NST March 2019: WINS against the debt

Fmess

Congratulations to dd Apple

Spendy day yesterday on lunch from school. Did a short dog walk as felt knackered last night. No wonder as I’m up at 5am again and did get to sleep until after 10. Today is going to be hard

The goal isn't more money. The goal is living life on your terms.

apple - Well done to DD.



Beds are all stipped and in the first load is in the wash, will peg out after the school run. Cycling this morning, then shower, coffee and re-make the beds. Need to walk the dog and steam clean the floors after lunch.

Date night went well. We survived throwing axes, which is a bonus. She had paid for the tickets (which was £40!!) and I paid for dinner and drinks which game to £50ish, so no NSD but I had a great night.

Today should be a NSD, taking me to a shockingly bad 9 and if I'm organised, I'll get another over the weekend. Ah well, I knew it was going to be a busy one. April will be different!!

Just a quick update from me. Broke my 17 days no drinking streak and went out for dinner and drinks. Got quite tiddly as you can imagine because my tolerance was down. I should have only had 2 drinks but ended up doing that and then sharing a bottle of wine. on NSD 14 from Wednesday.

Another result of the alcohol intake was that I ended up paying for the whole dinner. Was not too bad 40 euros for 2 but the dinner itself was not worth it at all. I could have done better myself at home.

My fave restaurant here serves pupusas (a food from El Salvador) and meal for 2 comes to around 25 euros for 2 poeple withe drinks. I'm going to stick to what I know for now.

So that's my budget gone for the weekend, but no plans really I can't imagine I'll spend anything much. Going to a museum with a friend tomorrow but she owes me some money so she can buy if we have any drinks.

Thanks for the great quote apple and for offering to run april dolly

Have a lovely weekend everyone

Today I am grateful for birdsong, for chatting with dd, for smooth travel, for travelling through some beautiful countryside, for a fine time with mum, for good finds in the ch shops, for a catch-up with an old friend, for a peaceful evening, for a gorgeous sunset.
