Haven't posted for ages so just posting to try & get back in the habit!

So this week -

Had an interview. Heard from agency about potential work starting shortly. Heard from another agency about an assesment day for a job starting in June. Someone also mentioned a job to me yesterday but not keen for personal reasons.

Rounded down wages & put that into change jar along with some other loose change.

Sent off bill for phone cashback.

SB, GH, GHClub & new fave app (trailers) & imutual.

Hey

Today I have paid £22 off Very BNPL.

My goal for May is to pay the rest of the items with the same payment date which should be very achievable (109£).

Hello

Last week was unusually spendy as OH had few days off work to spend some time with me before I start new job.

Had a couple of meals out (1 tastecard & 1 local special offer).

Friday, Sat, Sun - work for me.

Thur & Fri - new job induction.

Meals from home over the weekend, but yesterday picked up sub (large 1 half each for lunch (today).

On that note spent £6 on lunch @ induction. Luckily everyone else has mentioned they are likely to bring food in once started properly.

Yesterday I made pasta with spicy chicken with sauce from jar. Also managed to make pud from what we had in (expected not to be able to without eggs).

Cap 1 payment & orange come out today (covered).

OH cancelled old contract yesterday (earliest he could do it).

I have joined the make £10 a day thread & am posting about net bits & pieces on there.

Need a couple of things this week - work trousers & shoes, conditioner, card and bday present (nephew - 5:eek:). Will also need some food lol!

Updated address on Very as account is active & had previous on.

£1.24 in change to go into xmas jar.

Hey

Hmm.

Yesterday - bought shoes (£3) from Pri & trousers from Mr A (£6) - more importantly from petite section & don't drag on floor!!

I spent £12 ish in Mr A on food and OH went to Mr S for some other stuff £16 ish.

We went for a walk about 30 mins but was a lovely day and checked out another place on way back.

£20 spend on fuel (for OH work etc). Small parking charge.

Fish (from freezer), peas (from cupboard) and potatoes for tea. With parsley sauce at least 6 months "out of date". Followed by pud made day before.

Hey

Erm...

Yesterday - Work, lunch from home, pasta with sausage & sauce for t which was nice, quick & easy (& cheap!). Portion left over plus some pasta sauce LO. OH went shopping for some ingredients for cooking/stuff we had run out of like teabags

Monday - 2 loads of washing airdryed. Jackets with chilli from freezer for tea & other meals from home.

Sun - Work. OH pub. Random food from home for OH for tea & lovely omelette for brekkie (using same pork & fresh bread (for toast) from day before). I had ham sarnies for work & OH toom what was left for sarnies next day.

Sat - Visited OH daughter. Gave some money for bday. Did not spend much during day, card, fuel, snacks, some bread & pasta for lunch (much cheaper & better for us then McDs etc). OH went out for a while. Went to shop later & had 2 drinks together. OH made sarnies with chicken breast, pork loin and fresh bread which was lovely.

Friday - Went to the pub (!!) Only went to our local and a cheap pub. Had chinese which I actually enjoyed (was not great when had for first time in ages week before. The OH ate all his which I was suprised it as did I which I was not. Sent my nephew some gifts.

Thursday - Sent nephew a card. Struggling to remember much more than that though.

At some point last week OH cooked rice that we had with salad and chicken - he had tried it before but turned out much better.

One night we had chicken in pasta & sauce then OH went to the pub for football.

Our hoover broke (we have been using it all time we have been together over 3 years but it was his mums so has been used before that). OH ordered a new one from Very (not ideal but he refused to live without one )

2 more bdays next month then I don't think any til OH's in Nov (funny year as special family bdays). & a possible family engagement do! Need, need, need to be more organised (1/2 my problem).

Last week was quite mixed, this week seems to be going quite well.

Managed to make £22 Very payment using apps/SB money mainly.

Today -

Meals from home for us both. OH managed to fit a slice of toast in before work (& 1/2 a cup of tea which I later decided to drink ).

On that note order him new mug from Mc VIP as always uses same one & therefore is washed often.

Work later.

Internet bits.

To do - get off MSE & get bum in gear
