    Can I go for 20 in June again please CB? Thanks so much. 

    An early call for a NSD today. I spent yesterday because my husband asked me to grab him some bits from B&M.

    My spring clean is now finished and I'm very happy 😊 and yesterday I planned out our budgets for June.

    Kids made a huge 145 pounds selling off old toys so their new water bottles are on the way. I still feel a bit dizzy at the price of them but I'm proud they've raised the money themselves.

    @laurenh wow, that's impressive your kids sold off their old toys, I'd be proud of them too!
