Bambi has gone thank goodness. I hope she is with her mum. Payday at midnight tonight. I owe £190 to xmas fund, £250 to savings, leaving me with £100 for food.Aiming for a minimal spend 20222

Can you carry forward £90 to Xmas fund and pay a bit extra in over the next few months, that way you've got £150 for food and £40 for fun?

Lol no MF i have extra money for enjoyment. I will be spending the xmas fund as it is also my holiday fund and i am using it all this month to spend on my family when lockdown ends at the end of July. Hence i have £100 for food and £190 for fun/birthday presents and meals! An awful lot of spending but i have a year to make up to them all.
Payday at midnight tonight! So excited.Aiming for a minimal spend 20222 -
Ok I blew £10 already and only got paid at midnight. Some lovely handwash (4.00 that i didnt need) chocolate (2.00 in case of hypos) and treated a stressed friend to coffee (£4) that's my weekly spend done.Aiming for a minimal spend 20222

Nice handwash is a must, it helps release happy feelings and memories. I don't think your spends are too bad, provided it's not a daily thing.Mortgage started 2020, aiming to clear 31/12/2029.0

I think it’s lovely that you treated your friend who was feeling stressed. Hope you had a good rest. I’ve just had an email from GP to go for another Hba1c and I know it will be really bad as I have just been eating loads of chocolate and cake and ice cream 🤦♀️0% credit card £1360 & 0% Car Loan £7500 ~ paid in full JAN 2020 = NOW DEBT FREE 🤗

I think with your walking you are miles ahead of me I barely walk now. I have been eating rubbish too. I will keep my fingers crossed for you my lovely.Aiming for a minimal spend 20223

It is nearly the weekend. I cannot wait. Lots of tidying to do and also gardening in between rain. I picked strawberries today from my garden the crop isnt as good as usual (as i have ignored them all year) but i still enjoyed them.
I am planning to tidy medicine cabinet for a start and mow the grass before the rain starts.Aiming for a minimal spend 20223 -
Only one more day to go!
Growing season has had a late start due to the weather, there's a lot complaining in England about how far behind they are.
Hope your lawn appreciated the haircut 😃Mortgage started 2020, aiming to clear 31/12/2029.2
