Morning!
Havent posted for a few days
Money is going well - got £200 in a side account for later in the month, sorted the overdraft so thats now at £150 (not in it yet either
)
Running going okay - had to drop out of a race on Sunday due to a bad chest, but managed most of my interval session this morning so am getting better already. Hoping for a good week running wise as last week was just over 26 miles so am very well rested 0 -
So its the start of another week - got my Americans here from Saturday and thank goodness Tuesday is payday
Got £30 to last till then but I have no food in at the moment (although lunches are bought), had a nice store cupboard dinner of brown rice topped with sardines in tomato and chilli sauce last night - it was yummy! Chowed down while I was watching the athletics
Running this morning went well - have my first half marathon since April on Sunday so am feeling a little nervous but its a lap course so if I start to struggle OH wont be very far away at all times (except when hes lapping me
)...
Happy money saving!0 -
Havent posted for a while as have been mega busy - all good stuff though
Got 326.85 left on the loan now and £100 overdraft thats interest free so I will leave it for a little while (paid off £50 yesterday!)...
Bought my autumn wardrobe refresh for £50 (which is £100 less than I budgeted) for which I got:
Jeans
Dress
Shirt
Skirt
Now I just need some nice tights - got them last time from tightsplease and they were lovely and £5 a pair - I know you can get cheaper ones from Primani but they dont last as long
Running going well - got a few of us meeting at pakrrun this Sat for the 5k race so that should be fun 0 -
Well done on the clothes shopping - that's really good!
