    Evening absolutely shattered so just a quick update to keep me straight, but have had a lovely day and DH bought lunch which was a lovely treat.

    Finances done this morning and a couple of bay items relisted, also posted ebay items first thing this morning. $11 amazon withdrawn from survey site which will be around £8. Small ebay sale today £4.

    Spends today a bit complicated as I had some Christmas money £80 and bought everyday clothes for holiday this summer and work clothes, so work clothes will come off my challenge amount, but holiday clothes have come out of my Christmas money, I refuse to buy work clothes with my Christmas gift money.
    Also new week starts for grocery spends and have had a veg box order and butter/milk.

    Spends today-
    Veg box order £28.70
    Body shop - £16.95 - Christmas money
    Gap - £12.78 - work clothes, challenge money.
    Yankee candles - £16 - Christmas money.
    Next- holiday clothes - £27 (bought 2 skirts, maxi dress, blouse)
    Next - work trousers x2 £14

    So I still have £20 of Christmas money left, £42 of personnel spends left but i'm taking DD to cinema tomorrow.

    To do this week -
    Optician appointments.
    Fill out form for hospital appointment

    Finances today -
    58p TT to general savings, £4 to holiday savings. $11/£8 amazon voucher redeemed.
    Weekly Grocery budget 5/1/18 - 11/1/18 £100/£28.70.
    NSD 4
    personnel spends £50/£7.90.

    I have no idea if this all makes sense as i'm so tired. xx
  • Evening quick update before tea, just spag bol so nice and easy.

    Slept until 9am and only woke because DH brought me a cup of tea up, yesterday shopping wiped me out and i'm starting to worry if i'm going to manage going back to work, only time will tell.

    Took DD to the cinema to watch pitch perfect which cost £15 or the 2 of us and I bought us a latte each as we were so cold and didn't want soft drinks from pound shop, did buy sweets in pound shop so a £2 spend there.

    Listed a few items on ebay this afternoon and have some things to list tomorrow, sold a couple of bits today as well but not been paid for yet so nothing to hols fund, £1 TT made though to everyday account.

    To do this week -

    Work will get easier every time you go in. If you get tired, give your class lines to write (do children even know what lines are? I once threatened DS with lines and he didn’t know what I was talking about).
  • I hope you are able to go back to work Pennywise. Are the days you're going back consecutive or will you have a day off inbetween to recover?
    Finally Debt Free After 34 Years, But Still Need to Live Frugally
    Debt in July 2017 = £58,766 😱 DEBT FREE 31 OCTOBER 2017 :T 🎉
    EMERGENCY FUND 1 = £50/£5,000. EMERGENCY FUND 2 = £10/£5,000.
    CHRISTMAS SAVINGS = £0/£500. SEF = £1,400/£12,000 PREMIUM BONDS ME = £350. PREMIUM BONDS DH = £300.
    HOLIDAY MONEY = £0 TIME LEFT TO PAY OFF MORTGAGE = 5 YEARS 1 MONTHS

    Hi HHoD, days in are consecutive, but does mean I get a super long weekend to recover :D.
