Today I have done the usual housework , made celery soup to freeze for lunches in the coming weeks and done a 2 mile walk, not far as it started bouncing down.This afternoon I intend watching Netflix, doing some paperwork and generally relaxing.In good news I now have more in savings than I do debt as predicted my loan is below £2000. I feel like the end is getting nearer .Life is an adventure, never stop exploring.4

Well done on having more savings than debts Sunshine
.
I think the tiers are very confusing, especially the regional variatons between tiers. People aren't going to be able to do much at half term if they are in Tier 3. It does make me wonder how many people will just ignore the rules and go their own sweet way 🤔.
It seems to be raining everywhere today 🌧☔, but hopefully it will improve. Have a lovely weekend.

Good news on having more savings than debt 👍 Hope you enjoyed your relaxing afternoon. I’m a relatively new convert to Netflix, although I don’t have time to watch a lot of television, I wouldn’t be without it now.I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)3

Have just watched Rebecca on Netflix , not sure if it's like the book because it's one I haven't read . SA I never watch much tv but have enjoyed having Netflix .Life is an adventure, never stop exploring.4

Going to watch Rebecca tomorrow. I’ve read the book several times, I love it, also love the original film. So we shall see...I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)3

Great news at news on the savings front SG! Won't be long now till the debt has gone with the wind!👍
I think Netflix is great value at £5.99 per month! I always find something to watch on on Netflix. 😀
I will be watching Rebecca later - as I've written before, it's my fav novel and I'm a Rebecca snob when it comes to film/TV adaptations of it. Like @Sun_Addict I love the original 1940s Hitchcock film with Laurence Olivier. I'm rather nervous as I've seen the Netflix trailer and it's not calling to me.....Finally Debt Free! - July 2016 🌟
