Pretty good weekend. Did some paid work, took a dear friend out to dinner which was great, did yoga and a 8 mile run
(go me!) and now just chilling as my amazing OH finishes batch cooking and a huge load of curries for dinner this eve - yum yum-
Back to work with a fairly brutal week this week. But forewarned and all that. Meal planning sorted and nice small perfectly formed budget on its way for Feb!! Have to see how it goes. Oh and 55 items to the clothes bank too.yay!! They are finally gone from the boot of my car
Hope everyone is well and has had a good weekend. Have a good week too

hello folks...just coming up for air...yes of course NOA...why don't you?? :rotfl: Yes, SSG felt like serious decluttering tbh and the run cleared the cobwebs.
OH is up to his ears and then some, also doing another application for another role which is probably a more exciting opportunity but also drowning in work. Rather stressed out bunny this evening especially as DD1 forgot to put the oven on and the microwave is broken (as of two hours ago) so the jacket potatoes have another hour (?) to cook. I have resisted takeaway..very MSE
Did exercise 3 times in a row - Saturday - Monday but no chance for this evening or yesterday. But still..not bad.
Working means that I have little time to spend moneyNO bad thing. But some spendy school trips coming up, including the DoE Gold for said DD1. £500. Wow. Didn't realise that but a once in a lifetime I guess. I have also sorted some of my business development 'to do' list although a few bits to go, and have some interest. I am also getting a long overdue invoice paid so thats handy as the VAT is due.
Hope everyone is OK - sorry for the radio silence/ad hoc postings!!.

Good to see you.
EEEk to the 500 quid for the trip.
These trips are getting out of hand.
One of my friends DD is going on some world challange thing next year at the cost of 4k plus. For a young person.

Thanks Lou. Yes I know and I didn!!!8217;t realise how much it would be when when started. She!!!8217;s done over year of volunteering etc and this would be another element. But how will some people manage it? Need to start paying this month so the small and perfectly formed budget will need to be stretched a little.
Payout from TCB requested. Must look again into whether I can buy a weekly travel pass via TCB. Not always worth it, but could be. Have updated my signature. Shiny new goals
Yesterday was a NSD. Every little helps
Have a good Thursday all
