Community fridge sounds awesome!
I am loving Olio lately, although it's limited where I live. It's nice to get some free surprise foods sometimes and find ways to incorporate them into your meals.Debts 04/01/25 01/09/26

Thank youSun_Addict said:Well done on the weight loss and winning the prize 🥳 You’re doing amazing!
I'm actually starting to think I might finally be able to do this 🤞
It's brilliant, and very similar to Olio in that they collect surplus from supermarkets and people can also donate surplus food as well e.g. home grown veg etc. Olio here seems to be mostly bread, but I do have a look now and again. I'll aim to use it more often now I know where it is.rachmac3 said:Community fridge sounds awesome!

It's nice to have a day off on a Monday! Back to work tomorrow but only a 3 day week and I'm off next week.
Kids want to go swimming today so I've booked that in and can use that as today's exercise. DH is working so hopefully when we get back I can get on with some stuff around the house.
I caught up with surveys yesterday, but mostly screened out due to leaving them so long."Good financial planning is about not spending money on things that add no value to your life in order to have more money for the things that do". Eoin McGee8 -

Nice PAD today just because I wanted to round down an account
Back to work today
It's joyous to find my calendar suddenly full of meetings, including in times I had tried to block out. Only 3 days though and I'm on leave for the week, hurrah!
