    Nice PAD total for the month! I had a bit of cashback to add to today's payment.

    Back to work today, but at least it's just today and tomorrow. My desk is in the hottest part of the house so I'll have to see. I've got a fan though. It's not meant to be quite as hot as yesterday thankfully.

    Morning @jwil, well done on a successful car boot sale. I hope that you enjoyed your ice lollies in the sunshine. I was pleased to pick up a couple of punnets of strawberries from S@insbury's for just £1 each, which we had with ice cream.
