    One for today. we have a wedding next week and my dog has been invited (it is outside) my wonderful friend is making him a bow tie as a thank you for me having her 2 kiddos this weekend, so chuffed with that, as I would have bought one and I love anything homemade.

    I also added £40 to my savings pot, I may have said that I am attempting to save up for a night away with cashback and things like that- I have £290 in cash so far and £113 in cashback on my banking app. Very pleased with that. Moved one of my savings pots to a different account as the interest rates were better. I don't have enough saved for it to be a fortune, but I will get £5 a month where before I was getting nothing and it all helps!
