I worked hard last night and did a fair bit. Today I have tidied, visited town and picked up a pile of things to do. The sun is shining and it is glorious outside. J bought a double gelato for £3.50.
I might wipe down the window sills once I recover from my trip to town. Then I will do some prep. All is well.Aiming for a minimal spend 20220 -
I have mowed 3/4 of the lawn and tidied up the lavender plants. The weather is glorious again and I am making the most of it. I have written one of my 6 units now. Only 5 more to go but I am not getting stressed over them.
I have a music class tonight and then I can chill. The class was about pop music and British Culture we looked at Rock'n'Roll, The Beatles, The Stones, The Specials, Madness, Elvis Costello, The Police, Paul Weller & The Jam, Billy Bragg, Bucks Fizz, Queen, Duran Duran, Spandau Ballet, Culture Club, Dead or Alive, Dire Straits, Fleetwood Mac, Oasis, Coldplay, Amy Winehouse. There were sooo many more I could have covered but we ran out of time. tomorrow's class is about Great British Authors.Aiming for a minimal spend 20220 -

Yay to shower repairs :T hope it wasn't too expensive. I couldn't manage without a shower in this heat, I couldn't bear the thought of getting in a hot bath ! or a cold one :rotfl:
Enjoy your tour of Bath SW. My ex-OH was from that area and we visited Bath quite a few times, but I haven't been for years. It is a lovely place.0% credit card £1360 & 0% Car Loan £7500 ~ paid in full JAN 2020 = NOW DEBT FREE 🤗

I agree Bath is lovely, my best friend stayed down there for a while so I used to pop down for a visit every now and then.

Bath was lovely and the kids were great.I took two bottles of water and these finished so I had to buy more and I bought an ice lolly from the Victoria Park by the Crescent. I got back to the house at 8pm and fell fast asleep. Only to be woken by the boss asking me to do a tour that involved the Spinnaker Tower and Charles Dickens Museum. The museum is my favourite place in Portsmouth so I had to do it. I have just arrived back.
Today I spent £2 on a drink, £4.50 on groceries.Aiming for a minimal spend 20220 -

Indeedy, in the last few days I have relaxed. I have been to see Mamma Mia at the cinema and also visited a lovely garden centre stately home place with friends. Much money has been spent but i wanted to have a treat! I have got to add up my spending and see how much i have spent. i think i have spent my monthly allowance and then some!Aiming for a minimal spend 20220

We took my niece and nephew to see Paw Patrol on Saturday and my money is now long gone.
Still haven't seen Mamma Mia, what did you think?
