Slipping Through My Fingers

What a lovely night you have planned with your mum. Sounds like fun in my book!

Great news about the Christmas experience savings too - it's always worth a second look before booking.

Hope your medical stuff sorts itself out without any major issues too. Have a lovely weekend!

Thanks HG We had a lovely evening. We also played blackjack which DS joined in with as he knows the proper rules. He was banker and was £3 up by the time we'd finished so that put a smile on his face.

Don't know why the dates and times vs. cost didn't register when I first looked but I got there in the end. xx

Morning

Day 1/30, Prolific £4.19 cleared £4 outstanding, Spends £40
RH: 78/1500 Shoppix: 395/3200

We’ve had a bit of a spend this week and have bought a new dining table and chairs. We’ve had our old one for over 20 years and it was beginning to look it’s age, so I feel the purchase was justified, even more so because the money came out of the CC savings I’d been putting to one side. :T

Spends for the month are in at £250. I’ve allocated £90 to the pots which means there’s £160 left over which gives me £40 per week.

The pots now have the following in them:
Savings: £25
DS Savings: £30
Dogs: £70
Hair: £20
Christmas: £120
Charity: £5
Caravan: £5
Birthdays: £21.84

The outstanding survey money should clear automatically tomorrow so I'm hoping to be able to cash out. I'm not saving for anything specific at the moment so will just add the money to Christmas.

Off to church in a while and after that I've nothing much planned. Might try and find a film to watch this afternoon.

Hope you all have a lovely day. xx

I hope you're pleased with the new dining table and chairs. It's always good to have some new furniture .

Hope you enjoyed your film watching this afternoon. Is DS back at school tomorrow?

Thanks LABMUM, we had a great time. Wish DD could have been with us but she was busy being an adult working her shift. I've been thinking about what I've managed to achieve since I started the pots and it's actually a heck of a lot. Long may it continue xx

Thanks HHD I'm really happy with the table and chairs and it's nice to look into the room and see something a bit different.

I didn't watch the film. It was recommended by Mum but she knows what I'm like and told me to read about it first which I did. It's called Starfish and is based on a true story - I've seen the guy on TV. I will watch it but didn't feel up to it today. I've just been bodging around doing bits and bobs.

DS is back in school on Wednesday. His year don't have to be in until 10.30am so hopefully he'll be up and ready to go, although I have my doubts :cool: xx

Thanks BB50 We had a great time. It wasn't too late a night either which is good these days :rotfl:

The blood test results are a pain. I don't give it up easily and they struggle to get any so I get myself all worked up before I go. What usually happens when results aren't right is I have to go and have extra taken a few times. I'm more worried about that bit than the results xx
