Perhaps they will think you are bohemian and interesting SC 😆

I completely understand new girly. Now we're back in our forever home, we've finally spent some money on home improvements and it feels amazing, to have somewhere nice to relax and imagining how beautiful the garden will be when its finished. Although saving is important, living in a nice space is also important for well being x

Hi Bargainhunter thanks for popping by and congratulations on getting your forever home how you want it 😊 

Just had a count up of cash in my purse and petty cash tin (yes I have a petty cash tin just for personal use, it would be a vintage till if I had my way 😆) and I have £400 😱 partly leftover birthday money, about £30 in £2 coins and the rest leftover personal spending money from personal spends from the good old days when we used cash. Not that it can be spent now of course, but it’s handy to know. 

In bed now with a cuppa about to do a little online shopping 😁

Have fun shopping NG!

Thanks Jessy. I ended up ordering a memory foam mattress topper from amaz@n.I was all set to start getting my posh sheets and then thought i might start with the basics first. Our antique Victorian bed has a very old mattress (at least 30years it was my parents first!) and it’s got springs that like to poke you 😆 I bought a thick quilted one a few months ago which has helped but it’s not enough. I did consider a new mattress but that was a bit daunting and not great timing anyway. So £49 spent instead, sheets will come another time. 

Juts about to order a couple of bits of crockery, if I can ever decide which pieces to go for 😬

Slow day today, £5 op made to the home mortgage from personal spends and £63 spent on crockery also from personal spends, I’ve had an idea of what I would like to collect but there were a few lovey Xmas bits very reduced that I loved so I started there! 

Incredibly lazy day today watching gangs of London and eating biscuits, hopefully tomorrow will be more productive 🙄

Good luck with the to do list, NG. I'm finding getting the motivation to do things quite difficult at the moment!

I'm pleased to say I've done 10k+ steps for 10 days now... all the result of standing on the scales and not liking what I saw (too much early lockdown chocolate!).

I think I need to make some tea loaf.... good call
