I do love your diet, Mr88man - it's all cake, biscuits, ice-cream and beer. Are you sure you read all the instructions? ; )

That's just the highlights

NSD - literally do not carry money with me so the charity boxes and tuckshops can parade their wares as temptingly as they can,but I'm not buying
Veggie: Another vegan day (uninterestingly exactly the same as yesterday, cereal, fruit and bread, leftover stew
weight: Healthy - except jam sandwich and (wait for it wait for it) a beer the exact moment after I have posted this

make/save - Helped DD2 negotiate buying a new printer and managed to point her to a 4 month HP INC free subscription bonus

I'm liking your type of emergency fund, ours is similar. Real hard core no income emergency fund, and ooh shiny, want it now pot that means things don't go on credit cards.

yes - the credit card does get an outing once in a while, but normally due to forgetfulness (ie have left other cards at home) than need.

at the end of the day my emergency fund is significant equity in the house and quite a large limit on my CC. I know that's not PC round 'ere but it is what it is

Also like that type of emergency fund. I'm going to start a slack emergency fund (SEF) and a hardcore emergency fund (HEF) now.

veggie: vegan day 3 of 3 - cereal, fruit and bread, then 2 day veggoe stew
NSD: on a roll, but OH had long drive today so will be some fuel and travel sweets showing up later

Steps 4200 - managed a lunch time walk
Veggie - no the kids offered to go half’s on a Chinese take out as they have had lots of overtime. A bit indulgent but was very nice. Sat out in the garden and got some sun and had a proper conversation.
MSD - just the takeout

Clean fix - dishwasher loaded and will clear up the weeks debris from downstairs
Make/save. Will have to report another blank unless getting you kids to pay for something you were going to buy anyway counts

I love the kids paying for something I would have....

Great too that the UC is sorted
