Thanks beanie

Travelling went fine today, took about 5 and a half hours altogether.  Went for a lunchtime boat so had a lovely afternoon with my sister and the kids.  Only spend for today was £8.40 on boat tickets.

Spent the day with my sister and kids, had a nice day doing some errands, going to a play park, going for coffee and cake, watching a film, etc.  And then tea and a relaxed evening with my parents.  My sister treated me while out so only spend for today was £3 on a wee present for OH.

A NSD today

Managed to get a few surveys done, should hit the £25 0nepoll payout in the next week or so.

Should be another NSD, have spent some time this morning looking after my niece, currently out for a nice walk and then away round to a friend's this afternoon for a cuppa.

Have added 71p to the holiday fund from cashback on my chase account. Not much but it all adds up!

Was able to cash out some money from PA today so £5.73 added to the holiday fund.

Up at stupid o'clock this morning, not what you want on last day of holiday!

Travelled back up yesterday, had a lovely break away.  Spends for yesterday were £19.68 on lunch out with family before I left and a pizza for tea as I got home about 7.30 last night plus £17 on parking (5 days parking at the ferry terminal).

I will need to get some petrol probably today or tomorrow and also need to do a food shop at some point.  I've got a £5 off a £30 spend voucher for L!dl so will go there, need to do a meal plan first.  Other than that, the forecast looks good for today so going to catch up on washing and do some gardening.

Spends for yesterday were £41.76 on petrol and £22.50 on stuff for the garden.  Spent most of the day out in the garden - mowing the lawn, planting various things and cleaning the wheelie bins.

Back at work today and it was a really nice shift.  Went to L!dl after work and spent £27.53 after the voucher was taken off.  Popped to Morries to get a couple of things that L!dl didn't have and spent £4.21.  Found a voucher for 5p off each litre of petrol so will use that next time I get petrol.

Up at stupid o'clock again this morning so spent most of the day feeling rubbish, annoyingly now I feel fine and wide awake!

A NSD today apart from some work stuff that will get reimbursed.  Added some money to the holiday fund - £6.12 from surveys and £1.66 from cashback.

Nothing to report from today, it's been a NSD again apart from more stuff bought for work - need to make sure that I get all the money back tomorrow.

Wednesday was another NSD  

Yesterday I spent £9.75 on a takeaway after work as I ended up finished really late due to an incident.

Today I had a meeting at head office in the morning then took the rest of the day off.  Beautiful day so enjoyed sitting in the garden for a while, also got a few loads of washing dried outside.  

Money wise I have no idea what I've done to my budget this month, I've spent far too much on food and currently have around £16 left in the food budget.  There isn't really much for eating in the flat, I've arranged to go out for a meal on Monday with a friend and I'm going to have to top up petrol before the end of the month so I've transferred £100 out of savings and will replace it on payday.  Annoyed at myself but it's done now, I can only try to do better next month.

I've added some money to the holiday fund - £1.01 from cashback and £4.52 from surveys.

My pay slip is through so need to start working on a budget for next month.
