    Bbq breakfast was lovely this morning. We had that and then set out into Derbyshire for a walk with the dog. We ended up going further than expected,  but it was worth it. It was a lovely walk and the weather was warmer than forecast.

    Sounds incredible! Must give that a try!

    £200 sent to Card 4 today and £200 sent to Card 7. Other than that it is a no spends day. Number 14 of the month.

    Breakfast, lunch and dinner will be from stores. Breakfast was a sausage sandwich, we have both taken our packed lunches to work and dinner tonight is slow cooked BBQ beef ribs with root veg mash.

    No jobs to do tonight after work other than taking the dog for a good walk. Need to take it a bit steady today though. I have woken up with a sore knee today. Must have tweaked it yesterday.

    Only one more payment to card 4 - go you!  Great progress, and good that you will then be able to make at least a bit more of an impact on C6 ahead of the 0% ending. Assume you have that diarised to look for a new deal? 

    Your walk looks glorious - it's definitely a bit of the country we'd like to do more walking in!
