Well done that is great. Running is great to release endorphins. I used to years ago. Now I'm just a lump. I hope you can enjoy the nice weather.Aiming for a minimal spend 20220

I did, thanks! It's cooled down a bit now but it's still sunny. I did my first run on Tues morning and now I can't sit down or stand up without making noises. So sore... My passport arrived fine, so that's one less thing to worry about
I also have an interview next week for an internal job, so fingers crossed! 0 -

Payday! Savings will look like this once the standing orders move money around:
Holiday Sinking Fund: £101.29
Help to Buy ISA: £390
Mortgage/Moving Costs: £150
Emergency Fund- Fully Funded at £5001 -
It looked like I only had £1.80 left for groceries til payday from my spreadsheet, so I only spent £1.06 in the supermarket earlier just to tide me over. I've checked my bank account and I've found £8 from somewhere. Where was that hiding?! I can replace some toiletries now 0

Well done on finding the cash. :jAiming for a minimal spend 20220

Payday! Can't be bothered to update figures, but I've put the usual amounts into my H2B ISA and my other house account. I've put £20 in the holiday fund and a few quid in another fund, this time for another pair or running shoes. I'm on week 8 of Couch to 5k, and I've decided to keep going with it. I feel so much fitter. The cheap running shoes I bought are already on the way out (what do you expect for £12.99?) so I want to invest in a really good pair. They can cost an absolute bomb, but I'll get my gait analysis done to make sure I'm spending wisely.1

Oh, and I've got another job interview for Monday, fingers crossed!0
