    My whole flat has been spring cleaned within an inch of its life, everything o have wanted to do for months I have mostly done.

    A tip run is needed on Monday and charity shop drop off as well. Tomorrow is shopping and ironing and a to do list for between now and end of November . Another to do list for next week as well. My well being revolves around being organised , it's a character trait I can't change. However I now don't turn down days out , adventures in favour of cleaning as I did years ago, so some improvement.

    Going to get something to eat and then bed , in my lovely clean sheets.

    I like to be organised too, and can feel quite anxious if I don't make plans to achieve things. I like certainty in my life, but am learning to react better if random things happen and plans have to change :o

    Only woke up with a sore shoulder, maybe I am not as unfit as I thought. Shopping done £19.41 and put away. My dad has put a freesat box in for me now I have got rid of sky.

    The weather is dire, so ironing and sewing name tags in DGS uniform for me .

    After all the activities of the last few weeks, today has been spent at home relaxing. I had a walk to the local shop and bought some vinegar to replace the nearly empty I threw out on Saturday.

    Have got all my budget up to date and all seems to be ticking along. My focus after this week is on Christmas and Australia trip. I don't want to be last minute with everything and go silly with money.

    I dearly wanted to be debt free by next Christmas, but that isn't going to happen if I want to live as well. My aim now is for summer 2020, I know I have only £3800 to go but my salary isn't going to increase very much and my expenses won't change to much. I am happy with this as long as it's gone by the time I am 60. My CC 0% interest is until April 2021. I will keep making overpayments as and when I can so it might come forward a little bit.

    I am having a chicken stir fry for dinner , need to get breakfast and lunch ready for work tomorrow as well

    Have my fleece on as determined not having heating on in August, it doesn't help that I have my windows open!

    It was indeed chilly yesterday - my blankie come out as I snuggled down watching a film. It was quite nice....but not looking forward to winter and darker nights.

    I'm with you on living whilst paying off debts. If I put undue pressure on myself I end up miserable and blow all my good intentions out of the window.

    Your Aussie trip is getting close - exciting.
