    It has been raining all day. I have had a loooooong day at work. Only one day left till the weekend and I can start to unpack the rest of my clothes and work in the garden to chill. Hurrah!

    Today I spent 20p at work, not quite a NSD but pretty close. Yay.

    I didn't save anything in the kitchen fund this month as I have spent so much on building work but did pay all the mortgage as that is the priority. Next month I will be back on track. I have £13 cash and just enough to cover my bills till payday, I will be using my credit card for shopping. I lent some money to a friend and am waiting for it to come in which is why I am a bit short will be living on my credit card for the next two weeks!!!!

    I am hoping to just buy fruit this weekend so I don't have to go to the supermarket.

    I hope the weather is nice for the weekend SW, it would be nice to get out in the garden. Its sunny here today after all the rain we have had.


    At least your building work was all paid for and not on the credit card, so a few days shopping wont break the bank:D

    It hasn't been such a good day it rained and then was windy. I did a food shop for £30 (some lovely cheap price whoopsies) and spent £8 on travel!

    I have been tidying round house and did a wash too.
