    Moaning time , had another bad day at work yesterday, management are trying to micro manage everyone and it is starting to get annoying , so I had a vent ! It didn't achieve much but made me feel better. Anyway today I finished at lunch , came home and did some housework as out Saturday and Sunday.

    Managed 3 NSD this week , put petrol in today before payday tomorrow as it is cheaper near work than home.
    Also spent £11 on waxing and £20 on my hair all out of personal spends?

    Tomorrow is payday , I am still trying to be frugal with spends , but can do better. Good news is all the PA surveys this week, will cash out once there all in, will be about £23 in 5 days not bad. As usual it will be paid of credit card.

    Friday Childminding day.
    Saturday Trip up to lakes to see friend and Royal Wedding Afternoon Tea.
    Sunday Trip to big well known garden centre in these parts with another friend.

    Hope the sun continues to shine.

    Sounds like you are doing well on the frugal front. I could do with some NSDs too.
    As for your workplace I think we work in the same office actually as I am micromanaged to a ridiculous extent ;)

    Ooh Royal wedding afternoon tea sounds nice :)
    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

    I was micromanaged in my last job so I appreciate how awful that is :(

    Your weekend sounds lovely. I hope the sun sticks around for you :)

    Thank you for your comments all appreciated.

    Today myself and DGD have made the most of the outdoors , we had 2 meanders , one was walking with little one on reins. She loved the freedom of having two free hands to touch leaves and bushes ! We played outside as well , she was most well behaved.

    I am tired tonight , but a good tired . Plus we had a NSD even better.

    Another early night , as want early start tomorrow.
