Thank you, Apple, but in the scheme of things at the moment minor irritations really, I suppose.
Got an email from our holiday cottage. A lot of changes and things that they want us to do to keep things safe. A bit of a faff but it's encouraging that they are taking things so seriously to keep their guests safe. Just going to take a little bit of planning and organisation but I'm fine with that. Better safe than sorry and I'll just be glad to get away.Have adventures. laugh a lot and always be kind.5 -

Final score of 22 NSDs for the month. Sounds impressive but I still spent most of my money! Although all debts and savings were paid as planned and I managed an extra £50 repayment to my car. Thanks for running the month ccl, see you all in September.5

I think August for me ended as a bit of a car crash, but it did contain a promotion, a reduction, an unexpected financial reduction, promotion presents, and school uniform + shoes. Some of it was expected, some of it was a surprise, but luckily it can come out of savings, so not a disaster. That is what the emergency fund is for. Those unexpected little things that come along and blindside you.Thank you for the challenge CCL See you all in September!4/10/22One Year Mortgage Free Yay!

Thank you for August ccl. I've had a lazy day. Used food leftovers for lunch, mum wanted soup for tea, I finished more bits off (used crab pate to finish the broken crackers, spread it on the larger bits then put a dollop on the plate and made a sort of mini crab snowball with all the tiny pieces). I gave us both a sugar free jelly with berries in it and let mum finish off what was left in the vanilla ice cream tub. I was too tired to even pick up a needle to sew. Went outside but only as far as the bins (currently at the back of the house.
Today I am grateful for not needing to be anywhere, do anything or make any decisions.My mission in life is not only to survive,but to thrive and to do so with some Passion, some Compassion, some Humour and some Style.NST SEP No 1 No Debt No mortgage4 -
