Moving forward and upwards

Put out the flags. Sound the trumpets. Tombo noticed!!

Pleased for you. Good your seeds are popping up too.

He couldn't help but notice SH as he kept poking his head into the shower room and chatting while I did my brows and lashes, thought he was going to bring a chair in while I did my legs. I also sat on the sofa with hair dye on for an hour.

TomBo does like it when I've had a pamper, but said it's up to me if I want to do it more frequently.

I look so much better and I've caught some sun.

Good to hear you’ve had a relaxing pamper day & a bit of colour from the sun will give you a natural lift. 😊

Thanks Skinty

It was hard getting up today, but at least the run in was easy due to school holidays.

I'm swaying towards being mortgage free and working PT, those few days off felt so good.

The sun is out and I'm grabbing 5 minutes of it!

Went to T after work, grabbed some hair dye, t-roll, bulk bags of pasta, multipack tins, big box of cat food etc, a few packs of meat, a bit of fruit and veg, dairy and bread products, nut snacks etc and some reduced meat and fruit; filled my boot and passenger foot well. Spent £77.

Filled my car, cost £43.

Thank goodness I'm growing more of my staple veg items this year. It will soon be cheaper to get all my meat from my local butcher too.

£86 in the bank, £2 is bank fee, 18 days until payday and looking forward to having BH Monday off 😃

Pleased your pamper went well.
Good to read your growing plans.

Sounds like a good hoard for £77. How much is petrol a litre where you are now? Was £43 for a full tank. Do you not get a BH day off for Good Friday as well as Monday

Thanks DIA and Skinty

Just the Monday off, as I've a mix of local and national ones throughout the year.

Petrol was £1.58.9, it took me back up to full from a quarter of a tank. I do 300 miles for my commute and have to fill up each week. I can get 7 trips and 1 local shop out of a full tank, but I prefer being able to go straight home after work as it adds to my tiredness levels, hence why I usually fill up on the weekends. 
- the first £160 of my wages each month is earmarked for petrol, just so I can get to this job.

Garden had a good water overnight.

That’s a good price for petrol it’s 162.9 here!

I'm lucky having a T petrol within a few miles.

TomBo likes his new job, big contrast to the last one and I'll be taking advantage of this 'window'.

I've updated my CV, will sleep on it overnight and double check I'm happy with the wording, then I'll start applying for jobs. 

It's been raining nearly all day, great for the garden and saves me doing it. Temperature keeps fluctuating.

We're having chilli and rice for tea.
