Time to get serious

Our pooch us the opposite and I have to tip him out of bed for a mornng walk. He's currently curled up in the smallest ball he can get into in his bed downstairs, snoring contentedly!

Well done on reaching your target.

Dog walk has been completed both days this weekend (he's currently snoring away!).
Monthly expenses have been transferred over from the business account to our personal accounts.
Also first month for Hali rewards, so another £5 transferred over. This takes the savings so far this year to £4541 (28,541 in total). There shouldn't be much more this month now apart from the 123 account interest, but you never know!

There may not be much to shuffle into savings, but there are still little things that can help along the way!

Still haven't done a mealplan, which DD has discovered she relies on! Must get this done soon.

I have submitted meter readings for gas+elec which has resulted in a drastic lowering of the DD. I was hoping for a small refund (just so I could do some shuffling!) although it will help when the bills account top up happens as there will be more left to overflow into savings then.

Also printed off a voucher for hubby's birthday lunch

Those little things really add up! When I was doing that, I kept one list of actual money, and another of benefits like vouchers and money off - hundreds of pounds! Keep going, EE

Thank you KC. Yes I think it would add up to 100s quite quickly!

Quiet weekend going on over here, mainly because I am feeling rough!

There are things I could be doing (always!) but trying to take it easy. Two more weeks until we have a week off - can't wait!

Pony goes to her new home this week and we have started taking next one out walking. I had forgotten how speedy she is!

From me too. I know the temptation to do "just one little job" but you need to not fall *really* ill ... not long now till the holibobs.

Thank you SHS & KC, I'm coming out the other side, but KC is right. The temptation is very high to crack on with things.
