Wow! I can't believe it was May the last time I popped in and updated totals!
It's been strangely busy at work considering what's going on and there's hardly any kiddies in school at the moment.
Hope you're all keeping well, I've been a bit low recently but I think I'm ok now x
My pot is steadily growing ready for Christmas, not really sure how I'm feeling about the annual Christmas shopping trip with mum and sis, at the moment any shopping we have bought has been delivered to us what can't be delivered we go without!

Long time, no post! I really can't get into shopping mode unless it's for work. This week though, I popped into Boots so that I won't need to shop again until the masks come off and the loyalty points gained were enough to to push me exactly to my target
No. 6 £366/£366
Boris thinks masks will encourage us back to the High St but I haven't met anyone yet who feels that way! From now on I shall even food shop online (which I've avoided so far to save the slots for others in need) and being without tempation will save me pounds and lbs!
I considered raising my target but in these weird times I've decided to keep adding above the 100% as this will look more positive. I hope everyone is keeping well.

Currently 379/366 I love my weekly supermarket shop (and have done since March). It's my release from the boredom of lockdown. Now going to the gym for a swim 4 times a week - how much have I missed that?!! Loads.. but back to the £24.99 membership - well worth every penny.
