Had a go at designing a new header logo for twitter! Hoping this will lead onto designing the new blog! Let me know what you think!

Got my free (£1 postage) @smolproducts trial packs delivered today in the post - very excited to give them a go! Especially as it’s so hard to find good septic tank-friendly dishwasher tablets! Thanks Smol! Fingers crossed 🤞 .

We got the #catnip out last night and got the ‘playmat’ out for the kitties and they ruddy loved it!!! Those are some doped up kitties right there! Look at Minksy’s stoner face 🤣🤣 - I should also add Minsky isn’t a big floofball right now as we shave… https://t.co/fz2TVl8KGA

@AldiUK I’d totally buy a box like this from @AldiUK cause ya know - Lidl is too far for me to travel to!!! 😁

[Natalya 🐱 @Cottage_R]

I hope this is in my local @AldiUK 🤗🤗

A fruitful idea for cutting food waste: we're trialling new 5kg boxes of fruit and veg that is slightly damaged, but still perfectly good to eat, for just £1.50.

It's being piloted in 122 of our stores, so if you come across any, let us know what you think.

@DebtCamel Numbers are 80.96 actual hence 404!

[Natalya 🐱 @Cottage_R]

Has anyone else received a prepaid card from QuickQuid for an upheld irresponsible lending claim? @DebtCamel we got one today but last time we chased was before Christmas! Was only for £20 though! 🤔

[Natalya 🐱 @Cottage_R]

@DebtCamel So quick calculation is £80 is 8% and for a loan from 2012 it should be £404? Does that sound right?

[Natalya 🐱 @Cottage_R]

@DebtCamel Ah! Ok! Will do the maths and drop them a line - the value is 8% of the refund amount? ☺️

[Natalya 🐱 @Cottage_R]

@DebtCamel We’ve half solved the mystery! Seems someone has told them to include the 8% after all!

[Natalya 🐱 @Cottage_R]

@DebtCamel Yep that’s what ours must be! ‘It is expected to include an additional 8% interest...in this regard please find the prepaid card’ (not exact quote from letter)

[Natalya 🐱 @Cottage_R]

I’ve always wanted to open a #zerowaste emporium and have been inspired by others but is this something people would want in #Northamptonshire? ☺️

[Natalya 🐱 @Cottage_R]

@DebtCamel This was last November!!

[Natalya 🐱 @Cottage_R]

@DebtCamel Yes! They waived a remaining balance of £800 and refunded £1000?!

Me flirting: “So, what’s your favourite unsolved murder case and your preferred ghost hunting team?”

[Natalya 🐱 @Cottage_R]

@TriciaGroom That’s amazing!!! Ours definitely aren’t as plentiful as that!

So lovely #frugal family - I’ve decided to take next week off work for a #selfcare #holiday week and I was wondering how to fill my time cheaply but also doing things that are fulfilling! Any ideas? #mindfullness
