Morning All
Day 18/30, Prolific £0, Spends £34.15
Lay in bed last night thinking I'd have to actually go shopping this week instead of doing it on line when I had a brainwave and realised I could use DS's laptop while he was at school :cool: If there is a silver lining to my laptop giving up the ghost it's that it's still in warranty by 3 weeks, so it actually broke at a good time. :T
Quick shopping day today as I was on my own so I've already been and I'm now back and sat with a brew.
DD is really pleased she got the job and is just waiting for some paperwork to go through then she can start. She expected it to be minimum wage which I think for her age is just over £6 but she'll get an hourly rate of over £8.
I've treated myself to a few bits and bobs, make-up, wool etc. so spends are now at £34.15 I've also bought the dogs some toys that you put treats inside. One had them had them out and gobbled in a matter of minutes and is now asleep, but I'm getting my monies worth out of the other one who is still chasing his around the room.
I'd forgotten I bought fish and chips at the weekend out of the caravan pot so I was telling a bit fat porky pie when I said the pots hadn't changed.
Savings - £20
DS - £60
Dogs £65 - bought toys
Hair £10
Caravan - £26
Target £36/100
Right, think that's all for now. Hope you're all OK. xx0 -

That's great news about your laptop, my things normally break 3 weeks after.
I'm sat in the middle of the month trying to keep budget on lockdown and not winning. Have moved looted children's pot for £50 towards music lessons. Going to use the full £122 out of having no cleaver savings towards DD exchanger trip next year. Luckily at £375 it shouldn't break the bank as can pay £50 a month.Finally Debt Free 24/4/20230 -
