  • I’m loving your added pizazz to your posts @dizzycap with the fun images 🤩

    NSD number for me today, busy working. 

    I started a debt-free wannabe diary if anyone would like a read, maybe as a cure for insomnia in the small hours:

    Not a NSD for me today but I am super happy with that, for once. As I have bagged a second hand pressure cooker / multi cooker combo thingamy-jig, unused for £15. I am hoping it will help us with our food economy drive, in the long run. Happy dance. 😁
