Evening all. I was back at work yesterday and I realised at 10pm last night I never posted my list. Oops. I also received some bad news at work. My hours are being slashed as of next week so we're going to be down £500 a month
. Just when I felt like we we're finally getting somewhere financially. So.....I've spent this evening coming up with our new budget, things could be a lot worse. I still have a job as does dh and we are debt free. So tomorrow's list will be......
*check how much I have left on gift cards from Christmas
*look at changing virgin package for cheaper deal
*do meal plan for wkend and next week using what we have in
*sort laundry - get rid of odd socks!
*keep a smile on my face especially at work
*30 mins exercise£387.39/£196.46
Pay my debt by End of Feb 2022
49.28% paid!
£199.55/£500 savings by End of April 2022
39.91% saved!

The boilerman came....needs another new part now! So, no heating or hot water since Monday. I really miss hot water! Fortunately the shower is electric so we can still be clean but boiling the kettle for hot water is a pain! And we are spending a fortune on electric heaters! Fingers crossed that it will be fixed tomorrow.Saving 1 animal wont change the world - but it will change the world for that 1 animal
