I was planning on a nice evening of comping while I watch the footie but at the speed the sites running at tonight I'll only be able to enter about 4 comps before the footies over

Been to the dentist, wasn't too painful this time, she's prepped a crown, have to go back in a fortnight to have it fitted.

I bought myself a cropped pair of black trousers in Asda, mainly because they were a 12 and they fitted :j but also they were only £8

Tonight is budget sorting night as tomorrow is payday ... may be gone a while :rotfl:

Well done getting into those 12s :j And good luck with the budgeting!

Figures worked out as far as poss, and as long as I haven't forgotten to account for something then I have £35 to last until the end of the month (monday). This should be fine as (a) I get paid tomorrow anyway but would rather not dip into that yet as it will just make next month even harder and (b) ds is at his dads from tomorrow night until sunday so I shouldn't spend too much anyway. I will need to go food shopping but that will come out of Junes food budget

Wages have gone in and some been moved across, has finally got rid of August 2021 and July as well and am just into June, so 11 yrs left on the mortgage if I don't make any more overpayments :T

Half-term is finally here, ds has gone off to his dads and I have the weekend to myself My plan is to get all my car boot stuff sorted out tomorrow and see how much of it I can shift on sunday, hopefully making a few pennies in the process

I also need to carefully log this months budget and I really must log what I spend this time, I know I keep saying it but I really really must do it

£2.10 spends today on lunch, cupboards were pretty bare at home so had to be done. Really looking forward to a nice week off work :j :j :j

A £3 BIN on ebay has just sold

Morning all, today I have a list of jobs to do and I will be chuffed if I can get them all done;

• post ebay parcel
• pay in cheques
• gut the garage
• 5 mile walk
• collect hanging rial from mums for car boot tomorrow
• relaxing bath
• 50 x comps
• move money between banks ready for new month
• matched bet

The parcel is all ready to go, I've mapped out a new walk (along the beach ), so am about to go out and do the parcel, cheques and the walk. I'll tackle the garage when I get back. I am hoping to do a car boot tomorrow, the forecast looks okay at the moment but its raining today so maybe it will be a case of sorting everything out, boxing it all up ready and at least then its ready to go whenever I get a free sunday.

Weigh in today too and I stayed the same this week, but am still chuffed about getting into a size 12

Okay slight change of plan ... I've posted the parcel and paid in the cheques, I went for my walk but took a shorter route as the rain came and the wind was howling in off the sea and I'd forgotten how hard it is to walk on sand but I've still done 7000 steps so far today (approx 3.5 miles). I'm also now not sure about the garage/ car boot sale plans as I don't fancy getting soaked sorting the stuff out and if this rain carries on (which it looks set to) then the field tomorrow will be muddy and horrible Hmm, well I'm going to crack on with clearing my inbox of surveys and entering a few comps for now and will see how the weather goes over the next hour or two
