Sorry to hear about your fence SW. Hope it can just be repaired and you don’t need to buy new panels as they are not cheap.Chicken soup sounds lovely, I had curried parsnip soup yesterday 😋 Not quite a Chinese though is it 😆 Perhaps if you still have £50 left by payday you could treat yourself ☺️0% credit card £1360 & 0% Car Loan £7500 ~ paid in full JAN 2020 = NOW DEBT FREE 🤗

I did and treated myself to a chinese last night £5.50. Yum. The washing machine broke last night and it was repaired for £50 which is a lot cheaper than a new machine! It allowed me to tidy under the sink and already the house is clean and there is washing drying nicely on the line. After payday I have £200 for food and fun this month, allowing if possible £100 to be put in my emergency account for the raised bills. Off to sleep then I will do some work.

I worked all weekend but brain is starting to shut down so i am taking it easy this week. Food shop tonight till weekend from Ald* it cost £18 and i just cannot believe how much cheaper it is than anywhere else. There are no frills at all but it'll do whilst i combatting rising utility bills. I wonder how long it will be till the rising gas and electric prices will cause rising prices in everyday products. I hope this isn't like the OPEC price rise of 1973. I always think the worst.Aiming for a minimal spend 20222

As you can cook from scratch, you'll adapt your meals to what's available and within budget, almost like seasonal produce.Mortgage started 2020, aiming to clear 31/12/2029.2
