    £78.99 via the Plum virtual pot, and the purse clear-out just now was £8.81.  

    We passed our interview with Guide Dogs yesterday, so we now move on to training which we should hear about in the next 6 weeks or so.  We also get a day's Volunteer Leave at work so the training day would count towards that.  It's very interesting, and there are some obvious and not-so-obvious do's and don'ts, and we've got to tweak the kitchen a bit to make designated space but can do that once we know something is happening.

    That's great news @MrsShazbat 😀 

    All quiet here this week, I feel that the world is just waiting for January to end 🙃 DH has had a nasty head cold and I've had a cough so we've pretty much stayed put. Added some change to my usual five pounds. Enjoy your weekend 😘

    Payday has happened, so a scoop of £40 which was unspent from last month's budget.  Duly potted. :blush:
