It's the middle of the pay month most DDs have gone out . Got my final energy bill this morning from my old supplier so need to move some money across from another account.

The £25 has gone in from switching so that has gone to my retirement fund . I have had my second to good to go shop yesterday , it was from the local market . I shared it with my DD and I will be making soup with mine tonight.

The price of my food bill has definitely increased in the last couple of months , but as I am not using much petrol about £25 a month rather than the usual £80 it is ok at the minute but if we ever go back to normal life I need to be wary of the rise.

Have woken to snow so a complete change from yesterday but at least no travelling to do .

Pleased we have no snow but it’s a grey miserable day here.
My food bill has gone up a fair bit too. But we aren’t eating out anywhere so I’m saving on that. With being off work I can’t remember the last time I put petrol in my car. Dh is alternating between using his and my cars. I’m not convinced we need both cars - it’ll depend what happens with my work I suppose.
Little monkey sleeping all day and staying up all night.....bless. Hopefully your dd is getting lots of rest at other times 🤞

I got some good news today , I am getting a new works laptop and phone tomorrow just need to collect it when I go in work.

I have been gifted a baby high chair by a fellow grandma who has finished with it. It looks like new , I will keep it in the store room at my flat until it's needed .m
The best news though is my big boss phoned me to say that I am staying on my new grade permanently from April so no salary increase but no going back to the previous grade . This is great as I can now make financial plans for the year .

That's good news about your job and being able to plan things a bit more, oh dear on the baby being up all night, my youngest DGS was a terrible sleeper when he was a newborn, he's not much better now to be honest, my DD is still sleeping with him because he just won't settle otherwise. That's nice of the fellow grandma to give you a high chair as every little helps as they say. I borrowed one for my house when I looked after my first DGS but it's gone back to my niece now, now mine are older they can use a booster seat at the dining table, not that they are using it at the moment because I haven't seen them since Christmas Day due to the current lockdown
