:rotfl: I have had to be trained but am growing to love them Beanie.. maybe it’s a question of time??!
Quiet day. Should have been working but instead worked in the garden (oh and ran 8k. PF- that was hard work in the heat!!) All neat and tidy now after the winter and my window boxes are respectable againAlso had a lovely tea in the garden with OH as DD2 had scampered off after a few hours revision.. there’s got to be a balance I guess!
Hope everyone is enjoying their weekend x0 -

Thanks beanie. Have rashly entered myself for a race in a few weeks so has best keep up with some training.
It’s funny about spreadsheets, it’s the progress I am finding gripping. You just can’t see that kind of progress with YNAB. I should be a nose in front by September, into the sunny uplandsby December and into a new phase of my life in April.
Need to keep my head down and keep on going on
Have a good evening ladies

Eggcelent (sorry I couldn't resist :rotfl:) work on the run. I must go today, it's been a week and for most of that I had shocking tooth ache so a run was out of the question. Feeling better, so will be out later, before it gets too hot though.
Great work on the money progress. I love a spreadsheet too, I tried ynab but it didn't give me the flexibility I can have on my sheet. You just need to do what ever gets you the end goal. Have a great rest of weekend. Purps.0 -
Planning on going out soon for another run but much cooler today. Fine but feels much better time for a run. Will try and do 8k again I think. Then off for an impromptu BBQ with friends. It will be a nice way of easing back into a working week. All meat to take to the BBQ is from freezer so just a top up shop of salad to have this afternoon and some bits for dinners and lunches next week. I will walk to the SM so I can't buy too much
Finding myself quite restless but also flat at the moment. Its a ongoing thing at the moment since some disappointing news at work. Can't quite shake it off. Not like me at all. alongside work, part of it (most of it?) is spending hours just gazing at my debt and investment (ie. net worth) spreadsheets and feeling what a long road it will be to get sorted and to 'zero' but know I just need to keep on going on. OH being very supportive of getting to zero. We have uploaded some items onto the Bay so fingers crossed.
In fact that might sort my mood (at least temporarily) I will go and declutter 20 items. To feel freer.
OK, back later when I have decluttered0
