No point trying to do anything until the weather has settled.
Well done getting a handle on spending this month.
Enjoy your holiday and don't work too much!Mortgage started 2020, aiming to clear 31/12/2029.1 -
It is raining now but was mostly dry this morning. Everyone has lost fence panels or bits of roofing on our street. We are so grateful that noone had injuries. I am resting and have some marking to do.Aiming for a minimal spend 20222

Glad to hear you're safe! When I saw the video of the flying wheelie bin I did start to worry. We've escaped most of it up here.2

I cannot believe how much i have missed in everyone's posts. I will catch up.Aiming for a minimal spend 20221

There has been so much marking to do I am nowhere near done. I popped into work to pick up extra bits and did a £27 food shop, had haircut (£15) and spent £5 on travel.
I have planted my snowdrops - although there were only 25 i think they willl look nice and it will be fab if i get more next year. The greenhouse will have to be replaced following the storm but Im not sure if i should as it was in a most inconvenient place and the garden is prettier without it.Aiming for a minimal spend 20222 -
Don't replace the greenhouse, live without it and decide whether it's missed or not.
Well done grabbing a pamper, food spends are good too!Mortgage started 2020, aiming to clear 31/12/2029.1 -

Play dates or paydays MF ? Auto correct on here is terrible lately 😆
Maybe your parents or handyman could salvage some of what’s left and help you make a tall “cold frame” or smaller greenhouse to grow your toms SW ?0% credit card £1360 & 0% Car Loan £7500 ~ paid in full JAN 2020 = NOW DEBT FREE 🤗
