  • Yes, I put my spare change in a jar as well and I log how much I add/take away. I use it as an overspill for the month and then what I don't spend, I bank and put towards bills. Quite a handy little back up and it's fun to keep adding to it :) it's the small things, hey?

    Sounds like you've had quite a good/relaxing day. Hope the rest of your week is a good one.

    steps - 724 : then my fitbit strap broke!!
    big vegan curry for tea, but not veggie as meatloaf sandwich for lunch
    NSD - getting in the midweek groove
    weight - quite healthy except 2 custard creams in monthly meeting

    clean/fix - dish wash first thing
    save/make - free proper coffee at work - and super frugal drive down motorway to other office

    bit worky today, so not much energy for other things
    I think I saw you in an ice cream parlour
    Drinking milk shakes, cold and long
    Smiling and waving and looking so fine

    Not veggie as needed to use up ready meals DS2 didn't want for tea
    Weight - ok until friend came round with beer crisps and chocolate. But only 1 of each

    I'd count taping up your strap as a temporary fix :D

    No, 'stylish' would have been using duct tape, for that genuine Blake's 7 look.
