It’s a cold but bright and sunny morning. I have walked the dog, wrapped myself up with thermal lined winter coat, scarf and gloves. Wish I had worn my wooly hat too as my ears were cold. Have had a hot chocolate & washing is on.I have paid my credit card £617.35 mostly house survey plus petrol up north & back again.I watched Jamie Oliver meals for £1 and the microwave sweet potato, spinach and chickpea curry looked lovely so I have added the ingredients to my shopping list. Also I have 4 pork chops in the freezer bought when DF came to stay but not used. I will put them in the slow cooker tomorrow once they have defrosted with onions, carrots, butternut squash & apple. Should make a nice pork & apple casserole with several portions for the freezer.0% credit card £1360 & 0% Car Loan £7500 ~ paid in full JAN 2020 = NOW DEBT FREE 🤗

You're doing really well and will be on to your new life soon. Hang on for a bit longer, when it's over your body will impose rest and you'll begin to feel better.Mortgage started 2020, aiming to clear it in 2026.1

Saturday was a bit of a washout. I walked the dog in the rain then made a pork & apple and butternut squash casserole in the slow cooker. The rest of the day was in front of the tv.Tried to take the dog out again around 4pm before it got dark and the fireworks got started but one went off as we left the house so she was having none of it 🙁
I walked to the coop and got ice cream and a chilli & rice ready meal reduced from £3.50 to £1.34 now in the freezer.Can hardly believe milk is now £1.70 for 4 pints skimmed when not so long ago it was £10% credit card £1360 & 0% Car Loan £7500 ~ paid in full JAN 2020 = NOW DEBT FREE 🤗

Walked the dog in the lashing rain this morning. She loved jumping in the puddles and rolling in the mud.I am going food shopping this afternoon. Hopefully DS will walk puppy dog later. Fireworks seem to go on for ages round here so I will be surprised if there are no more later. At least he can pick her up and carry her if she refuses to move 😆 🏋️♂️ No way I can lift a 33kg dog 😳0% credit card £1360 & 0% Car Loan £7500 ~ paid in full JAN 2020 = NOW DEBT FREE 🤗
