    This sounds awful but i have been mostly sleeping and watching tv. I got invited out by a friend but I just couldnt afford it and the rain put me off. I am half way through today's marking and all is good. I cannot wait till payday.

    It doesn't sound awful, I'm envious of you sleeping and watching TV. I'm not surprised you're not up for much else and don't know how you manage to last through the terms.

    Bless you, I have no spare money so i am trying to pass the time well. As well as marking, watching tv, I'm looking at my store cupboard (full of all sorts) and planning on doing one thing a day to declutter it.

    Going to the park or a walk somewhere else is free, just wrap up!
    Not long until payday 🤗 and targeting one section at a time is good (I'm pinching that idea).

    Payday is good, rewarding for the month that's just passed by 🤗

    Money is good, clearing things is a bonus.
    Payday always makes the day brighter 😊

    Bless you MF hurrah payday is here at last. Looking at my wage slip my earnings have fallen permanently by £60 due to cost cutting at work. However in this climate I am grateful to have a job. 

    From November onwards, I would like to continue to save £250 a month but this may involve living much more frugally eg with £50 spending money a month, we shall see.
     
    The storage room shelves look a bit better but do need more work.
