We'll be there this time next week Buffy I've been nagging him for ages about him drinking too much beer so will be cross if it's alcohol related damage.

Forgot to say there was an accident in town on Friday. I passed a shop which had been cordoned off, ambulances and security guards around it. I heard yesterday a woman had fallen and died on the scene in there, just awful

Happy Sunday

Thanks to the dog and cat I've been up since 6am. Got loads done so far, have put a colour on my hair, done the finances and ordered my euros online to collect tomorrow. Mr SA has given me £20 to change into euros "just in case he sees something", I've emptied my holiday handbag fund jar and have £60 to change, we've got about €80 left over from the last trip to Lanzarote, so all good there.

Budget pots all ok at the end of week 1. Doing an Aldi shop this morning - I always say I don't want much then end up spending more than I planned.

VSP £201.59 - ideally I'd like this to be at £250 by the end of the 4 week budget period
Debt £0 :j
Emergency fund £3260 - more to be added on payday. First target is get it back to the £4000 it was last year before the vet bill and freezer.

I've thought of a few changes I'm making:

1. Work at home one day at least once a fortnight.

2. Finish work no later than 3pm on Fridays.

3. Once a month have a Monday where I start work later and go and have a coffee first - I used to do this regularly and it seems to have fallen by the wayside.

4. Try and spend as little as possible for the first 3 weeks of the budget period and on the weekend before the new budget starts have a treat weekend where Mr SA gets his going into town fix - coffee, lunch out and whatever is top of his pester list that month.

5. I will have a secret shopping day once a month, around payday. I'm going to try and not buy things I need until then unless desperate. I can make a nice day of it, have coffee, potter round the shops, pick up the things I need - separate from the Mr SA shopping day.

Next on today's list is do the meal plan right up until we go on holiday.

Have a good one folks :beer:

I love your new plans SA, they sound excellent ideas to improve the quality of your life .

I hope Mr SA's liver is okay.

The doctor rang Mr SA today and he's been referred back to his consultant as he's concerned the Lymphoma is back. He's got to go for another blood test tomorrow then to hospital when we get back from holiday. To be honest he's got all the symptoms - tiredness, he's had a sore throat for weeks, itchy skin, flu-like feeling, night sweats, he's ticked all the boxes

Fingers crossed it's something else but not looking great at the moment

It was Easter when he got ill 6 years ago, unbelievable

The doctor didn't say he couldn't go on holiday, we'll deal with whatever it is when we get back.
