Today has not been a very productive day. Work up with a headache that has not gone away, even after taking paracetamol and going back to bed.
Have managed a NSD 8/22.
Receive an email to say the savings rate on an account I have £75.00 in has gone down to 0.10%. I think I am going to buy some premium bonds with the money, at least there is a slight change of winning a prize.
Money arrived from Music Magpie today £11.86, that has gone to the Debt saving pot. Was expecting more only I forgot to put all the items in the parcel. That what is call having cotton wool for brains, at least I have a start for my next box.

Weather has turned colder again today and it looks like rain, garden will be happy. Mr D has been to the local recycling centre this morning with all the garden waste we have collected. Recycling centre has been open for just over two weeks and they were very busy, so we have waited and today he drove straight in.
Packed up some parcels this morning that I am going to take to the post office tomorrow when we do our grocery shop, need to do a meal plan for next week and a shopping list.
Yesterday was a NSD and will be today,10/22.

Today we have done our grocery shop spend £50.00 this included a sack of potatoes from the greengrocers, so pleased it back open again. Our daily walk was to the post office to post my parcels, not as busy as I thought it would be which was good.
Also bought a pot of chalk paint for £10.00 to upcycle the table in our hallway which is looking very tired, looking forward to starting on that project next week.
Premium bonds bought with the saving money, will look at buying some more next month. Going to start watch Dedicated Survivor on Netflix this evening.

Our local greengrocer has started a delivery service for a weekly veg/fruit box. They're produce is very good, but it's quite big and £15 so I think a bit much just for me.Good idea going with the premium bonds. I bought some more too recently.Finally Debt Free! - July 2016 🌟
Finished Emergency Fund- £10,000 April 2017

We are growing a lot of veg/fruit/salad stuff at the moment, so luck to have the space to do this. Will enquire in a few months time if our greengrocer offer such a service. Will buy a few more premium bonds next month.
Not a lot happening, I have started my upcycling project which is going well and hoping to finish it in the next few days. Managed 14 NSD's so far this month so will achieve my target of 22 hopefully more.
I have completed the MSE Academoney Course found it very interesting to complete, the retirement section was of great interest to me. Would recommend others to sign up.
Weather here has taken a turn for the worse, rain has been so bad, so no change of long walks for us.

Not a nice day in wales today compered with the last few days and gorgeous sunshine. Garden is very happy for the rain.
Had my medication review and looking to go back to work at the end of July. Going to write myself a list of what I need to get done before then. Plans for today are to tidy and organise my eBay space, planning on getting rid of old stock as I feel like it overtaking me. Car boot local to me is planning to open on Sunday so I will wait a week for them to get all the rules in place then go take a look. So missed the car boot!
Tuesday is payday so also need to print off my sheet to update my finance file.
Mr D is going back to work on Tuesday, haven't been on my own since lockdown started, he is only going to work three days, we both need to get back into a routine.

Morning.
Yesterday was payday, so I need to do some budgeting stuff today. Also have to go to the post office and the parcel shop. Planning on 15 listings on eBay today, slowly working through my stock pile.
Back later with July plans. Going to get the post office run out of the way, so I can concentrate on the day.
