Which platform are you using? Do you have any recommendations for things to look at?Love platform shoes! Love this thread!
I've set up an auto-invest instruction so that every month my savings are invested as soon as they're taken from my bank account. It feels so good to know the savings aren't just "sitting there" and motivates me to save even more!
Thank you, I’m doing better than I thought! Even your little messages make me feel betterOmg they are so so GORG !!
Well deserved, hope you're doing okay
It’s needed when you’re as short as meLove!!!The platform is ace as well, can't beat a good platform!
If it's still unopened and sealed, maybe you could donate them to food bank instead?Haha. I decided at the beginning of the week, no more chocolate or sweets. In my resolve I threw an unopened pack of those strawberry pencil things. The bin men haven't been and they're still in my kitchen bin. My head's going "put your gloves on, fish them out, they're wrapped, where's the harm, start again tomorrow". There's another voice saying "No! Remember why you put them there. Are you going to fall at the first hurdle? DO YOU WANT TO LOSE THAT STONE OR NOT?" Argggh
Thanks. They're out in the wheelie bin now.If it's still unopened and sealed, maybe you could donate them to food bank instead?
You can still have sweets and lose weight. Have a look at myfitnesspal you need more support.
I'm using Hargreaves Lansdown - they have a really good app and are pretty well regarded for investing. Full disclosure, I used to work for them so am slightly biased probably! But I've used Lightyear in the past and didn't stay with them for long.Which platform are you using? Do you have any recommendations for things to look at?

Go to Global Village in Dubai and if all you leave with is a fridge magnet, congratulations you are fully rehabilitated!!I wondered how this thread got up to 44 pages so quickly haha
In other news, I’ve already bought the one item on my 2024 list (a new phone after my old one crashed twice in the same week), so, that’s me and my splurging done for the year
We’re going on holiday to Dubai (shopping capital of the world) next month. I can’t think of anything that I particularly want other than a fridge magnet as a souvenir. Have I rehabilitated from a shopping addiction…?
I used to work for PizzaExpress and one of the things I'd never pay money for outside the home is Pizza. The markup is ridiculous, eg back in 2007 the PE Margarita was £4.99, the cost of the ingredients was 24p! OK there are other costs to running a restaurant but in general food cost would be somewhere between 24% and 30% of the menu price, the margarita was less than 5% food cost.It was my husband’s birthday yesterday and he wanted takeaway pizza as his treat Meal. It was nicer than dominoes (which we had far too often for years) but didn’t blow me away. And it left me hungry after! Can’t believe how much money we’ve spent on takeaway pizza over the years, it definitely isn’t worth it!
I may have to put my foot down now and say we only get takeaways for things we can’t recreate at home. Having said that I felt mean limiting what he had as he’d had a rubbish birthday with work and a sick child.
