Afternoon all

Hope you are all well?
I did it yesterday, I managed to have a total NSD!My second of this pay month. I want to try and get at least another 3, make it 5. It won't be today. I had my weekly coffee with the girls, and stocked up my drawer this morning.
Otherwise though I have/will:
- keep track of all spends (this is an important one! I keep forgetting!)
- lunch etc from stores
- £2 into savings pot (this is going to be my new clothes fund - when I lose a bit more weight)
- clicks and searches
- going to sort out my savings pots (20p, coppers and silver) and bank tomorrow - goes to the holiday fund
- meal plan for next week
- make brooch to wear for the wedding this weekend
- track calories
- check banking
Have a lovely day all, it really is nearly the weekend! xxxxClicking, searching and surveying my way to a life of debt freedom!

I've been for a haircut, so now need a woolly hat to keep my ears warm.
Sorted the Mot on the car, that's it for another year.
Been to Asda for a few odds and ends.
If the rain stays off i'm off out now to pull some weeds up in the back garden.Liverpool is one of the wonders of Britain,
What it may grow to in time, I know not what.
