Today I am grateful for being able to run for buses, for lots of sunshine, for a workout, and a swim, for getting online stuff done, for my washing machine, for dd having another good day and even enjoying the sats texts, for being outside.

Though no one can go back and make a brand new start, anyone can start from now and make a brand new ending.

I have returned from a week in Spain in which I wasn't counting my spends. That's part of the enjoyment of a holiday; in being able to save enough that you don't need to worry about it whilst you're away. So anyway, I'm on 4 for the month so far but I will rack those numbers up over the 2nd half of the month.

Hope everyone is ok.

Hi everyone!

Sorry I've been awol - have really enjoyed catching up with all your posts this morning though.

It's a holiday here in Madrid just for today (san isidro - saint of farm labourers/animals) so we are going on a day trip.

Not doing too well with the NSDs but spending has been kept to a minimum.

Need to do more exercise though.

Thanks apple and greent, I'm going to speak to my landlord and see if she can ask as she knows the cleaning lady and I've met her only once.

apple that's fantastic you read that! I haven't tried anything like that yet....

Enjoy the day everyone.

NSD No 8 (seems ages since I managed one).

Wednesday, so Himself is out with a friend and I've been left to my own devices. I do like a day to myself now and again.

Did a few things that I can't do when he's here (he gets in my way and asks stupid questions but I love him anyway). House looking nice and tidy and I'm just about to make dinner for myself and then settle down with my book.

Really like this quote, thank you applemuncher :A

My update from today:
Budget - low spending all within budget, not overdrawn this month and will be able to manage until payday on Monday but also got expenses cheque from PT job when i can get to the bank (which is 20 miles away!)

Enjoy the month - at my self employed job today and tomorrow so happy to be there.

Read - did some last night and will try to read a bit today - reading Testament of Youth and it's just got really sad

Reduce - had to buy basics today but stuck to list and budget. Got free lunch and we all got an ice cream in the afternoon as it was hot in the meeting room!

Increase walking - done well yesterday and not too bad today

Move it - as above

3 gratitudes: free lunch; clean bed sheets that were line dried and smell wonderful; lovely message from DD2 who's away at uni

Take care everyone
