A little TT of £3.70 this evening.
I did not, in fact, remember to get the John Lewis/Waitrose giftcard for the TCB cashback. But I did get a decent sized gammon joint yellowstickered to under £10, which has gone in the freezer to provide multiple meals in the future, so it's not all bad. Last week I got a very cheap piece of pork shoulder reduced from the butcher counter, at this rate I'll have half a pig to provide meals in the freezer 😅
More expenses this month - contributed to a retirement gift for one colleague and sponsored another for a charity fundraising event. I've just purchased some flowers for Mothers Day and DS will be set the task of making a nice card this weekend. My own card made at nursery was waiting for me at pick up time.
Swapped DS's bag of clothes for £15 today. Cash has gone in the Disney jar.
New side hustle website went live at the weekend. Still very low on content but I know what I want to do. I just need to actually find time to do it! (The eternal call of the working Mum with lots of on-going projects) I try not to give too much away on here but I'll say it's women's fashion related and leave it there.
Not much else to report at the moment. I'm considering buying a thermal label printer as an increasing number of potential side hustle places seem to require you print off your own label, and it would be quite useful for my online shop when I'm struggling to get to the post office to buy more stamps. I'm just not sure if I would use it enough to justify the price, the most recommended one is £66. Will continue to have a think.
Mr VH is working tonight so I've cleared some freezer space by making a beige picky tea for my dinner. Nice and easy to chuck in the oven while getting DS into bed.
Have a good Friday everyone!

Think about the £66 outlay against your time. Priceless.
