The Happiness Fund.

Politicians are crackers. Still it gives us something to wonder about. I cant imagine the Conservatives losing but it all depends on Corbyn leaving. Fascinating times. :money:

I am a working person, I rely on the NHS hence I will vote Labour always.

On Wednesday morning I am doing a supermarket shop then hopefully going with builder to buy some flooring. Then I visit my dear friend in the afternoon.

I spent most of today fast asleep. I heard some bad news a former work friend has passed away. A really nice lady.

Skint_yet_Again

I am really sorry to hear about your former work friend SW, sad news.

savingwannabe

Dreadful news as she was so nice.

Makes you think maybe we shouldn't save and should spend the lot now.

I have just come from visiting another friend and I did a supermarket shop this morning. I spent £48 cc on groceries, flowers and £20 of that was for chocolates for the colleagues at work who have covered me while I was off sick. Then I spent £14 on taxis.

I haven't been to church for ages and got the feeling my soul is in danger from my visit today but I don't think that's true.

I'm staying at home apart from tomorrow maybe, but throat kills after today. Building company rang. Plasterer is double booked he can do Monday though when I will be at work but my builder will be here to supervise and make sure no spillages occur.

We are saving some money and spending some on our houses to make our lives better. It all about balance I suppose not being miserable and saving every penny as we never know what is round the corner. Its good that you can trust your builder to supervise the plasterer.


I think you are a kind soul SW, always willing to help others so in my opinion you are safe

My friend is really religious and always makes me feel bad for not going to church. It is soooo judgmental. She even criticises some of the pastors on the God channel for not being proper Christians.I don't think God is that judgemental. It's been driving me nuts.

Anyway I met with & spoke to CraftyHants about this and she is in agreement with me and I don't think I am popcorn if I don't go to church. We met and I spent £15 on food, £6.50 on bus fare, £5 on chocolate. Total spend £26.50.Weather was glorious and food was great but that's it till summer hols now.

Early this morning Steve found a gorgeous table and chair set (which I don't need but want in the New Forest at a bargain price of £60) including delivery to their address. They have arranged to collect it on my behalf and have been given the money from my Christmas Fund. A bargain price. I will sell my old garden table and chairs though to recoup some cash.

I have £5 cash till end of the month and a few tenners in my bank account. Baked beans for the next few days. :rotfl:

Its a shame that your friend made you feel bad SW. You are one of the kindest people I know. Religion is always a tricky subject. I personally don't think anyone should try to force their religious beliefs on someone, we should all be able to live and worship (or not) in our own way and according to our own beliefs, its not a competition.


I am glad you had a nice day with CraftyHants and treated yourself. Think about sitting out in the garden with your new table and chairs when you are eating those beans and it will be worth it I think next month will be a whole month of beans for me the way my credit card bill is going :rotfl:

savingwannabe

Yep we will be in the same situation. Still the weather's going to get nicer and we can just chill in our garden's for free. I'll need to if I am living on beans lol.

Tomorrow I think I am shopping for flooring. I can only buy one lot of Feed and Weed but I might not even have any money for that? Then I am tidying all day as tidying is free:rotfl::rotfl:

There was a new television programme on yesterday about paying mortgages on properties. It was a bit of a let down to be honest I would rather have seen how people saved the money instead of the types of accommodation they acquired as I have no interest whatsoever in buying a narrow boat etc.

savingwannabe

We are no longer shopping for flooring, maybe tomorrow as handyman can't make it. Instead I will be having a [STRIKE]leisurely clean of the house.

Weather is clear but not sunny. I might [STRIKE]mow grass too[/STRIKE].

In between watching lots of telly.:j

OMG I love MSE, just when you think you are broke. I just logged into my new bank account and had great surprise. They have given me my bonus!!!!! Hurrah! I have put £100 into overpayment of mortgage and kept £25 for happiness fund as this has been sadly depleted this month.

Skint_yet_Again

Great news about the bonus :j :beer: :j Make sure you cover your plants next week SW, we are forecast ARCTIC conditions and SNOW even in the south :eek:
