Everything on my list achieved except for clearing out that cupboard. Will do it tomorrow.
More money saving: Made a big jugful of lentil soup using ham stock I had in the freezer & a parmesan rind I'd been saving for just such an occasion. It's yummy, & a proper rib-sticker, so will be filling.
Even more money saving: Mr f got the weekly shopping in under budget, despite buying a couple of extra items. Budget was £35. He spent £27. (Very pleased with himself) Good old Aldi.
And......still no heating on. Would ideally like to go to Nov, except for bathroom towel radiator.
Feeling motivated.
F x2025's challenges: 1) To fill our 10 Savings Pots to their healthiest level ever
2) To read 100 books (46/100) 3) The Shrinking of Foxgloves 8.1kg/30kg

I fell in love with it and roses are so easy to crochet.

Was feeling a bit downhearted today as we are fast running out of funds in our "spending account", mainly due to larger than usual petrol spends (OH went for an interview a long drive away - he didn't get the job either!). And it is a way to go until payday - 13 more days.
But now I have read yesterdays and todays posts I am feeling more positive. I think the solution is to start selling stuff again - and boy do I have lots of stuff to sell. Have sold all the big things we didn't really need but have lots of toys/clothes/books and other such things stashed away.
So today I am at work, earning not spending. Soup from freezer for lunch and sausages also from freezer to have with mash later.
OH has fixed the clothes airer - he is a DIY hero these days.
Later I'm going to get some stuff out of the shed and start getting ready for a big push on selling.
Still haven't had the heating on - going to see if we can last until November. May be spending quite a lot of time in bed with a hot water bottle......
And finally - we also have a pile of bricks - could there be a Christmas present idea here (I won't be posting them though :rotfl:
Best wishes x
