I am being upgraded from Mum to Nan - I need a plan!

All good then

It's been a busy month.  I logged on a couple of weeks ago to update my diary and totals but was interrupted by the phone and work has kept me busy.

This month has been a good month on the whole.  Plenty of NSDs, debt repayments were made and I've now had my final dental bill so definitely a one step forward two back there but the work needed to be done and at least it's all over now.  I will have to visit the dentist every 3 months to monitor progress and for deep cleaning.  I could have ignored it all but there was a serious risk I could have ended up losing some of my teeth so I think on balance I would rather my debt increase.

I met up with my friend which turned out to be a cheapish evening but I have also met up with my cousin twice and they have turned out to be fairly expensive evenings but it was nice to catch-up.

I have cashed in quite a few of my Nectar points building up a bit of a spare cupboard for toiletries, cat food and other bits.  I thought it would be cheaper that way but my word, I think I have gone a bit overboard but I won't need to buy anything other than cat food for at least the next 3 months.  I tried to rationalise these spends as 'inflation proof'. 

Work is still going well.  Should find out about payrises in the not too distant future so fingers crossed for a decent one.  Other than my daily commuting costs, I have no planned spends for the rest of the month.

DD is looking very pregnant now and my Grandson is as gorgeous as ever but he's going through a very weird phase at the moment.  I hope his mood improves by next Thursday otherwise I shall cancel my day off and work instead!
