I'm quite chuffed as I'm sure it wouldn't have suited me. No money spent yet! So glad as most of next month's money is going on my credit card bill. The weather windy today so i stayed in and only jogged for an hour. I did some work though.
I am going to town tomorrow if the weather is ok and hope to get a bit of salad.Aiming for a minimal spend 20221 -

I did and the weather was great. I spent £20 on healthy fruit and food. Then tonight i tidied my messiest drawer out. Nothing else has been done. It was supposed to rain today but it has been lovely!!! Bizarre. I keep finding myself looking at rubbish on Fleabay and must stop as i think i will have £100 after the cc is paid off. I will see on Monday how much i have left.Aiming for a minimal spend 20221

You don't need anything aside from food and are considering spending for the sake of it. In a few months you'll be financially straight again and can reassess everything.
Well done for organising, it's another thing off your list.Mortgage started 2020, aiming to clear 31/12/2029.1 -
STOP LOOKING AT FLEABAY !!

I can as long as i am careful but today i had to visit friends today by train. Total cost was £40 on travel and food! I only see them once a year. They are so lovely and have given me lots of help with my new job preparation.
I will make up for it! Tomorrow i will start working about 4 hours every day on prep.Aiming for a minimal spend 20222 -
That's not a bad cost for travel and food. You'll soon have a better budget to stretch and make life easier.
Good luck with the prep.Mortgage started 2020, aiming to clear 31/12/2029.1
