    £1100 for flat roof repairs. 

    The proper tiled roof is now leaking into the bathroom. Have asked 2 companies for quotes for that. 

    Have applied for 2 jobs and one voluntary job.

    £3922 in the bank but £1000 will have to come out of that for repairs to the main roof, completed a couple of weeks back.

    £1000 saved secretly for son 1s wedding.

    At some point I will have to save for a newer car. Mine is now 22 and very tired.

    I had £15 invested on Trading 212 and have made £100, so that's nice.

    The only necessary house thing is to have some electrical repairs done (nothing has worked in the extension in the nearly 3 years we have lived here). The quote for everything, including the new consumer unit, was £1500.

    My job is still poor.

    Little else to report! I have cracked on with the gardening, removing the front lawn and planting wildflower seeds and widening the borders in the back garden.
