Things can only get better

That's payday done - money in money out.

Tesco cc has been paid off.
£300 off Barclaycard, new balance £1580 - early start to the 1 debt vs 100 days challenge
Another £20 off the vet bill - now £395
VSP 2019 stands at £55.98 which means I've smashed my £50 a month target

Got Mr SA to take the dog on the park this morning as I've done it every day all over Christmas. Will take her out again later as I need to go to the cashpoint for tonight.

The bin men came this morning saying they'd missed some bins in our area last week (not ours though) so I cashed in on it and got both bins emptied again

Hope you have a lovely day & Happy new year

All the best for 2019

Forgot to add Mr SA said he enjoyed his couple of hours on his own last night, he watched Star Wars and made a huge dent in the bottle of rum without me there to police his measures.

9. Do a proper meal plan every week including veg accompaniments so I'm not buying stuff I don't plan to use

Happy New Year everyone

Last night was ok, we came home at 11pm. Usually our local is packed solid on NYE and they have a good band on. Not last night, it was quite empty, not much atmosphere and a DJ playing the most random selection of music I've ever heard. Mr SA enjoyed his steak but my leek tart was rock hard. On the plus side as we'd already paid for most of it in advance we only had to pay £4 for Mr SA's pint. Thankfully Mr SA only had a pint and some Prosecco so no repeat of the other year.

When we got back home I put my feet up with a glass of wine ready to watch Madness and the fireworks. Looked at the clock, it was 11.55, took a sip of wine, looked at the clock - it was 1am :eek: I do it every year, missed it again!!

Can't believe it's back to work tomorrow, where did that go?

Today I'm going to Mr T to take back some trousers I bought DD for Christmas that are too short. Mr SA is excited as he wants to look at the sweatshirts.
