I am away at the moment on a short break by the sea .

Trying to be mindful of spending money on coffees and teas . Have had amazing weather so far and it has been a blessing .

Back to work Monday.

That sounds lovely, have a good time .

Back home now after a pleasant few days away.

Payday today so have spent sometime moving money around to various pots. I had a £10 credit on my sparks account , so have ordered some new underwear. Cost me £6.00 . Have bought a gift card for £25 to go to the friends who put me up as a thank you. Needed a card for Australia, have had to moonpig it , as it is very soon the birthday. Also have £7.47 in PA trying to get that to £10. Have around £12 in TC . Will be using it all this month as extra income, have a trip to jersey and a big birthday for a relative to pay for. I checked my credit card today and it is down to £2520 . The lowest it's been in a long time. I have bought my premium bonds again today, thanks to Hairy .

Nothing planned for weekend , apart from shopping and ironing.

Sounds like you’ve had a lovely time. Enjoy the weekend and whatever it may bring....

Did your dad help you with your cables? We have a drawer of doom in the kitchen full of carp. Last year I took all the chargers out and put them in a carrier bag and threw them on top of our wardrobe with the intention that if they were still there untouched after a year they could be binned - a couple of days later DH asked me where his charger cable was for his bike lights was :eek::eek: was very puzzled when I said probably on top of our wardrobe :D. I also did the same with all the loose keys that were lying in the drawer too! Xx

I missed your post BY50 , the cables were indeed decluttered, out of my drawers , straight into my dads shed. Don't ask , it's like an Aladdin's cave of junk. Your charger story is funny .

Shopping today £2.15 over budget, blame it on Aldi. They had some gluten free biscuits in and they are very nice £1.15 . I also bought a magazine for once 90p . Not so bad in the grand scheme of things. I allow £30 weekly for shopping , this week I got more gluten free items from Aldi as well as the biscuits . Tomorrow I need petrol , and to double check my accounts .

My fridge is full of healthy food this week, I am usually very good with fruit but have failed on veg recently. Tonight's tea is steamed veg and rice topped with grated cheese.

Eurovision tonight , may have a little look.

That sounds like a very healthy meal Sunshine .

It is really hard not to overspend when food shopping, especially when all the prices seem to be going up.

Have a good evening with eurovision.
