    We recently bought a new mattress from Dusk. It had a similar spec to the Simba we had before, and it’s won a Which? Best Buy award but was a fraction of the cost. Maybe worth a look.

    Great work on that EF!

    Hope everyone has had a good weekend, ours has been a more chilled one. I spent yesterday sorting out my clothes on to hangers and now feel a lot better for it, as they were just not scattered all over before. The plan is to then sort through them and see what still fits and donate anything that doesn't.

    Some of our spare funds have been used to purchase birthday gifts for family that occur in June, so good to get those accounted for early. We have also seen a lovely dining table that we like so we will start looking to save towards getting funds together for it. There is also a drama show with little one at end of month which we have purchased tickets for.

    We have finally all acclimatised back to the good old English weather and none of us are missing sunny Spain at all…….🤣.
