  • Another busy day for you there PP.
    one of my jobs is to sweep the leaves up from the front of the house, but I just never seem to get to it before it gets dark.

    You must have inspired me... I did this the other day between work and pickin Pickle up, it looks so much neater now, love it.

    Hi PP, have been reading your diary this week and just got to the end. Have really enjoyed it and will be catching up more regularly. Your YS buys are impressive!

    Good luck with your January mortgage goal, am sure you will smash it.

    sneaking guiltily into my neglected diary:o

    I'm having a ludicrously busy time at the moment both at home and at work and I'm just about knackered :eek: The next two weeks are nuts but then it should be at least back to normal hours.
    I had a weekend away with friends which was great but it did cost a bit. I took the hotel cost out of my holidays pot but food a drink came to around £30. I also bought some boots which were a want not a need (they were a cs bargain but still £20 :(). My personal spends are going to be over but there's some slack in fuel and grocery so hopefully it'll even out.
    £6.85 spend today on coffee, milk, juice and some ys sausages, veg and fruit but that should be it until Thursday. Just as well as its 6 days until pay day and its so tight i dare not even Tilly tidy just in case:eek:
    In other areas things could be better but they could be worse;

    House is tidy and reasonably clean

    Laundry is up to date but lots still drying

    No classes last week but managed three runs and did spin tonight

    Still using up which is clearing space and keeping grocery spend down. I did succumb to a 6 bottle wine offer though :o

    Posting has been very lax. Must get back to daily.

    Getting to bed too late so going now!

    PP xx
