I wasted £1.80 on two bags of crisps today as I wanted comfort food!!!

I have given myself £10 a week for spending but that is it. I don't have any spare money left over at all this month after all the bills, food, £100 cash for day to day fun/everything else is accounted for. Im poor but happy.

I am working at home on Friday as work owes me some time off even if all I will be doing is work. I think if less likely to spend as I am happy here:)

This weekend I have 3 days off and would like to :

• [STRIKE]Write two lessons [/STRIKE]

.


Declutter any of the following:

• [STRIKE]old notes in storage room,[/STRIKE]
• [STRIKE]towel drawers,utensil drawer[/STRIKE]

Today I had a day off and I vacuumed, decluttered and I recycled lots of old lesson notes in the spare room.

The boys came and collected their lovely table (which filled the car up so they couldn't take some of their other stuff) and bought me a KFC. They also bought me a big bag of 1300 Tetley Teas! How spoilt am I? I do adore them.

It is getting darker at 8pm now.

Ok guess who's hurt her back and my blood sugars are crackers. No more decluttering or ironing for this weekend. I have been writing lessons all morning. This is the perfect excuse to not iron.:rotfl:

One more to go..... let's leave it till tomorrow. lol.

Oh what I would do for a free bag of 1300 Tetley Teas! It's really amazing how much you appreciate things when you're on a low income, huh?!

Seems like you've been hard at work and at home - you deserve some rest

savingwannabe

Thank you Jenny, I keep wondering wouldn't it be great to be rich? I wonder what I would do with £10,000? Buy a new kitchen, it would be wonderful.:j £20, 000? after the kitchen I would give the money to mum and dad for a lovely holiday.:D:money: It is so nice to dream.

I keep watching on you tube that you can make money in side hustles. I suppose my lodger is a side hustle. So is my summer job. I just wish I didn't feel as though I was the poorest one at work. It feels like I am running out of time and ideas.

Maybe when I have finally learned to drive my options will open up.

savingwannabe

Ive been prepping all day and have finally finished at 3.30. I forgot to have lunch. lol.

Back is better but still delicate. I am going to try to declutter a bit in the kitchen. I did the towel and utensil drawers today. I might have to throw some more bits out as I have too many of some things.

Hi yes i ate vegetables and gorgeous barbequed chicken. I am definitely going to declutter some more in the utensil drawers. i wonder if i can chuck two things away every day?

If you don't use it throw it out.

You will feel much better when it's all lovely and organised.
