Bless you Skinty, I hope you are enjoying the hols. The laptop bag is gorgeous and I am so chuffed at the amazing price. This weekend I have largely rested I have done some odd jobs that I have been meaning to do for ages. My meal out cost £25 which is almost a week's groceries. The food was not v good. My work colleague does all the time and i dont know how she can afford it. I can't. Everyone that was there seemed pretty well off.

I have four days off, I am waiting for my parents to arrive and have vacuumed and mopped. I have an ebay parcel to post. Ive just renewed my internet security for £16.40. The weather is gorgeous so I am doing some washing and line drying. So good to have a day off work.Aiming for a minimal spend 20221

It was going fine, some slight pain and lots of lovely sleeping then my boss rang me on Friday night as OFSTED are coming in. So I have made myself knock up some fabtastic lessons today. A few more tomorrow and then a tough week next week. lol. The great news is my mum is here doing all the housework and looking after me. Thank goodness for Paracetamol. I am so lucky.
Another plus, my lovely neighbour put up the 4 new fence panels today (waiting for bill approx. £150 or so? waiting for him to let me know) and nice friend put up new lights after taking down old ones whilst I was zonked out in bed on Wed night (cost £50)
Mum can see that all most of the shops are out of loo roll, paracetamols, bread etc so the old people who only shop once a week are unable to buy the basics when most of the people hoarding are young and wont really notice the Corona doodah anyway. Steve says he saw a few copies of the Daily Fail and considered buying some as spare loo paper but Andy says it might block the loo. lol. Gotta laugh at the daftness of it all.

Bless you Skinty1 I think we have done well so far. I had to spend £27 on a work activity and must try to claim some of it back. I didn't even get round to claiming back from the last one! I bought fizzy pop at work for 3 people It cost about £6 we celebrated as it's nearly over. All everyone is talking about now is Corona Virus. I cannot wait till the weekend.Aiming for a minimal spend 20221
