Sounds like you’re all set! Definitely time for a good rest this weekend 

MovingForwards

Rest is good and long overdue.
Go through your clothes to remind yourself of what you've already got. Find a distraction to avoid spending and step away from window shopping when tired and upset.

I have deleted everything that was on my watch list. I genuinely dont need anything. The perfume i ordered by mistake has come and is horrid. I might have to use it as air freshener. I am a third of my way through marking. About to bring in two lots of washing. So glad i am inside it is soooo cold out there. 

No money spent so far this weekend!!!

Well done for deleting your wish list, hope it will help you avoid unnecessary spending. Enjoy the rest of your weekend 🤗

Today i have two important lessons to write for tomorrow. Then i must tidy house. It needs a vacuum. So far only the tree is up. Maybe next week i can start the rest of the decorating for Christmas. Only two weeks till we break up. I am starting to feel happier. The new salary has made such a difference it isnt much but it means i am not worried about essentials any more. The tiny extra saving is moving me closer to retirement and my house being totally mine.

Hope you have time for a cuppa.
Not long before the house is paid off and you'll be rich, the new kitchen won't be too far away either.
Having the tree up is the main thing, got to have somewhere for Santa to leave gifts.

I have just rushed the last lesson for tomorrow.  I have worked all weekend now I am giving myself the night off. Just vacumed. Too tired to mop!

I have 75 essays to mark in the next week or so as well as the usual lessons to write.I can feel that i am slowing down as so tired but it has been worth it as i am more  financially secure now and i have bought quite a few things with my salary in this job like clothes, undies, plenty of Christmas presents. It is so different to last year when i really struggled. One day i would love a new kitchen but that will not be for at least 5 years.

Two weeks till Christmas hols. Then two weeks till the next payday!!! This merry go round of life is fun though. Please let next week be a good week!

OK, i blew it. Guess who picked up a chinese? It cost £12, I only wanted the noodles dont know why i ordered spare ribs too! It will last for tomorrow too. 

I will be good, I will be good.

Eak, it's done. Think about why you did it and try to avoid that trigger.

I know £12!!!!! It was tasty though. I think £6 will be allowed once a month but no more spare ribs. I go in late today so am about to do some more work. It is nippy outside. Only 1.5 weeks to go till the hols. Hurrah. 

I might nip to the shops if i can next Friday while it is quiet before all the Christmas shoppers do. It will be good to see what is going on as i dont think i have been to the main shops since the beginning of summer.
