Took my dad out for shopping this morning and he likes @ld! so I went in to get a couple of things (flowers and pet treats for friend I am visiting for lunch), I was congratulating myself on saving money on cat treats when I got sucked into the middle aisle😂 I now have a cc cream and an arty kit🙄 so money has been transferred over from personal spending account to cover it😂 I look forward to trying both out soon though…

I have reverted back to online after a little try of actually going into the shops as I was spending perhaps £30 less on food but then £40 on middle aisle stuff 😆MORTGAGE BALANCE when we moved Aug 2024, £120,000.
