Thanks Jessy! 

I forgot to report the really good news: Only one portion of soup left 😂!

That *is* good news! 😂

It's much more exciting than my wage slip, Vix 😂!

£4.66 in from TCB and paid off the credit card 😀

Well, the money has come in - and gone straight back out again 😦 The pots have been filled up (although already a smidge depleted) and there is enough in my current account to cover the direct debits. And that's it 😯 To the penny 😮

There was a bit left over as I thought though, which I decided to put across to the credit card. That and the 1/8 payment I'd already set up don't seem to have massively reduced the 1/7 payment which will need making this time next month (that's averages for you, I guess - takes a lot to shift 'em), so the mission now is to keep nibbling away at it with every single penny I can get my hands on to try and bring it down a bit more. 

Have a good day all 😀

Pesky credit cards! You can do it, SC!! 

South_coast

Thanks! I really MUST!!!

THE SOUP IS FINISHED 😀😀😀 

I am cream crackered. This does not feel like it has been a 4-day week - and not helped by the fact that yesterday really felt like a Thursday, so today I have had to re-live Thursday all over again. If my brain made any sense then yesterday should have felt like Tuesday as it was only my second day at work - then I would have been really excited for today to be Thursday 😡!

Er, money stuff....there is none 😂!

4 day weeks always seem to drag, it feels like a punishment for enjoying a 3 day weekend! 

That last statement made me lol! 😂

In today's effort to spread awareness of my "not everyone isn't working" campaign, I slammed my lounge windows very hard to draw attention to the fact that I was closing them because someone was stood outside hollering up at someone in the building next door. He did see me, he didn't stop yelling, but at least I couldn't hear him so loudly any more 😦

I feel for you! I’m not working still but am getting woken up both late night and very early morning by people having long shouting conversations - at a distance, with each other outside our house as it’s a main road, usually older dog walkers. We can’t have the windows shut in the heat on the top floor and at the back we have the charmer next door enjoying his grass, so those windows are shut. My friend has relocated to a thatched cottage in Devon in the middle of nowhere, very appealing during lockdown I have to say!
