Yes, it's miserable isn't it? Can't believe it's July tomorrow!

Managed to get out for a little walk this afternoon when the weather cleared up for a bit; getting out and getting some fresh air definitely has made me feel better this evening. I keep feeling a bit "meh" but I think the weather is playing a bit part in that at the moment.

Positive things today:

• Dippy eggs and soldiers for breakfast!
• Finances in general look okay
• Shares are a bit :eek: but in it for the long haul
• Got another couple of small dividend payments today
• DS has been in a GREAT mood today, love him so much

Tomorrow is Friday and July :eek: this year is going so quickly...

Terrible. So many "autumn" colds and coughs going around here at the moment.

I can't believe we're into July tomorrow, either. :eek:

Sounds like overall you're having a good day. Don't worry about shares, things will settle down. I'd be in a great mood if I'd been served dippy eggs and soldiers for breakfast too. Your son must be heading towards being one soon? It's wonderful to hear you have a good bond with him, from what you've said on here things have been rather difficult for you.

The year is indeed going too quickly ... we must be getting older, SF. :rotfl:

Early August, I can't believe it!

It really is, and we definitely are :rotfl:

Me and DS have had a duvet day today. Well, I say that, it just means we've been at home all day he's got a new trick too - he can pull himself up to standing, which he's practiced a lot today! It'll be walking next I suppose... :eek:

Positives today:

• OP of £14.28
• Transferred £3.37 to tidy up accounts to savings
• NSD
• Had gammon, homemade chips and fried eggs for tea - all allowed on SW and very tasty!
• Received £24 in dividends today and more to come in the month
• It's Friday

I'm thinking about trying to do another no spend month for July, to reign in our spending as I know that August is going to be more expensive. Though, if it keeps raining like it does, we won't be going anywhere to spend any money anyway!



Happy July everyone

I'm loving each milestone, if I'm honest and it was a good day!

Saturday, July 2nd.

Today has been long - DS started with a temperature late last night and spent most of the night crying on and off the only way I could get him back to sleep in the end was to rock him to sleep in the rocking chair cuddling him and left him a while. I then managed to get him into his cot and thankfully he stayed asleep. He's been very clingy and miserable today; his temperature is slightly better but not back to normal by any stretch. Possibly another tooth coming through? I hope tonight is better.

As a result, we've not been anywhere today; lots of cuddles on the sofa and not doing much. I love it when DS is super cuddly, just wish it wasn't when he is feeling unwell or tired! But, I'll take it when I can now

Positives today:

• NSD
• Finances looking good.
• Eating healthily today despite being really tired and craving junk!

Not much to report, because I've done nothing all day


Happy Saturday

Seeing all the milestones is one of the most wonderful things about parenting. I kept a record of the milestones my son achieved before he went to school.
