Oh no I know the feeling, I am trying not to spend any money as I have £20 cash till Friday. I still have enough money to pay off my credit card though.Aiming for a minimal spend 20220

I've already paid this months credit card in full. I will try not to add anything else to next months bill. I have £2.75 in my purse. Aiming for a NSD today. I did a big shop yesterday so should have enough food for the week and DS is away 3 days.
It is raining here so I will probably spend the day decluttering. I woke early but managed to get back to sleep after taking a pain killer and had a nice lie in ! I have just put the dishwasher on and some sausages in the oven for breakfast.

It's raining here too. I am glad we needed it!

I made a start on the kitchen/diner today and have totally decluttered (2 black bags of stuff for bin men) and washed all woodwork, skirtings and scrubbed the tiled floor.
We had 2 arm chairs by the French doors and these have been swapped around with the table and chairs. Once the weights and treadmill have gone there will be space for the puppy crate.
I have listed the treadmill on gumtree but won't hold my breath as there are others already listed so it might not sell. Might have to end up giving it away to get rid. I am just going to watch hoarders on tv to inspire me to get rid of more stuff :rotfl:0% credit card £1360 & 0% Car Loan £7500 ~ paid in full JAN 2020 = NOW DEBT FREE 🤗

I have someone interested in the treadmill :j They are coming to view tomorrow. I will get a friend to come round with me whilst they view as DS is away from tonight for few days. He's just got in from work and gone to bed. I have got paint and wall paper out and am going to decorate the "shoe" storage box for the hallway. I will do some washing later if it brightens up and I have a load of ironing to do.0% credit card £1360 & 0% Car Loan £7500 ~ paid in full JAN 2020 = NOW DEBT FREE 🤗

Well done on person interested in the treadmill!
I have ironing to do too but am going to have a good sleep first!Aiming for a minimal spend 20220 -
I have put 2 coats of paint on the storage box and painted the drawer fronts of the small bedside cabinet I got for free on gum tree. The rest is stripped pine and will match my bedroom furniture. I am using up half a tin of paint bought for other things last year.
One load of washing dried outside despite the grey skies and ironed and put away. Dusted off the treadmillready for viewing tomorrow.

Nice sunny weather today I will go for a walk once the person who replied to my gumtree ad has been. Today has been a NSD so far, I managed to resist going to the shop at work so I still have £2.75 in my purse. I had leftovers for lunch instead.0% credit card £1360 & 0% Car Loan £7500 ~ paid in full JAN 2020 = NOW DEBT FREE 🤗
