Up early watching England play cricket in Bangladesh - my main indulgence these days is Sky Sports - but it gives me chance to check the finances and make a payment of £35 to one of the balance ccs.Every penny's a prisoner

Trouble sleeping here too Erme but it's down to stress levels from work at the moment looking forward to pay day next week followed by a long weekend to myself.
As we are awaiting pay day, today is a small but mighty 70p to savings
Have a good day all

Sorry couldn't find a way to multi quote more than three keedie but slept ok last night. More than what I'd like but I can work on that....rome wasn't built in a day - basic reality - only up for 3/4 hour in night - not the 2-4 hours (or longer) it has been - for that I praise the Lord
I have a simple mental health wellness plan- Sleep well

Welcome Penniesinmyjar, you've discovered a great asset to achieving financial freedom!:T
My PAD is £5 today please Erme - and I'm glad that you're able to sleep with less night time interruption. Your MHWellness Plan sounds very similar to mine - albeit in the reverse order; medication, eating well, me time and sleeping well
