    Well don't know where the last few days have gone . Away day with work was great fun., lots of laughs crate stacking, archery and tight rope walking .

    Spending has been minimal , and I have enough to cover my £59.10 dentist bill. Half came came back from health policy , so please with this.

    Spent about £5 today and yesterday on sausage rolls for DGC and new colouring pencils and sweets ( naughty gran ).

    Tesco had 3 for 2on gluten free so spent £12.47 in there .

    Today has been about cleaning, washing etc.

    Shopping and ironing tomorrow.

    I have had a word with myself this week , my spending has been carefree recently , within budget but I know I could be doing even better. I have nothing else booked for a while, so am going to get back on the surveys and try and do more overpayments .

    Think that's it. , sitting watching Eurovision .

    Spent very pleasant afternoon in the communal garden , after doing the ironing mountain that was three weeks worth!

    Shopping was £18.67, being very frugal at the moment. All food planned for the week.

    Have had 5 PA surveys today and am near £10 so will cash out as soon as its available. My target every month is minimum £10 overpayment on CC . I also have an eBay sale ending tonight which will be about £8 .

    Going to get ready for the week ahead , it's another busy one .

    A communal garden sounds nice. Have a positive week. :)
    If you have built castles in the air, your work should not be lost; that is where they should be. Now put the foundations under them

    Emergency fund 100/1000
    Buffer fund 0/100
    Debt Free (again) 25/072025

    Afternoon in garden sounds just the ticket.
    Grandmas privilege buying treats for grandchildren. You're lucky having them close to you.
