Thanks Skinty, DIA and SW

I'm aiming for a minimum of £300 O/Ps each month, anything over this will come from my unspent petrol budget.

I've been regraded, but they're put me on the temporary salary and said it will increase to the next one (the one they offered me) when payrises take place. No explanation or reasoning provided 😐 

We went to T this evening and I picked up some jeggings, sports bras and pumps, plus wine for TomBo.
- I'm popping to m-talan Friday to pick up tops and leggings.

While shopping I picked up some eggs, 'feta', cucumber, salami and fruit juice plus the usual cupboard and freezer items. 
- with the salad I'm growing I can have nice lunches and have been influenced by Skinty eg couscous salad, egg salad, salami couscous salad and they're cheap too. The juices are to make sure I'm getting enough fruit.

Got up this morning to find out I've won first prize in a raffle, a gardening voucher 😃😃 just have to wait for it to arrive then I can see which nursery I can spend it in. I've mentally spent it on fruit trees already, just have to decide what to do with the leftovers.

This has made my day!

How fantastic is that. I am refusing to get up today. lol. So far i have washed up. I might vaccuum and mop. Still undecided. It is great to do nothing.

Thanks SW, sounded like a great day!

I grabbed some salad from the garden for my lunch. Had eggs, cheese, couscous, lettuce, raddish and salami.

Had a rubbish work day and to top it off I'm having to cover another role when the person is on annual leave. Seems I can cover various jobs, but no-one can do mine and by the time this person returns my role will be full-on therefore no chance of having time off until the end of the year. I keep telling myself to think of the monthly pay packet and the reducing mortgage.

Pulled a garlic up and we had homegrown garlic and onion gravy with sausage and mash, ice cream for pudding.

Just about to have third garden time 😃

Can move money to savings tomorrow as it's the 1st of the month.

Got up early as there's a few baby seagulls around, a pair live on the roof of the next building neighbour and they run up and down it all day crying for food. Wouldn't be so cute and funny if it was my side attached to that building!

Saw 2 rabbits in the other next building (my side, but unattached to my block) neighbours garden last night, didn't take my phone with me therefore no photos. 

TomBo has gone to SIL's allotment.

All bills paid, money to to savings and everything (personally) is going in the right direction.

Popping to the butcher's in a bit to collect the rest of my order for this week, it will get me away from my desk before I throw the laptop under the next passing bus.
- Decided when I'm properly back in the office, I'm wearing dress-down all the time due to my role change.

Tomorrow I'm going to m-talan for tops, leggings and a look, see what else they have. Tempted to buy another pair of trainers from T when I do the shopping.

Baby seagulls are lovely the big ones are quite loud. Well done that all the bills etc are paid. Happy shopping, it is great that you can wear what you like to work. Another summer month let's hope the weather gets better.

I've got to see adult ones quite close and appreciate how big they are!

Everything got too much for me today, the straw broke the camel's back happened and I burst out crying during a quick training session. The person has offered to train me on the aspects which I'm covering, is appalled with the size of and what my role now consists of and doesn't think I should be covering or expected to cover when the other role is filled.

Have to water the garden in a bit as it's been hot all day.
