Sounds like my dates this week - still to come: one parents evening tomorrow, 1 drop-off to the next town early Sat morning (with other one in tow as DH in USA...) - followed by return trip in the afternoon to collect the child... (Next week I have one after school (primary) Shakespeare performance (no more than 45min long) to watch..... )
But excellent news about the remortgage! :T - you can wave goodbye to the silly daily interest rate :jI am the master of my fate; I am the captain of my soulRepaid mtge early (orig 11/25) 01/09 £124616 01/11 £89873 01/13 £52546 01/15 £12133 07/15 £NILNet sales 2024: £200 -

Evening all
First NSD for me was yesterday, and I bought garden compost, dishwasher salt and bread today, all glamorous items :rotfl:
I will need fruit and salad stuff tomorrow - I am not good at NSDs as I tend to shop little and often, use markets and walk (where possible, not for garden compost obviously!) instead of drive (so I can't carry all that much)Anyway, 1 / 14, will see how far I get.
Grateful today for nice freecyclers picking up plants that needed new homes, a decent, if coldish day weather wise0 -
I was going to give myself an NSD but then realised I spent some money in the work shop this afternoon. I was just hungry and probably a bit angry. So that's £1.53 that I didn't need to spend.
I posted some ebay parcels this morning from my wardrobe clear out. And booked in a dinner date with a frolleague for next week.
Whilst at the gym today I wore a top that isn't one of my 'go to' tops. I realised why, and so once its been washed it will be going on to ebay too! I wonder if I should wear everything I own at some point over the next month and get rid of the things I don't like wearing!
Today I'm grateful for the free gym at work, for little extra income that all adds up, and as someone else said, delightfully creamy yoghurt!https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/6086606/debt-free-by-23/p1

Evening all
Hugs to mothernerd
I have achieved 2 x NSDs - yesterday and today
I listened to classic FM on way home yesterday and a CD in the kitchen that I hadn't listened to for ages.
No dancing but I went to exercise class yesterday which was quite energetic.
Yesterday I called in at my old (horrible, stressful) former place of work. I had no regrets about leaving even though they had new IT (sorted by me before I left!) and some freshly painted walls.
Gratitudes:
Lovely, friendly new work colleagues
Relaxed tea with DD1 tonight

I do this with my clothes from time to time, I try to work through some of them and if anything rides up, falls down, comes undone etc then I think if I can wear it in a different way and if not I let it go to a better home.Debt Free and now a saver, conscious consumer, low waste lifestyler

f0xh0les - that remortgage has been epic, glad to hear you are nearly there.
Welcome Tanya.
I hope to be productive and motivated today but like you Toni'sFriend some days you just don't feel it. Have sent the kids on the bus today with the last of the bus fare I had from last month, they aren't happy but I am. I did it because I need to fill up and am waiting for my Tesco 5p off voucher - didn't these use to be 10p?
I will report back later.Debt Free and now a saver, conscious consumer, low waste lifestyler
