    It is exactly that isn't it - the small things we do daily or weekly as habit, which are the foundations of Money Saving, but on repeat, feel as though they must be awfully tedious!

    I am NOT exploring any of these other word games - I frequently let Wordle take up way too much space rent free in my head, I do not need any more!

    Ha know the feeling @EssexHebridean

    Invigilating
    Usuals
    Two surveys
    Half wussy situps
    Entered some competitions, today I'm mostly looking forward to winning loads of money but I'd also like the £500 Boden voucher please, as I need to buy smart knee length shorts for work and I don't want to spend money on them 😂
    Got an email from Nationwide saying I'd be getting their £100 fair share payment, whoo!

    right so apparently I can now paste as a whole chunk but I still can't write something on the line immediately after without it double spacing. Sorry for busy text but I already spend too much of my time trying to sort out the formatting from this forum's godawful 'upgrade'. If anyone's looking for a web host, please please please don't use Vanilla
