Congratulations! 🙌🎉What an inspiration & achievement, as it's by no means easy to tackle or break spending habits and you've got savings to boot! 🤑.
Declaring a very early 11/20 NSD Saturday - Not expecting to be spending over the weekend 🤗, but will need a stock up essential shop sometime next week.

So do I and you could just squeeze one large Freddy in a sixpence large bag of 10 for a penny sweets from the sweet shop 🤗. It now costs £1.80+ for a quarter of 'old fashioned' now known as 'retro' large glass jar sweets 🙄 and not a penny sweet in sight 😯.

the Freddy was likely bigger and made with better chocolate as well - sadly there will be a point in the future when we will reminisce about coins and money notes
