Hopefully you find some shifts x
Thanks monz, I've managed to pick up a wee shift next Sunday so that will be an extra £50ish. I've also picked up some overtime at my work although won't get paid it until next month.
Yesterday was a NSD and today should be too. I'm going round to a friend's after work for tea so looking forward to that

Thanks Gib, I did. The bill is :eek: but my own fault, I should have kept a better eye on how much I was using.Mortgage 26.4.25 - £108,500 1.2.26 - £104,364.81

Thanks monz, don't worry still feeling positive and upbeat over here
So Thursday was a NSD, yesterday I spent £13.28 at the supermarket and £5.50 on batteries. I was off work yesterday so went to the gym then spent most of the day baking and reading

Plum flapjack and bread
Managed a couple of NSDs over the weekend, spent £3.90 yesterday on cheese and milk.
Spent the evening round at a friend's which was lovely, I'm really trying to make an effort to see more people this month.
Not much else to report, got a gym class booked for later after work

Went to the kettlebells class after work and really enjoyed being back at a gym class so have signed myself up for another class tomorrow. It's been a NSD, other than that not much to report. Off to bed for an early night, busy day at work tomorrow.Mortgage 26.4.25 - £108,500 1.2.26 - £104,364.81

Hi misstara
Good progress, as always. Well done.
I just wanted to say I've had a similar car club problem. I used a car a few times one month, and usually they take the money quite promptly, but this time they didn't. It was 2 months later when I checked my account and realised the £40 or so hadn't been taken yet. I made sure it got paid, and they were very helpful, but if that DD had gone out at the wrong time then it could have earned me a bank charge. And that would have been very annoying. I'm more careful too now about keeping an eye on it.
Anyway, I'm gald to hear most things are going to plan.If you know you have enough, you're rich.
