    @RelievedSheff see what offers you get from the others. Sounds like the boat market is booming though. 
    The boat market went mad last year when people realised they were not going to be able to go abroad. Looks like it is set to continue this year.

    £150 paid off card 4 today.

    Other than the above it should be a no spends day but the other half is at home today so who knows. He might decide he needs something.

    Breakfast, lunch and dinner are from stores. Breakfast was toast, lunch will be a pizza and dinner tonight is rabbit stew with Yorkshire pudding and greens.

    Todays jobs include:
    • working from home
    • vacuuming the house
    • load of washing
    • walking the dog
    The other half is going to make a start on the downstairs loo today. He has some filler to rub down where there were some shrinkage cracks and then he is going to paint it today I think. He doesn't think he is going to have time to do all of the wall panelling but said he might make a start on it.

  • Never tried Rabbit stew.  We used to have a house rabbit so think I may have some trouble getting past that.

    Getting close to that £20k milestone. Is your husband furloughed a week at a time?

    Yes he is on a flexi furlough. They are swapping staff around a week at a time depending on what jobs come in.

    We think he is back as work next week but we wont find out until tomorrow.
