I spent far too much on meals on sunday, I was feeling a bit tired after all that decorating and so ate rubbish, which added up. Well I suppose you have to be naughty sometimes.

Well I managed to get some ironing done tonight, made my tea and made my lunch for tommorow.
Really tired after all that decorating at the weekend.
Well I have survived my second tough month. Pay day tommorow and my mortgage finally comes off the fixed rate on the 1st of sept, so monthly payments come down alot. Need to use some of that spare money to get cracking on the matched betting again.
I have done my budget for the month. Tommorow night I need to sit down and do the months meal plan.
Bye for now
