    Got paid from side hustle job £238 and got supply pay but the taxman messed up my code so I've paid him nearly 50%. Got straight on the phone to get it sorted and should get it back in next wages (weekly so that's handy) and some in a refund. Only took about 40 minutes to get it sorted!!! Bonus if working is no time to spend and then too tired to shop after work. Fully booked for all next week too so I can organise meals, childcare and finances really carefully.

    Cheap day, £1.50 whole chicken from local shop to be cooked & used in recipes/lunch boxes this week, cheaper than getting slices for butties. Got a fair bit of eating up to do and corned beef hash to make. Menu planning in earnest tonight then a baking day tomorrow.

    Eating the bargain chicken for tea tonight, then using leftovers in lunches and going to attempt chicken broth, tried it once and it turned out a bit odd! Busy day at work and got an email confirming I am getting paid a morning's supply as a school I was booked in to work at on Friday cancelled but forgot to tell anyone so I rocked up ready to teach for nothing. Luckily managed to get TA supply elsewhere the same day so double pay effectively for the morning!
