Dancing in the Rain

Thanks milasave As you will see that bargains continue!

On my lunch hour I had my usual free coffee (2.20) and free paper (2.90) in a lovely Wait**** in a lovely area. (I love where I work) I purchased an orange (34p) as you have to buy something if you want to sit in. I took a flask of soup in to work and ate it before I went to lunch.

It was quiet when mark downs were happening so no grabbing to put me off.

I got free range chicken breast (2 in a pack) I never buy them as too expensive, BUT:

6.88 to 1.21
6.77 to 1.22
6.18 to 1.09

Hereford low fat beef mince

4.49 to 79p X4

Free range pork mince

3.99 to 49p

Welsh lamb loin noisettes (2 in pack)

7.99 to 1.49 X2

So, £53.27 for food, £4.10 for paper and coffee and I got the whole lot for my allotted £10!!! :T:money:

I had a chicken salad for supper with a whole chicken breast and it was lush

I’ve portioned up the meat and frozen it. If I don’t portion it I find I overeat. I will use mince to mix with quinoa and do stuffed slow-cooked veggies and this little haul should impact next months shopping budget too

3 good things

Bargains appeared when I had the money to pay for them

A colleague is leaving to pursue creative endeavours and I felt okay about it. For now, I need to work all the hours I can to pay off my debt.

Tomorrow belongs to me and my weekend begins

Happy Saturday reader

Sounds nice, a lovely weekend of bagging goodies, and enjoying the smaller things in life, like good coffee and a friend following the dream..

Have a good Monday x

A wet and windy start to the day.

Left a pen without the lid on, touching curtain and the curtain has sucked all the ink in I don't have another pair of curtains, so used stain devil but the stain still shows. Momentary panic, but will cut below the stain and use the shorter curtain in bedroom. Make do and mend :money:

Will hold out until August before getting new curtains for this room:(

Yesterday I had my pedicure. Feet delightful. Walking on air. So pleased I tipped the podiatrist £5 :eek: I think I thought I was the old me with lots more money :eek: (or no concern or acknowledgement that debt was a problem) I will get the pedicure money back from work as there is a small budget for such things

I am exactly 24 months from my debt free date. I know I am a long way off but I have thought about it for the first time. I know it will be summer now

I cannot afford the face tint I wanted. I got my fave hair conditioner instead, and I will do my own eyebrows. This saves me £30 as I feel I've been a little spendy already so I'm on the alert.

Have a lovely day

What's a face tint?

24 months is no time at all.

If I were to book a pedicure I'd have to make sure they have a belt sander first, it's been that long.:eek:
They are fabulous though aren't they?!! I think I have a gift certificate for one though, so may dig that out and go.

How is the decluttering coming? I noticed that was a 2016 goal. I was gung-ho at the beginning of the year but now need serious motivation to get back on track. I got stymied during the paperwork....

Hi DIA

24 months isn't that long at all. How quick has the last 24 gone? Or even how quick has nearly 48 months gone since the London Olympics? Maybe you'll have a little windfall, who knows

I hope face pack Friday happens this week for you

Amazing bargains in Waitr0se, well done. My local one is a bit too far to nip to

It's nice you can get your feet done through work, what a perk. Look after your feet and they look after you

Have a lovely week

It's called face and body foundation and it's as light as water, but I call it a face tint as it sits on the skin so lightly and doesn't 'cover' it's the only stuff that I can wear without feeling over made-up. I love it..:)

Ha, ha, your pedicure comment made me smile and yes, it was a little like a snow-storm :rotfl:

My decluttering has gone well but now I'm down to stuff that needs selling. I've given some excellent stuff to the CS but to further my decluttering I need to start eb*ying, but that scares me somehow...:(

Hello DIA,
I'm so sorry to hear about your curtains. How frustrating. I did find this though, in case anything in there helps you:

I love the feeling of having a pedicure, after it's done. I find it a torture during the procedure as my feet are so sensitive!!!!

I completely agree with Orange Ena about how fast time will fly by. It's hard to see now, but when you get through this it makes it worth so much more and you really learn lifelong lessons.

Happy June to you!!!
