Hello my darling, I don't know what I would have done without all the kind messages my friends have been sending me. I was soo down but now I am feeling a bit better. I do need to have a change in my life and this is the first of it. I have started. I can't believe that I have put up with all the rubbish at work for so long.
It is gorgeous outside and I have done one clothes wash and now I have a lesson to plan. I have put some curry in the slow cooker (first time ever) and have vacuumed. I had to order a charger for my karcher machine as I couldn't find it. Now I am going to plan a lesson and chill. It is gorgeous outside. I think this may be a good day.
Omg. he came, he's moving in today. I am so happy. All is well. I will have money again.Aiming for a minimal spend 20220 -
I am paying in my rent money tomorrow as the tenant will be setting up a direct debit for next month. Almost all of this will go into savings and paying off the mortgage.
It is just such a relief.Aiming for a minimal spend 20220 -
I paid the money into the bank, bought some healthy whoopsied food & essential things (total cost was £13 including the bus back). I am now cooking a sausage casserole.
Then I have two lessons to write and some tidying to do. All is well.Aiming for a minimal spend 20220 -

Definitely Skint Yet Again, when I went shopping today I didn't have to worry about the cost of the bus or how much I spent on whoopsies. It is such a nice feeling. I had not realised how trapped I felt on the new lower salary - it's like being released. The key now is to make sure that the tenant stays nice. He is legal and has been added on the council tax etc.
Please let it all work out.
The weather is rubbish outside. Absolutely wintery and awful. :eek:Aiming for a minimal spend 20220 -

I am vacuuming, mopping, cleaning bathroom, kitchen and doing two washes and then I will chill. So far I have not spent any money. I might do a food shop tomorrow.
5 lots of work to do.Aiming for a minimal spend 20220 -
