Well I went, I got fabric and I got DS's school uniform only shoes and bag still to buy but need his feet and input for those:D It was hot in the city but lovely watching all the buskers in the street.
Went for a lovely walk later with lovely man and had dinner at his, today it's back to normality though!Mortgage OP 2026 £350/2000Mortgage OP 2025 £7700/7000Mortgage OP 2024 £7700/7000

But on a positive note I had allowed some spending money for summer hols and I came in £10 under this week so will see how it balances out over the 7 weeks but a good start (well week 2 actually).Mortgage OP 2026 £350/2000Mortgage OP 2025 £7700/7000Mortgage OP 2024 £7700/7000

Cooler here today but on the upside I can actually open the blinds:D (sun shines right on the front of the flat).
Will get a few things up for sale on FLW later, think DS is off out with friends so maybe gym and decluttering for me... Due to the heat I've not been running, have been walking four or five miles each day but also eating tons:o so need to lose at least half a stone again to be comfortable in my clothes, unless I just stick to the floaty dresses...Mortgage OP 2026 £350/2000Mortgage OP 2025 £7700/7000Mortgage OP 2024 £7700/7000

Prawn coconut curry again here tonight but found I'd no rice left so used couscous instead not a popular substitution with DS "eh, not criticising but could we just have normal rice next time mum?":D NSD for me though!
Watched the Great British Budget thing on iplayer and talking to Elantan I was saying I think it's a distraction to stop us thinking about fuel prices, my DD has gone up again ok it's only £67 a month but it's not a big flat, so will ensure I do less washings and DS has promised to make sure he turns stuff off! Don't spend that much on food and feel it's an area I could cut back on but not sure how much more I can save on fuel, need new fridge freezer though so that might help a bit.Mortgage OP 2026 £350/2000Mortgage OP 2025 £7700/7000Mortgage OP 2024 £7700/7000

I was trying to text you back but lost my signal
It really can be a fine balancing act between food fuel and overpayments ( well done BTW)
Sounds like your having an amazing summer though, and can't wait to see the finished products with the material
