    And my larger item has sold overnight 😊 I am pleased I held out a little bit. That’s £75 for the credit card.

    Declaring a no spend day now. We have a family feast planned for dinner tonight from our family treats pot. We are making a selection of Chinese dishes for the children to try for the first time and have even ordered chopsticks to elevate the experience 😂. We saved £50 for it, but even with extras, it was £32 - all M&S pre-prepared dishes. We have more than we need and may well save some for a second dinner. This is significantly cheaper than a takeaway for the five of us and we’re all looking forward to it.

    PBs £2050 (including £1k EF)
    17/26 books for 2026

    Take the time to find the joy in each day
