Sorry about your back. Hope it eases quickly.
I've got money left over too this month, which has surprised me with all the work I've had done. It does feel good though xSeptember 2017 Debt = £25330

My back is now ok, I am being careful with walking down pavements.Shopping done for another week , so quiet in local Aldi . Have been to DDs and dropped some things off there . Called at my friends whose birthday it is today, I sat in the porch on a stool and she sat on the stairs. I have been on a walk, very windy but dry at least. My car boot seems to be stuck shut, thank goodness I got my shopping out before it happened .I have booked theatre tickets for next April for my mums 80th Birthday . Have asked the car mechanic if he is doing any work , he does it on an ad hoc basis as he has another job as well. The local garage are very good but their labour charges are high.Going to get my washing on now and put clean bedding on.Life is an adventure, never stop exploring.2

The OU course sounds interesting.The tickets for your mum’s 80th sound amazing. I’m still gutted we had 2 shows cancelled - can’t wait to be able to do things like that again......whenever that’ll be.
Take care this weekend - don’t want to hurt your back again.January spends - £587.583 -
I've booked the ballet for next year too. We're going to see Swan Lake. I'm sure my DD will love it xSeptember 2017 Debt = £25330

Glad to read your back is better, sometimes it's the smallest things that set it off, I hurt my back sneezing years ago and had to have two weeks off work 🙀 . Also glad hear your office space is working out, is in your bedroom or a spare room, it's nice to be able to shut the door on work if you work from home xOriginal Debt Owed Jan 18 = £17,630 Paid To Date = £6,510 Owed = £11,1202
