nothing like a challenge and a deadline first thing in the morning to get you moving
Good saving though, will you spend it on something more exciting or is it going into the pot?

Its not exactly saved. Just not spent, which having seen my bank balance this morning is perhaps just as well. I have a smidgen over £20 to last until next Fridays payday which means I have just aobut enough to cover horse riding and milk but not a lot else. Thinking frugal thoughts. Don't want to see the toal debt top 20K but its perilously close and this months credit card bill is going to be somewhere close to 2K having slapped the deposit for the car and car insurance on it. Fairly sure this is going to send us teetering over the brink. Mentally theres a gaping chasm between being over and under 20K although a quid either way really doesn't make a huge amount of difference, mentally its a whole different ball game.
Should be at puppy school but am still feeling lethargic - thats grown up speak for having a head full of snot. Tempted to go for a wlak in the park having taken a ton of paracetamol in the hopes of shifting the woolly headed feeling. Also need to bung yesterdays washing back out in the hopes of it drying today.Saving for a Spinning Wheel and other random splurges : £183.500 -
