Life is unkind, at the best of times

However if you watched this video without ever having heard of [...]

Down the side of the sofa

Since it’s been a year since I started my change box, I decided I’d empty it out, count it, bank it and start again.
So after some fun counting, and even more fun organizing, I discovered I have £45 in spare change.
That’ll pay for a nice meal over the summer
