"Found 7p???" Yep, things are defo looking up, as this is 6p more than your usual monetary find!
2026's challenges: 1) To rebuild our Emergency Fund to at least £5k.
2) To read 50 books (12/50) 3) The Re-Shrinking of Foxgloves 8.1kg/30kg
Remember....if you have to put it on a credit card, extend your overdraft or take out a loan to buy whatever it is, you probably can't afford it, as that's not your money, it's somebody else's!2 -
what a glorious skyline PIP - how kind of you to share the view of the other side of the river.

Most welcome @Blackcats, your Sarf Crystal Palace landmark is to the left of BT Tower past next big building, in yonder distance (as we look at pic)

What a beautiful view! I'm always amazed at the lovely open spaces in London. I can't imagine living in a big city, until 5 years ago I'd only known life in a rural market town. Then we made the move to a small town on the coast of Wales.
Shopping for food involves a 20 mile round trip. Shopping for anything else involves a much longer journey. The bonus is that there's less temptation to spend!
