Happy New Year!
Thank you to everyone who popped by and sent New Year wishes. We are a bit behind with ours because we've only just had our Christmas 😂
The Younger Fortunates did make it to us at the weekend and our belated Christmas turned out to be a white one ⛄ We have had a lovely time with them and Littlest Fortunate is well and happy again. Tiny Fortunate also visited the house for the first time as 'baby on board'.
So we can now turn our minds to 2026. Bully builder is still taking up a lot of head space and, until that's sorted, it's going to be tricky making any financial plans. I think I might just concentrate on some small goals for the moment and revisit as things progress.
This week I have some urgent admin to catch up on and will need to make a meal plan to use up the last of the Christmas food... and a gym plan to burn it all off 😂 I haven't stepped on the scales yet... I haven't dared to 😲 Plus the Christmas decorations need to come down 🎄
Happy New Year everyone and I hope 2026 has got off to a great start for you.

Wonderful news @Fortune_Smiles. I'm sure Bully Builder is taking up head space; however, if he wasn't such a patent swine, I'd almost feel sorry for him. He plainly hasn't realised that you are the channel the Gods have selected for his well deserved comeuppance! Keep us posted and happy new year love Humdinger xx3
