I had a tummy bug for a few days (was allergic to something) so I was in bed. Today though I started to recover and went to the shopping centre with my parents for a mooch. Then I helped with the gardening.
No work work done for two days as I was so ill. Never mind. I made the most of today's gorgeous sunny weather though.Aiming for a minimal spend 20220 -

I twisted my back when I got up this morning and my back kills. I look like a tortoise with a pink hot waterbottle as my shell. I'm a bit better and will try to go to work tomorrow.
Only two weeks till payday. My current account switch payment of £125 has come today. Thank you to Skinty for reminding me to check. Hurrah for extra money.
No more extra spending for the next 2 weeks. I shouldn't have bought extra placemats but I'm keeping them for times like Christmas when I have extra guests.
Roll on nice weather for later this week. I can't wait.Aiming for a minimal spend 20220 -

Me too. Dont worry we will still be ok. I am cleaning and doing things to take my mind off lack of money. I might go out for a shop tomorrow for food but I am trying to use up the things I have.
I have made an executive decision. I have just bought a liptick on fleabay and also a blouse. I like them but they weren't essential and I need to stop buying things as I have loads of clothes. So next month is a non fleabay month. EEEK EEEK EEEEK will I be able to manage it?????
Ooer we have thunder here. Jolly exciting.
One of my friends popped by and gave me a lift to supermarket. I saved £10 on taxi fare's. ~The food price was £32 with no whoopsies.Aiming for a minimal spend 20220
