My parents came i had a lovely weekend. Work is crazy but we are breaking up for half term on Friday and i will try to catch up on everyone's diaries, I havent bought much apart from bus pass and lesson resources.
So excited, payday is the day after half term ends!!! Am counting down the seconds. Am v scared as my gas price contract ends v soon. Lodger is always leaving lights on. He doesnt get it at all. lol.Aiming for a minimal spend 20222 -
My energy fix comes to an end shortly too, hopefully the weather will warm up soon so we won't need any heating at all.1

Give the lodger LED lights so at least they are cheap 😬
my energy is due to end in October and it will over double as I’m on an older rate so prices have already increased from what I’m on. I managed to negotiate with Octopus to get an expired tariff.1 -
Put the rent up.

I agree with MF if you include the bills you need to put the rent up. He has been with you a few years now have you ever increased the rent SW ?0% credit card £1360 & 0% Car Loan £7500 ~ paid in full JAN 2020 = NOW DEBT FREE 🤗

No he's been here for 4 year's now. Work was home based today as it was not safe to go in. 3 fence panels have blown down, the green house has shifted from where it was and has broken glass panels. I tried to stand up fence panels but they keep blowing down. I think this will be an expensive month!!!
One week off, plenty of work to do though and time to catch up on your diaries, I did get a Chinese last night cost £11. Other than food and bus pass/travel, sponsoring Andy for MacMillan i have been good spending wise this month.Aiming for a minimal spend 20221 -
More gales forecast for the south tomorrow SW so leave the fence panels down until the weather improves! Have a good week off & get some rest!0% credit card £1360 & 0% Car Loan £7500 ~ paid in full JAN 2020 = NOW DEBT FREE 🤗
