Keep calm and carry on....

So, in the interests of sticking to a plan once a plan is made (😂), I have increased my pension contributions this morning and am back up to the maximum my employer will match. I thought if I do it now while my salary is reduced then it will carry on automatically when (if?) it gets reinstated and I don't have to dither about it then. It will also only cost me about £70/month with the current salary, so seemed worth it for what should amount to £3k-ish per year. 

I then (you'll love this 😂) wondered what % increase would amount to an extra £100/month deduction, as that seemed a nicer number. Worked that out and tried to change it again, but frustratingly they'll only allow one change a day (the rogues!) so that's diarised for tomorrow now 😀

Well done! That’s a productive morning!

Thanks! It will all be downhill from here....😂

And it was! Didn't fancy what I was due to have for lunch, so made TWELVE portions of something else instead - that's lunches taken care of for a while 😂! There's an element of self-sabotage in there though, as I'm lacking motivation to cook what I'd planned for dinner, and now can't as I have no containers left for the leftovers. Really must do it soon though, as I bought the veg last weekend (and didn't fancy cooking it then either 😡). Have given the veg the once-over and it's fine for the minute. 

Have just done S&S and think I'm going to settle down with a book and maybe a little tipple of something

But if you don't do it and it goes to waste, you might as well have put money in the bin, SC!!! Don't put money in the bin!!!!

I won't, I promise!

Just did a Prolific survey and remembered both my name and gender 😀

I've also had £3.37 interest paid on the EF, so have paid that across to the credit card that funded it 😀 Feels nicely serendipitous having one bank pay off another!

Have also just altered my pension contributions (again, now that they have allowed me 😂). Er, think that might be it for productivity today....good to get it out of the way nice and early 😂!

Well no one can say you didn’t make an early start! (We’ve both decided to treat today as a work day and have another day off in the week, so have to keep reminding myself that everyone else is on holiday today!)

I feel as though I need to keep reminding people that every other day isn't a holiday - so yes, today is different!!!
