    Hey it's weekend again. Out with friends last night for a curry, I took £20 the rest of my spends for the monthn and it cost me £17.60 the change paid the window cleaner . Grandson and I went trampolining today £5 including a sandwich and drink for him. I had nothing as no cash with me and they didn't accept cards under a fiver .

    Tomorrow I am off to stay with a friend in my favourite place Cumbria. Will cost me for petrol and lunch on Sunday we are going to a carvery.

    Will need my wet weather stuff definitely,

    I think days out and trips that you have saved and paid for yourself are deserved and needed! We work so hard watching every penny, we need something to enjoy!

    I hope you have had a good weekend!

    Nothing much changed in 2 days since last post . 2 NSD , have a freezer full of food so meal plan this week created around that.

    All pots of money as they should be EF up to £151 now so growing slowly and steadily.

    Have achieved a work goal this week, I will only be working 4 days a week from April , doing 36 hours in 4 days instead . This is to help out with childcare for my grandchildren, look forward to it . I have been doing these hours unofficially for a while to trial the idea. This Friday will be my last yippee .

    My survey earnings are coming along very well. I hope to be able to use them towards Christmas presents. It takes time but I do them when I am having so me time.

    Won't make me a fortune but every penny helps.

    Today I had a work colleague ask me for help about money issues . I thought she was going to ask to borrow money , but in fact she told me in confidence that she was in some 16k of debt and needed to tell someone and she chose me.
    Why she thought I could help I have no idea, anyway help I did as best I could, directed her to step change website , and MSE of course. Tomorrow lunch we are doing an SOA!

    Never did I think I would be able to help anyone.

    It's my last time of working Friday tomorrow, can't wait to be on 4 days.

    Spent 75p on toast at work .
