It’s been a lovely week off work and with these temperatures we’ve had, I’m very thankful I wasn’t at Job 1!
Lots of time has been spent in the garden and at the allotment. Frustratingly something has munched all of my pea plants at the allotment so it’s back to sowing more seeds to try and raise more seedlings.
Payday was on Friday, so monies have been shuffled around in readiness for all the direct debits to come out tomorrow.In the next couple of months I have a wedding to attend at the other end of the country, DH’s birthday, DD4’s birthday and DS2’s birthday and my car’s MOT to consider financially speaking. Not quite so much chance to save up for accommodation but intending to knuckle down then to get to saving for September’s rent. I could also do with getting an eye test booked and a filling done on my teeth so feeling the need to make every penny count. On the wedding front, travel tickets have been booked as has the overnight accommodation we’ll need so just need to pay for breakfast food and any drinks we have on the day.

Time is flying by…For Job 1 it’s the busiest month of the year so trying to get through the to do list!! Off to a wedding this weekend but travel and accommodation costs have already been paid for. My aim is to get through as much work between now and tomorrow afternoon and then go off for the weekend and leave the work laptop at home, for a proper weekend break!
Looking forward to exploring more of another part of the country.paydbx2026 #19 £2324/£6000 . Mortgage start £148k June 23 - now £133k.

Your weekend plans sound lovely. Definitely leave the laptop behind - it’ll all get done at some point!
