    Hi @I_Love_comps I hope that you do not mind me joining in.

    I too am in my 60's. My DH works part-time, I am retired and we both receive a work pension. We are making the most of what we have until we reach SP age.

    With careful planning, organisation and research it is amazing what can be achieved with what some would consider to be a moderate amount. Best of all are the things that cost nothing, yet surround us every day. By embracing these 'simple pleasures', it is my view, that our lives are all the better for them.

    Thanks for taking the time to post and share with others.

    Love that we can once again get the washing dried outside. Great that you have some extra shifts. Enjoy your tea x
