Just popping in to say you’re doing brilliantly! Those figures are amazing. Great big pat on the back to you. 👏👏👏
The cabin in the woods sounds like a dream to me. I’m so pleased you booked it. blob:https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/2adb976c-b05d-4b24-ab32-7d077d18e96dYour neighbours are bloomin’ awful causing you such stress. It’s so unfair. No one who keeps ducks in their bath and invites chickens to share their life deserves that. I’d be so privileged to have you as my neighbour. You’d get fed up of me popping in to cuddle those duckies.
I’d love to have no neighbours and utter silence around me but we don’t always get what we want. Having said that it was very peaceful on the veg patch today. Just the sound of the garden fork and an exceptionally vocal Robin!4 -
That made me laugh @Slowdown ! The ducks do live outside permanently now, but they come into the house if the back door is open, they like checking out the living room and having a taste of the dogs' water bowl.
I've bought two bottles of prosecco in my monthly shop to take to the cabin (asking a mate to keep them for me so I don't get tempted to drink them) because my favourite was on offer, and I've decided I'll borrow a jigsaw puzzle to take with me.

My air fryer has died. Gutted. It has served me well.
I've found a similar model on eBay, ex display, and made an offer 🤞🏼 £15 cheaper than the next place.

Ahem, and your vinted listings young lady? 😂
Obvs it's completely up to you to judge if/when you have energy and time, but pleeease don't miss out on the start of autumn listings window if you have autumnal stuff to list, that's money you could have that isn't going to sell the rest of the year
Checked shirts, boots, anything in browns or greens or oranges, anything cosy are all selling so well now, and anything quirky or black in time for Halloween is ideal to list at the mo

It's on my to-do list Pip, I've got a little pile in the spare room, just been away house sitting. And working ridiculous hours.
I've also joined a Facebook page that sells 80s toys as I have more than a few in my attic.
Another bit of money transferred from the regular saver to the loan.

Oh dear. Sorry to hear about the struggles. ☹️
I see loads of egg cups in the charity shops. Maybe a replacement could be found easily?
Hope you feel better soon. 🥴🔜😃3
