For those who have asked, I left my job at the start of this diary, like how long can a girl not get paid on time? Moved to another company, loved it, oh I loved it so much. Left it as I moved across the country and in with the BF...the new job I like, living with someone - it's hard.
That's me

Had my brother round for dinner tonight, super cheap and easy dinner, had everything in the cupboard, except for black pepper and rice, so nearly everything
Nothing else to report, need to get into the roof space to get my sewing machine and start using that, I've started to do a bit of research on crafting websites to review what pieces are selling for, which feels quite proactive.
Hope all is well with you

@LexieLou read from the start and subscribed. You're doing brilliantly! Are you marking each milestone with a small celebration; could even be free? I took a picnic lunch out yesterday and ate it with a friend...it felt wonderful. Full of admiration for you and am cheering you on. Love Humdinger xx1

Oh no, nearly a month since I've been here....I'm still lurking (not 100% about the current format of notifications of the posts I'm following -think that is more user error), I will get myself into gear and start making bits and bobs for various selling sites.
Night,

I'm still here and still lurking and so much closer to being debt free.
Re did my SC budget and found an extra few ££ to put towards being debt free sooner. Shaved 3 months off it...go me
Nothing else to add - except I had accomplished 9,995 steps today - got out of bed and marched another 5 steps to hit 10,000. One target I achieved today. yay!
