Sugarbaby, you looked fabulous, gorgeous dress.  Glad you had such a good time.  

Champagne moment today......another little dollop of money arrived in my bank  account from FIL.  Entirely unexpected but very welcome.  

As well as painting and gardening my intention is to use this time to review my finances again.  I'm going  to switch bank accounts, open a couple of savings accounts, set up a fund for my grandchildren, and take a look at all my outgoings, see what I can "shift and save".  After all the money is better in my bank account ........😂.  

Has anyone else found they are spending less during lockdown......I'm pleased to say I've noticed quite a difference in my spending habits, especially the grocery bill and generally just by not frittering money away on "bargains" in charity shops etc.  It has been quite a wake up call to see how those  small insignificant amounts mounted up.  I won't be gong back to my old absent minded spending again.  

Im reading a book called "Nice Girls Dont Get Rich". So far I've not learned anything really new and it is a bit generic but it's a useful gentle reminder about the importance of good money management. I am resolved that I will learn from the financial lessons of lockdown and I will ensure I don't fall back into my old slipshod financial habits when it's over.

LL i'm spending more on food shopping, because I'm doing it all online, n can't bag as many bargains.
Obviously I'm saving on petrol, eating out n cinema expenses though I'm really having chazzers withdrawals, n haven't bought any Summer clothes, as I got them before Goa in Nov .God that seems like such a lovely distant memory now!.Some of my friends have only just managed to get back, on repatriation flights 😯😯

LL - I have read that book too.

Candygirl - I miss chazzer shopping too!

I was fantasising about going out to a restaurant earlier. That is really one of the things I really miss.
