    Wordle in 3 for me today, only feeling a little bit smug as it was a 50:50 on 2, which I would have been very smug about 😁

    Could you tell us more about the A's app please? I looked but couldn't see anything about earning money back..

    Trickle vents are a different thig Redo - we have them on some windows and not on others - but this specific adjustment thing is to do with the actual closing mechanism - the little pins that move up and down to secure UPVC windows into the frame.

    I bought some of the sealing strip from the Must Have Ideas people and we've found that decent for draught excluding on the front door too - must get round to using it on the shower screen as well, which was the other plan for it!

    ooo - thanks for the info about the locking mechanism - I'll have a watch and see if ours have this feature.  I do know that some of our have adjustable vents but I've always thought the extra breeze in the winter was because the seal around the actual windows was perishing!  Fingers crossed this solves the issue on our two north facing windows!

    No seriously, just don’t buy things. 99% of our success with our savings rate is attributed to the fact that we don’t buy things... You can and should take advantage of discounts.... But at the end of the day, the only way to truly save money is to not buy stuff.    Money doesn’t walk out of your wallet on its own accord.

    Get you getting organised with the ferry bookings! More than a little jealous. However it looks as though we may have a house by May, t'other side of the country but it's time for a change. And then we can get back to wandering once we're secure.

    Cutting that corner to Armadale, although it ends up taking almost as long as if you'd driven with check ins etc, makes it feels a whole lot less of a slog to Uig. Can't believe I may actually own part of a house soon, and so never have to move again, genuinely thought we might end up having to live in the van only a few months ago.
