PiP & L these responses made me literally snort with laughter! I wish it was possible to get slugs spayed though - that would solve MANY problems! 😂
Middle of the week and nothing much occurring here. Still waiting on the refund on MrEH's coat but he has at least finally done the return so it should at last be on its way. CC is going to be a few pence out - it will be a small shopping purchase I've forgotten to transfer over (not included in the main transfer at some stage) but I'll balance it up from my account because frankly it's too little to faff about with!
S&S ISA is bouncing around all over the place, but is generally heading the right way again - it was showing 5.XX% growth last week and is at least back into the 6's now!
MrEH tells me he will be feeding his Oyster tomorrow - but that should then see him through to the end of the month assuming he doesn't have any unexpected additional office days.
Notifications from a few financial providers of rates increasing - fair play to At0m for passing on the interest rate rise in full. Other than that there isn't a lot to sing about - would be nice to think M@rcus might do the same but they seem to be all quiet on that front right now. Nothing looking likely to tempt me into any more regular savers at the moment either.
Food is under control - used up some lingering veg with the couscous last night so nothing in there staring at me now which is always refreshing. Does mean that this week's shop will need to be fairly veg-heavy though as all the garden can offer currently is some chard or perpetual spinach. There is still one Tromboncino though which I will probably make a start on using. that said if it appears to be keeping well we may as well make use of some of what is in the freezer first.
we are very much enjoying jut being back on the standard electricity tariff - as much as I love Agile it definitely is nice to just be able to go ahead and start cooking tea before 7pm if I want to. I've also noticed a slight drop back in the fix prices so will need to keep an eye and work out at what stage we might want to think about changing fix for the gas - it needs to be around 1p a unit less than our new rate will be at the end of the month to cover the exit fee though, and whether it will drop back that far remains to be seen.

Spayed slugs would solve a lot of problems! (But probably create more…)
I, too, was very impressed with At0m and St4rling for quickly passing on the rate changes.

EH I saw on foxgloves' diary that you were thinking of making some crochet Christmas decorations which inspired me and I found some great tutorials on attic 24. I'm going to try a snowflake tonight but I'm very tempted by the garland.
