Hope the contractors sort things out soon.
Hope you feel better really soon.
Take care.

Feeling much better today and have eaten some breakfast , just staying bland for a few days. Payslip online today and if my calculations are right , I will have an extra £250 left each month and that takes into account the savings I already do.

I think my fuel bill is going to go up as this flat is bigger than my last and has large windows . I have had the heating on already so will have to watch and see. My council tax is £110 a month , but next year in April it will drop again to around £75 . Owing to an error on my behalf I am tied into a gym membership for another 12 months £42 so I am going to make use of it again. Since starting the moving adventure I have hardly been.

My phone contract ends on Friday and I am going sim only , my phone is like new on the outside so will see what deal I can get on a monthly sim only .

I feel very rich , but am mindful that the new job I took on in February was only until April 2020 so with this in mind I will just put the money away in case after April I go back to my old job , I have been told this is unlikely but we will see.

Today I have contacted my pension provider from a previous job for figures to take it early ,just out of interest. It was non contributory so anything I receive it better than nothing , but still being mindful of my situation.

Financially I am in a good position for the first time in a long time , debt free will be late 2020 if I stay in this job, if not then summer 2021.

All sounding good.
An extra £250 a month is fab

Debt free here you come. An extra few hundred a month is great.

I hope the pension holds a nice surprise and if not you have time to make a difference

I'm glad you're feeling a bit better today Sunshine. I hope they manage to squirrel proof your home.

I have big windows in my house and it does help the heat escape, but I like them because of the lovely light that the rooms get .

That's fantastic having £250 a month left over and I think you're very sensible to save the money.

I have made £10.93 today in surveys so have paid it to CC . I am going into work tomorrow, I get cabin fever at home but it was needed.

Well done on ,the survey money - I got so sick of getting screened out I haven’t done one for years.

Got home late last night after having my hair cut , to find the scaffolding is up for the roof repairs , so hopefully it will get done today .

Slept like a log last night, which is unusual for me. It looks very chilly outside this morning so will wrap up.

Have received £7.50 from TCB so paid it off the CC.

Out with a friend tonight for a catch up and a meal. I have £25 left in personal spends so more than enough.

Best go and get ready for work.
