    Well done with the shopping- you did well with just a tiny overspend and extra gluten free.
    Finances are sounding good - you will be where you want to be before you know it.

    Thank you Hairy and Milann.

    Watched all the singing on Eurovision then went to bed. Didn't sleep well at all. Got up at 5.00am folded washing , had a cuppa and went back to bed. Woke up at 9.15. Plan on just doing the ironing mountain today , have more veg ready for meal tonight .

    Hopefully NSD .

    You're doing really well with the decluttering sunshine. I'm trying, but finding it so slow going. Need a rocket to get more eBay listings, but find it a chore.

    An unexpected day off from childcare , so going to see the hills and lakes instead. The sun is out what a perfect day.

    I am under a lot of stress at the minute , this outing is to be grabbed with both hands. Am sure it will be a bit spendy as well.
    Have a good day everyone.

    Day in the Lakes helped , and the situation is what it is. However I have had to give family member about £1000 to help out with an issue . I have done a money transfer from my one credit card , so my outstanding debt is now £3400 . Whether I will get any of this money back is debatable but it was needed. I could have used my own emergency fund but didn't want to touch it. After I have been away to Jersey I am going to come up with a new plan of debt repayment to get rid of it all by December 2020. The money outstanding is all on 0% until may2021 , so I have extra time if needed.

    You couldn't write what's happened to this person but we are dealing with it as a family and helping out . In other news my dad starts his medical treatment this week coming up , and his other issue is being done on the 26th June . He celebrated a big birthday last week and we are celebrating it with a trip out next weekend .

    Washing is line drying and shopping done a£18.21 . I am in the middle of housework and maybe more decluttering , we shall see.
