  • Sorry to hear about Mr C Snr, I hope he is now on a ward and receiving treatment.

    I hope the worrying about Mr C Snr has not set back your and Mr C's recuperation.

    Great to see everything written down like that, Cheery, and must be really useful for you. I always find looking at annual figures is very motivating. You have inspired me to take a look at my own annual figures and my s/s and see what I can do with them 😁
    Live the good life where you have been planted.
