My journey to a debt free life

I love reading at the minute it is my escapism into a happier world. 
I'm also no longer apologising for other people's poor behaviours so don't blame you OBL.
That walk sounds lovely. We have done ducklings near us do were visiting them quite frequently x

I read constantly, I get panicky if I don't have a book on the go😂 we saw ducklings on the river a couple of nights ago, mummy duck was trying very hard to keep them all together but there were two who kept wandering off 🙄

Your walk with B sounds lovely and I'm glad you managed to get the food you needed 🙂. Are you at work tomorrow?

I love Agatha Christie. The stories are very of their time, but they're really good murder mysteries and great escapism.

I'm back to work on Wednesday but only on a late so hopefully won't be too bad 😊

I used to love going to see Agatha Christie plays at the theatre with my mum. They do a summer season of them at our town’s theatre every year.

Could you get your prescription delivered by Boots, they do a delivery service. Tried to get Mr SA’s through them but doctors refused it.

I used to love those apricot jam Swiss rolls from M&S, my mum used to buy them, didn’t realise you could still get them, yummy 😋 

I'm not sure they would deliver mine because I'm able to go and fetch it, I am part of their ordering service though, they send a request to my surgery for a repeat order of my meds then I get a text to tell me when they are ready to be picked up, it's normally quite easy for me to get them because I go into town quite frequently 

I love M&S Swiss roles, the apricot one is my favourite because the flavour reminds me of an apricot tart my Nanna used to make, they also have a coffee one that is yummy too 😀

Woke up to a dull rainy day here today, the garden needs it though so I won't complain 😊

Im checking my bank today because it was payday yesterday so I need to move some money into my savings accounts,I like to do this as soon as I get paid so the money doesn't get frittered away,I still can't be trusted not to have a mad spending spree, it's even more tempting now I can't actually go shopping which is just daft😂I'm discovering I'm definitely a boredom shopper so the answer is to keep busy 😀

I've done my banking so my budget is sorted for this month,My pay was a bit lower this month so I just moved £100 into the Christmas fund and kept everything else the same,I really want to keep Christmas savings on track so I'm happy with £200 at this point in the year,I will normally manage £50 a month into this account so I'm on target for £550 at Christmas 😀🎉😀🎉,I do sometimes use this fund for birthday presents as well but only if I haven't got any spare cash that month,I should rename it the present fund really 
Next months wages will be a bit better I think because I have done more unsocial hours so I will be able to save more hopefully 

B is also due her worming and flea treatments so I've kept some money back for that,I'm hoping to go and sort that out on Thursday 

Today I decided as part of my allotted exercise time I would walk to the post office where my local shopping centre is to return the jogging bottoms from M&S so that will be £25 winging its way back to me 😊

I also popped into the pet shop to buy some pumpkin seeds for the 🐓🐓 they are for Babs mainly, she is a bit off colour and doesn't seem interested in corn, but yesterday I put some pumpkin seeds in the run and she devoured them,I only had a few left though so bought some more,I put an apple in the run earlier and she had a peck at that too,the problem is that Ginger is like a tank and whenever food appears she wolfs it down like there's no tomorrow, poor Babs is very ladylike and pecks very politely at any food but Ginger eats most of it before Babs gets a chance to eat much,I was in the run today and picked Ginger up so Babs could get to the food but Babs didn't like that I was holding Ginger and just stood there bocking at me until I put her down again 🙄
They are both getting on in chicken years though so i think I will be lucky to get another year with them to be honest

Im having the rest of my roast veg tonight for tea with nut roast and broccoli so I don't have to cook much this evening, tomorrow I'm working a late so will just take a packed lunch with me and some nuts and cheese cubes for snacks, I've also had a yearning for a pineapple upside down cake so I might make one on Thursday, the other food I've been eating is Greek yogurt because it has good protein levels,I do buy the one with honey in it though because I can't stand natural yogurt 🤢

Hopefully it is nothing too serious and she just and a day where she wanted pumpkin seeds instead of anything else. 

I don' like just natural yogurt either and always add honey to it too. I didn't think of buying one with honey in! I have the dairy free version and it is really nice. 
Hope work is ok tomorrow x

I imagine M&S are thinking that the big supermarkets are still selling clothes so they can if they set it up the same?

i love hearing about your chickens, hope Babs is ok now she had the pumpkin seeds. 

The weather was a lot different here today as well, I have had my heating on. 

How old is your youngest GS now ? I saw my 2 today at a distance and they seem to have grown. GD was running towards me but she stopped and shouted grandma the virus is still here, don't come near me ! It made me laugh.

It stopped raining at about 4.30 so I was able to let the 🐓🐓out, Babs is definitely not right but looks ok, she keeps just standing in one spot not doing anything which isn't a good sign,she looks really healthy though and has amazing feathers at the moment so I don't know what's going on apart from old age

My youngest GS is just over 9 months old, I was supposed to looking after him from May the 7th but that's not going to happen now, my daughter has been keeping a lockdown log on FB so posts photos of their daily activities every day, he isn't going to know who I am by the time I see him again, I've spoken to my daughter once on the phone since the week before we all got locked down but apart from that I haven't heard from them apart from a couple of texts, I phoned her and thought I would wait to see if she phoned me.......I'm still waiting 😟

Thats so funny your GD saying that, she has obviously been paying attention 😀

That's what I was thinking,I really wanted to have a look around but felt like it was really naughty so didn't 😂I'm not sure if I will ever be able to shop for non essentials ever again 😀
