Its not too late to sow peas (as in peas in the pods peas?) but may be a bit late for sweet peas. B&M had sweet peas in the outside garden centre bit a couple of weeks ago at £1 or so a pot if that helps.
I saw the beauty box too, want to try the Pai decolletage cream so was very tempted. They had some lovely linen stuff in.My mortgage free diary: https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/6498069/whoops-here-comes-the-cheese

Best win so far - holiday to Florida0 -
Well yesterday was a washout. Walked up to the park to meet DS - as soon as we got there the rain came down and it was torrential. I got absolutely drenched! We went back home - I got in the car with the dog and Mr SA had to go back on his scooter. The kids were crotchety all afternoon as they wanted to go on the park. DGS's behaviour is terrible, I can see why they think he might be autistic. He was lining his cars up in colour order and screaming at anyone who went near them.
Anyway today has dawned with sunshine and blue skies. The plan is to do some gardening, lots of washing, ironing and make a plan for June goals. Should be a NSD too.
After doing finances yesterday there's nothing left to save this month plus will have to shave £80 off the June budget to make up for May's overspend and clear the cc. It also meant I could only pay £100 off the debt. I'm so cross with myself
The priority for June is to pay off the holiday balance, all spare money will be thrown at it. It comes off the card on 12 June.
Tomorrow is the start of a brand new budget and time to start afresh with a brand new attitude.I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)0 -
The Ibiza holiday sounds fab - just up your street! I last went there in 1978 so things have probably changed a bit!
Sorry to hear of DGS's troubles but agree that depriving him of his toy cars isn't the answer!:eek:
All going well with the job - which is good to hear. Hopefully Mr SA will tackle the garden as his new hobby.
Anyway new budget for June so onwards and upwards!Finally Debt Free! - July 2016 🌟

That's Monday done
New budget starts today, determined to stick to it. Took the £80 off needed to clear the Tesco card then divided what was left into 4. Going to try to put £20 a week towards holiday out of this but just to not go over budget will be a bonus.
Yesterday was NSD 1 of June, today a low spend one just £4.08 in Lidl. Also AFD 1 of June. Went to the gym at lunchtime too. Starting as I mean to go on
