    Hello, I’ve had such a hectic week and don’t have much to report except that Payp@l have finally added one of my SC cheques to my account and my credit score has absolutely plummeted from a bad 726 (fair) to 614 (poor) I’m not too worried about it as I don’t know that I’ve ever had a good score really

  • I am pleased PayPal have finally applied one of the cheques, hopefully, they will apply the others very soon. 🤞 that PayPal applies the future payments promptly.

    Hi
    its been a while. Work has been so busy recently I haven’t had time to post. 
    I have a really heavy cold at the moment, it’s been all around the house, fortunately last weekend I meal prepped a load of meals to reheat during the week so we’ve got through it without having to do too much. 
    we are in local lockdown, it’s been a week now. I think this will help me to save some money this month, last month was not good for spending - mostly on food. I was so busy at work I completely lost track of my budget and was buying take out and it was all a big mess.

    Debt wise not much news.

    This weekend will consist of laundry and cleaning again. I haven’t got anything done through the week and I will need to use the tumble drier due to the storm.

    Morning, awe nothing worse than having bad cold especially with work being so busy and you’d really rather be having a duvet day. Meal prepping is a great idea. Today’s plans for me are cleaning and washings to, ooh how exciting  :).  Take care x

    Well done with the meal preparations last weekend. It is dreadful when you are ill and all you want to do is sleep and recover but you have others you need to look after, prepare food for etc and on top of that you need to work. I hope you manage to fit in some rest and recovery time in over the weekend as well as the chores.

    Thank you @Parkyp cleaning and washing seem to be the main things I do on weekends these days 
    Thank you @Baileys_Babe I'm currently having a lie down on the sofa with my son. Definitely feeling much better today.

    Morning
    Had a huge surprise today, I had expected my UC to be cancelled automatically due to my increase in pay in September. This is not the case and I have been awarded £260 this month yay! I can add this to the Christmas fund :)

    Be careful @natlie it might get recalled at a late date as if often takes time for government departments to catch up!
