    I agree about unsubscribing, it's so much nicer not having an inbox full of emails!  If you want something, then you can often find discount codes online.  Start with the ones you know you don't want as they are just unnecessary noise.

    Sounds like YNAB is working well though :)

    Glad you are gettiing on with YNAB. I never mastered the art but think the starting from a minus position didn't help! 😂 Now I'm at the point of "if it's not free then I'm not using it".

    Puppy's are such hard work but they are worth the effort.  I can't believe our girl will be four next month! She doesn't listen to me except when I tell her to "shift" usually from the sofa or under the hob when I am cooking! 

    Delete all the noisy emails.  I use Yahoo mail and they recently brought in a new unsubscribe tool that I took full advantage of.  They then changed the layout again and I can't find said button but it did clear a lot of uncessary evils out at the time.

    Adding to what people are saying about unsubscribing. Google just brought in the same unsubscribe tool @Naomim mentioned Yahoo have, so for most of them it is very easy now. One or two it tells you you need to do manually.

    I can’t see a bulk unsubscribe on mine, but have been doing it for the rubbish ones individually as they come in.
    i won £50 on the premium bonds, so that was good, as I’d taken out a lot to cover the garage roof and doors. I had a few dry months, so I’m glad something has happened. They are set to reinvest. 
    MrWW is on days so woke the WWpup up getting ready. He took her out in the garden and then she came back to bed and bit me until I was wide awake from defending myself. It’s no joke having jaws as big as your head biting the back of your head. She doesn’t bite to eat me, but there’s enough pressure for me to have nice yellow bruises down my arms. Anyway I put the lamp on and avoided her until she calmed down (she refuses to understand no when she’s giddy) and then she fell asleep and I was wide awake and now it’s time to get up for work…yawn. I’m not really sure what the answer is. Time out is the best way to deal during the day, but her time out space is the bedroom, so it doesn’t work for the 5am wrestling championships 🙄 
    I hope you all have a fabulous day 🌟

    Hello, I am definitely going to try harder with unsubscribing too. If you just type 'unsubscribe' into the search box you'll find loads of them. Whatever I do never seems to make a dent! 🥴
