' Fittle is also the name of a local restaurant locally.

Great news on the win!

Hi sya, great news on the win,  these little things do help cheer us up I think. I decided to go back in time on your journey as I discovered you have regularly documented the weather,  enabling us to see what the weather was like this time last year.  Also found this post which is 1 year ago , your "payday" at the end of November 23, to compare what things have gone up in price,  an important consideration when working with a fixed income.  Hope you don't mind me posting,  I thought it was interesting

@Tresinia511 perhaps you should start your own thread and share your own savings and spending journey. I am sure it would be most interesting. Best wishes.
