I've had a mostly relaxing day. Not been anywhere except for taking the dog out locally. First NSD of June. 11,440 steps done. Made a vegetable lasagne from the Hairy Dieters Go Veggie cookbook. Made pulled pork for Mr SA. Paid off cc

Watching the One Love concert, enjoying it, shame about the circumstances that that gave rise to it

Glad I've got the day off tomorrow. Hopefully I'll get the refurbishment finances sorted and get a good deal. Going to cancel bus pass and book skip tomorrow.

Also watching the One Love concert

Told you I was rubbish at counting my NSDs - yesterday was actually 2/8

£9.20 has gone to VSP this morning, now stands at £339.72.

Dog woke me up at 3.30 am wanting to go out. I wasn't best pleased as I thought I'd got to get up for work an hour and a half later. Then I remembered I'd got the day off - oh joy

This week I WILL track all my food/drink, NSDs, spending, etc.

Happy day off

please-let-me-be-lucky

Have a lovely day. Hope the weather is better where you are than here .

Concert was brilliant Xx

Have a nice day off

Concert was good wasn't it! The amount of police here was crazy! I've never seen so many at an event before. They where even walking the streets here and I'm a good 15 minutes away from the arena. All in good spirit too.

Weather awful here today, windy, raining and gloomy

Mortgage all sorted, had the additional borrowing on a 7 year term, repayments will be a bit higher than I'd hoped but will cost less in the long term. Still cheaper than the personal loan I was looking at with my bank. Interest rate is fixed for 5 years and my aim is to pay off the balance then. I can overpay by 10% a year. While I was on the phone I switched the main mortgage to a 5 year deal too and somehow this has generated £100 cashback. I've got headache now, my head is spinning after a 2 hour phone call and all the interest rate jargon.

Will need to be more careful with wildly nilly spending - no more going free range, but it will be worth it. It has given me the kick up the butt I need to go for promotion too as the extra wages will cover the loan easily.

Skip is booked for Friday, this is to clear out DD's room mainly but also to get rid of some garden rubbish. Bus pass direct debit has been cancelled so that's freed up £50 a month.

Best of all have got a start date for the building work - 2 weeks today

Sorry to hear about the headache, but delighted to hear you have been successful with the mortgage stuff - AND of course, £100 bonus!
