Morning everyone, still off sick, on the mend now but not leaving the house means no spending.
Need to update my spreadsheets, get some washing done and dried outside and work out what we are having for tea.
DS needs some new school trousers but I need to sort out his wardrobe as I think he might have more pairs than we think. If not I need to put that in the budget.0 -

Good Afternoon
Thanks for starting us off Ziggy
Today I got to see my payslip (payday tomorrow) and found out how much my buy out is from losing my night shift premium. It's about a 3rd of what I was initially quoted, which is good because it means my pay isn't going to be reduced as much as I thought (due to extra hours on Sundays). However, it means I won't be able to pay as much off my snowball as I expected. I'm still staying positive
Today....- Create a list for Al Dee, compare it against Mr T and order from the latter where it's cheaper
- Vote
- Rework Snowball to account for Buy Out
- Update Money with new Snowball payments
- Set up CC payments for month
- Put more electric on the key
- Relax and take time out for me
I think that's about it.

Dawn, I feel your pain re the black and white tiles, what doesn't show up on the black shows up on the white and vice versa (much like the ct hairs from my black and white cat!)
I bought a sandwich again today and also some YS Finest orange juice and YS chic chip muffins. I don't feel bad about the OJ because it's one of my five a day (actually it's ALL of my five a day!), the muffins however...

Sending big hugs, is there a particular reason or just one of those days?
Why not take some time out and just do something for you - bit of a pamper, 10 mins alone with your book or 10 mins outside in solitude (if the weathers nice with you of course, turned lovely here now)Goodreads 2025 Challenge :16/75
