    Savings balance: £175.00

    Bank balance: £196.07 to cover £155.73, £10.95 and £6.07

    Purse balance: £30.44

    24 days til payday.

    Bank balance nearly caught up with actual balance. Just a couple of transactions to clear.

    OH owes me £17 for a purchase- he's poor this month so this can wait. He is still waiting to see if he's been approved for the same small card as me in order to establish his rating.

    I am waiting for my card and pin to arrive. Need to think of a workable system- one card for fuel, one for groceries, one for online purchases etc. I am waiting to hear from 2 other small cards so will decide my system when I know how many I have- OH could use his for his smokes, daily spends, lunches (I know) and any travel costs. If I only get one card, I'll do it all on that and clear in full each month.

    Today:

    1 load of laundry done and currently drying TAKEN IN AND PUT AWAY
    Washing up to be done by OH, me assisting with drying up and motivation! DONE
    Bathroom wipe down DONE
    Make sofa DONE
    Hoover housetomorrow
    Change bed tomorrow
    Tackle floordrobe DONE
    Build flatpack DONE
    Write shopping list for groceries for the week DONE
    Old clothes sorted out and gotten rid of DONE
    Wash towels and bath mat DONE
    1st Load of laundry from floordrobe DONE
    2nd load of laundry from floordrobe DONE
    3rd load of laundry from floordrobe DONE
    Put away OH clothes DONE
    Put away my clothes DONE
    Unpack shoes
    Move bookcase DONE
    Items away into top cupboard, need OH help DONE
    Change kitty litter DONE


    Im sure there's more, but that's a good start.

    Forgotten have to go to lunch with OH at family's. My list will have to wait until I return. Have washed work clothes and hung them on hangers- may be able to avoid ironing. Shopping may be able to wait until tomorrow too- will see. The only thing we urgently need is milk.

    Anyway:

    Savings balance: £175.00

    Bank balance: £196.07

    Purse balance: £30.44

    23 days til payday

    A later start to the day than normal for me. Managed to get OH out of bed too so the bed has been stripped, sheets currently washing then will be hung out on line to dry whilst we're at work. Efficient! Was meant to do yesterday but my list fell by the wayside and we were out for ages.

    Have lots of little jobs to do when I'm back from work. Most important is pick up the groceries on the way home. We are out of milk and cheese, running low on sugar and in need of some fresh bits.

    Bank balance: £172.97 (splashed out on a curry last night, enough for tonight too

    Savings balance: £175.00

    Purse balance: £30.44

    Tonight

    Make bed
    Put sheets away if dry
    Hoover house
    Put away dry laundry
    1 load of laundry- dressing gowns and leftover bits
    Put last few bits of stuff away in bedroom
    Unpack shoes
    Tighten bed with alan key
    Put new lightbulb in office
    After dinner clear kitchen- all washing up and putting away done
    Make lunch for tomorrow

    I'm sure there are more bits to add, will see how much energy I have. Expecting some packages today plus paperwork for OH's credit card if he's been accepted plus my actual card to come through. Still waiting for last 3 direct debits to leave my account.

    Just a quick post as I'm knackered and off to bed.

    Still got £175 in savings and £1.74 in bank. Purse balance is just a couple of quid- need to check.

    Made soup for dinner, had a roll with butter too. Have defrosted some meat for a stirfry tomorrow. Need to get veg- out of onions, beansprouts, peppers, celery etc as well as bits for work and some chickpeas.

    Have eaten too much bread today. Must resist!

    Proper post tomorrow
