    Today I have some marking to do until 11am and then I am going to have a hair cut (£15). Food + taxis £42.00. Just watered garden. It may rain tomorrow. It hasn't rained for about a week here and it feels glorious.

    I am going to try to avoid spending at work to save money luckily I bought lots of good food today.

    It has rained so much today, roll on summer. I bought sandwiches for two days as I forgot to buy filling lol.

    Crazy marking to do this week and then things will slow down. Hurrah nearly there.


    When work calms down might be switching one of my accounts and hope I can get some money for doing so.

    I will try the switch in about two weeks when work calms down as I am so tired I don't want to make a mistake. It is raining again luckily I just bought my clothes in.

    I haven't done any decluttering this week of the spare room. I love your grocery challenge Hayley. I will try that one time. In about a month I will break up for hols. I hope I get lots of hours with my summer job! I want the money and travelling.
