I did buy a bit more. I honestly dont think i need to buy any clothing now for the next year or two. I'm having my regular flu jab today, I can recover over the weekend. I am also doing a small food shop ideally less than £10.

£333 in account. £155 due on cc bill, £51 in dd still to go out. I appear to have £127 left. . Hurrah this will be spent on food and maybe a day out at half term. 

Jab hurts so i took a paracetomol and had a good sleep.

Good luck with the jab and write a shopping list, if it's not on the list it stays on the shelf.

I don’t usually have any problems with the flu jab but my arm was sore this year & I felt grotty too. Hope you feel better today SW. 

That sounds like a doable budget for the rest of the month 🤗

I am so relieved Skinty. My new job requires research every evening and weekend so I am avoiding expensive things as I dont have time to go out.

Whilst the new salary has not increased my budget (as I am saving £194 extra every month & the rest goes on travel) it has provided a psychological boost as i know the extra saving means I do not  need to worry about bills/ the odd treat. I am so grateful.    

Now I just have to make sure i only buy food till half term. Weather is dry today which is brilliant for line drying I hope. I am just lesson writing and i have just mopped downstairs quickly. I might go over it again as it is not as clean as usual as i didnt do housework last week due to work. 

One lesson to work on till 2pm. Then i might start the other subject.

That boost reduces stress and pressure in your personal life.

You are sounding a lot happier now.

It’s great that you are not spending but do make sure you don’t overwork yourself and get plenty of rest and relaxation. 

Extra savings are fab and you are so worth that extra money 🤗

I am going to take some time off tonight as utterly exhausted after today. Only one and a half weeks till hols!!! We have been given lots of jobs to do in hols too so no actual holiday although i will have weekends off and work in my pjs!


Hurrah some of my undies came today. So excited! I did a food shop at Al*ee for £18.00, Lots of fruit and meat. There is no shortage yet. I have enough to keep me going for two weeks i reckon. 

MovingForwards

Oh now, I'd hoped you would get some days to yourself.
Dig out your most comfortable PJs and slippers, have a nice brand of tea / coffee, put a face pack on and do some work, wash it off during a break. 
With the bathroom spray cleaner around, close the door and wash it off when you take a break from work and then put the kettle on again.

Great shopping trip!

Had my manager have a go at me unfairly. Nothing i can do about it as it is so subjective. I know he is known for being a bully he has a reputation for it. Glad it is the weekend.
