    I do like baking, @WelshmansDaughter - I think one can bake in an air fryer but I don't imagine it could handle a Christmas cake, could it? I did have a quick look at air fryers, though, as it would free quite a bit of space and we could definitely use as much of that as we can get.

    This morning I was on a couple of teams at church and for some reason, for the second day on the go, I wasn't in zombie mode. I wasn't particularly lively, either, but it was a definite improvement on normal. I was up in good time to allow us to apply lots of sun cream and walk there, which was nice (and MS).

    DH got home ahead of me but as I was clearing up, there wasn't really time for a cooked meal at lunch time. DH and DS1 were celebrating Fathers' Day with a bike ride at 2 and they were out for a while. Meanwhile I made a start on cutting the grass, continuing later with trimming some overgrown hedge plants and repotting my orange tree. DH made a start on repainting the bench, and I helped with that, too. By tea time it was getting cloudy and I thought I heard thunder but we've had no rain. It's been a really pleasant temperature, though not the forecast heatwave (yet).

    We had more of the chickpea tikka for dinner, and we've finally applied for a cheaper tariff for DH's phone. He was paying £26+ a month and will now get more data but will pay under £3 (I forget exactly how much). I thought the deal I signed up for was great but this, with the same company, is even better and I can't change to the lowest prices as they are for new customers only. However, it's only a matter of pence and the savings over a year for the two of us will be in the hundreds. Yes, we allowed automatic increases to creep up on us.

    I also went to synch my F1tbit with the app, only to find the app doesn't exist any more and it's now part of Google. Did anyone tell me? If they did, I missed it entirely. I noticed the new app gives my email to people I've got on there as friends, but none of them is a close friend, so I've removed them all. Possibly overkill, but I was rather taken aback that all the F1tbit stuff has been carried across without my knowing.

    I think a bit of sunshine is good for frugal living. (Cranky40)
