Didn't quite make it this time, but I'm not surprised, I had a 10 day holiday and I'm buying stuff to finish converting the camper and booking things for an epic road trip in October

@ThriftyPrincess40 and @InDebtEnby we all have months like that, it's how it is, onwards & upwards in September. @ThriftyPrincess40 hope the moving cost/disruption settles down soon & that the car doesn't turn out to be costly. Always a pain with cars when they do that 😐️ xx
