Ongoing Journey to being a Frugalista..

Having a great weekend thanks, weather is gorgeous after a cold spell last week..
Another  card has had a big chunk paid off. It’s left us very tight now but should be doable and mid June another card will go then just leaving the final one....  However that’s the biggest one  (yep saved the best  for last , actually it’s on 0% for longest too) ....if we can’t get away this summer that should be toast by September? But tbh am still hoping there may be hope. Things are changing so fast so am remaining optimistic whilst I can.
Lazy  day today. Nothing planned. Unprecedented (sorry couldn’t resist using that word ) 

have a great day all

Oh beanielou, thats a lovely thing to say, I’m so touched. Thank you so much xxx
Am just getting through the week, but loving the weather. Still exercising loads which is good  but no spare money, not a cent to play with  in the YNAB budget and OH doesn’t get paid for a couple of weeks - eek.  So just hunkering down....
Have  a good day all Xx

That moment where there is no slack in your budget - that is what @BusyMee1 refers to as 'tension' - it just sums it up really. A kind of self-imposed pressure (intentional or not) - you will do it

Two weeks is nothing at all. 

You can do it 😃 xx

Thats a BRILLIANT term.. love it SL...I have just told OH and we will be using that term lots over the next few (ie 14) days (see what I did there..somehow makes it feel easier!!), 'tension' sums it up perfectly (thanks BusyMee1 too!)

Thanks ladies and gents. Enjoy your weekend x

Thanks beanie... You too.

I also was going to write that the girls have been going back to Fareshare and having a ball. Its pretty busy though DD2 was out on the vans last week and loved it, DD1 was on the more usual picking, but nice to see them working as no joy with any other applications luckily we dont need it but they both want to earn some extra cash. DD1 particularly, university is not cheap and we have just paid for accommodation for next year.

Also had a good spring of the kitchen and the linen cupboard. Gave lots to a good home so that hopefully is a win/win. I have smashed my declutter target and they get essentials to set up a new home.

I have also just clocked 100km of runs over the month (so two months in a row) which is solid and all being well a 10km planned for tomorrow...no weight loss to speak of though   Peri-menopause? And I have not done enough online classes but did manage 8. Couple a week is not bad plus some PE with Joe and the family as well..which is tough work, he does like his squats and duck walks (needless to say I dont  )

Trying to not to spend money this weekend...wish me luck

Easy to not spend money when we really cant go out   xx
