Slipping Through My Fingers

Morning Everybody

Day 30/30, Prolific 82p cleared, £1.50 outstanding, Spends £0

I was hoping to hold on to my last £4.90 but my Avon order was delivered yesterday and took every last penny I had plus £2 of hubby’s money :rotfl:

It’s the last birthday of the month today so we’re off out delivering gifts in a little while. Definitely need to get that birthday pot up and running. Even £10 a month would help.

DD has been asked to work some extra shifts this week so it's just as well she’s in the house. It would take her about 1.5 hours both ways on the bus from here and she only works 2 x 3 hour shifts so she’d spend as much time travelling as working. It only takes her about 20 mins from the house.

Can’t say I’m overly enjoying the weather. It’s too stifling for my liking but it’s been nice to have the doors open, mainly because it means the dogs can walk in and out without me having to get up every 5 minutes

Looking forward to the new month starting. I think I’m all sorted with what’s going where, I just need the money to hit my account and then I can get cracking with dishing it out.

Hope you all have a lovely day. xx

Glad DD has some extra shifts .

I'm not massively keen on hot weather as it saps the energy, although it doesn't bother me as much as it used to now I've finally stopped having hot flushes. I also think being thinner than I was keeps me cooler. But I'm still not a fan of heatwaves. I prefer sunshine and about 18 -- 20 degrees.

It a bonus that the dogs can come and go as they please though, I bet they're delighted .

Can't wait Beanie. No idea why but I feel like I've lost my way this month. xx

Evening HHD Blimey if you've done everything you've done over the weekend with sapped energy you must be on fire when you really get going :T :rotfl: The problem in this country is we don't have time to aclimatise ourselves. Sometimes it feels like we go through all 4 seasons in a day. xx

Morning

Day 1/31, Prolific 82p cleared, £1.50 pending, Spends £35 1st-7th July
RH 766/1500 Shoppix 2885/3200

Another new month and a clean start :T

I have £285 this month. I’ve put £35 to one side for general savings so I’m working with £250 for everything else. Total paid into pots this month is £85 + £25 into the Target Pot = £110. That leaves me with £140/£35 per week spends.

Pots are looking a bit sad but apart from my savings and DS savings they all work on a money in/money out basis so will never have a lot in them. Totals with this month's money are:

Savings £25
DS £10
Dogs £20
Hairdressers £20
Caravan £30
Target £43/100 + £25 = £68

I’m gathering all the money in for the Target Pot today so it can be crossed off my list. I think my only spend will be £4 to top this up to the £100 I was aiming for.

Weather has changed completely here and it's raining. Hope you all have a lovely day. xx

That's brilliant Tink. Well done. :T I'm finding them a bit slow at the moment but I'm halfway there to cashing out another £5. xx
