Just getting caught up with real life stuff, every time I've gone to update my diary something else has come up.

Had a lovely weekend off with OH but spent far too much money Today I've given my sister money towards my dad's birthday present and my brother the money for travel tickets. I've also booked travel tickets for going home at Christmas time and spent £16.07 at the supermarket.

Getting there

Went shopping on Friday and got my winter coat and running trainers, socks and a water bottle - £96.75 spent so within budget. Yesterday the plan was to go to the fireworks and then some food/drinks with friends, however, fireworks got cancelled due to the weather so we decided to just go out for tea - £19 spent so I still have £31 left of my social budget for the month.

I bought a couple of things for OH's stocking - £4 spent and have also ordered a few presents from @mazon using vouchers from surveys. Still need to phone up and get the christmas money out of savings.

At work today so better finish my coffee and get myself organised. Plan for after work is to go for a run/to the gym (weather dependent) and OH is making roast beef for tea

I'm ok monz, thanks for asking Just seem to feel knackered all the time and falling asleep early. Not sure if it's related to increased exercise or low iron levels again

To answer your previous question, I still have lots to get for Christmas. I've got lots of present ideas jotted down but haven't actually bought much so far.

So Monday and yesterday were NSDs. I was supposed to meet a friend after work today but she isn't feeling great so that has been postponed until next week. Headed to supermarket so £45.80 spent - that should keep us going for quite a while.

Heading down to the new flat tonight, going to measure up the rest of the rooms for carpet and discuss what else we need to get. Suddenly aware that it's only 7ish weeks until the lease runs out on current flat so need to get a move on. My dad is up at the weekend with various bits and bobs that my parents are donating.

I've made an appointment, however, first one I could get is almost 2 weeks away. I love steaks so will make sure I eat plenty of greens and red meat

So me and OH bought a washing machine for the new flat which will be delivered next week. Means new flat debt has gone up but at least it's planned and 0%. Other than that not been spending much, trying to have as many NSDs as possible this month. My dad is here so spending time with him and my gran today.
