Enjoy your day off

Thanks monz

Spends for yesterday
- £8.99 present for friends wee boy
- £15.21 food
- £15 kettle
- £0.75 pegs

The money for kettle has been taken from the emergency fund, well I guess that's what it's there for. Tea out has been postponed to Wednesday as one of the girls wasn't feeling well.

Today I've been to my friends wee boys birthday party followed by a late shift at work. Spent £3.65 on something for tea as I wasn't organised before I left the flat.

Monday and yesterday were NSDs . Today won't be as I've got the rescheduled meal with friends. One of the girls has got a voucher for the place we're going - BOGOF on main meals so should be a fairly cheap evening out. I also need to buy more lip balm. I bought one last time I was in the supermarket for £1 but I feel it actually makes my lips drier so I'll go back to my usual one.

Last day at work before a week off, just counting down the hours. Will definitely be having a glass of vino with tea to celebrate freedom . I feel I really need a break, just to recharge my batteries Ran into a friend on the way home from work yesterday and they commented how tired I looked.

Payslip came through yesterday for main job so I'll work on a budget tomorrow. Electricity bill is due, I've currently got £102 saved towards it so will obviously have to put some of my pay towards it. I'm also going to pay off the remaining original debt :T and hopefully make a decent payment towards the other card. If possible, I also would like to put some money aside for new clothes. I still haven't bought new work trainers, a few pairs of jeans are wearing thin and will need replacing, I need socks and leggings and I could do with some more summer things.

Hope everyone has a good day

I got great work trainers from amazon £16.99 so comfortable as well if you want link xx

Yes please monz. Recently if I've been on a long shift, I've worn my running trainers which are comfy but would be better to have a separate pair just for work.

i'm with alemrst but get those trainers. BTW, don't the honest comments from friends make you feel so much better NOT!

:rotfl: much as I love my friends, don't always love their honesty .

So tea and drinks out last night cost £20. I also spent £1.89 on lip balm.

That's me now off on holiday for a week . I have today at home then I'm heading down the road for the rest of the week. Plan for today is to tidy the flat, pick up a prescription, do a wee shop to keep OH going while I'm away and do some gardening. It's a beautiful day so will sit out in the garden to enjoy it.
