Time to Face The Music

RelievedSheff

£200 paid off credit card 4 today.

Other than that we don't expect to spend much today. We need some fruit and veg from the farm shop and we might go to Wilkos in town later on to get a few bits.

Breakfast and dinner are from stores. Full English for breakfast of course and dinner tonight is slow cooked wagyu madras with pilau rice, naan bread and samosa. 

We are putting the Christmas decorations and tree up today. We are both like kids about it this year.

Later on we are having a festive socially distanced drink on the drive with the neighbours. Looking forward to this. Not had chance to have drinks with them this year yet!

The festive drink on the drive with neighbours sounds like a great idea. Enjoy 🍻

I keep checking in for menu envy and hoping for more dog pics
Not that your debt busting isn't great but that pooch.......

The dog has been sulking because we have rearranged the living room for the Christmas stuff. He hates change 🙄

Trees up, living room decorations are sorted, lights in the hedges and wreath on the front door.


Need it to get dark outside now. 

As we have some spends left this month we are going to get a light up reindeer for the front garden tomorrow.

It all looks lovely. A light up reindeer will look fabulous. I’ve lost the plot with mine, the tree is done but the rest will have to wait until tomorrow. 

Meant to say yesterday how nice of your work to send a hamper. That’s what I miss about working in the private sector. In my previous job they gave us £500 every Christmas and this was 20 years ago so a lot of money then. Now I get zilch.

They normally take us and our partners for a three course meal with all drinks paid for at Christmas. Not a cheap do when there are 100 odd staff plus partners!

 It is a nice gesture of them the hampers. Will be a good excuse to nip into the office as well 🙂

It won't be no spends today as we are going to get some more Christmas lights for outside in the front garden. There is plenty of money left this month to get them though.

It is payday tomorrow and for the first time in a long time there will be money left in the account. Hopefully next month will be the same 😀

Breakfast and dinner will be from stores. Full English for breakfast again and we have slow roast belly pork for dinner with roast potatoes, roast parsnip, roast beetroot, broccoli, green beans,  carrot and cauliflower. 

We are going to take the dog out for a good long walk in the woods today. He didn't get out much yesterday while we were busy with the Christmas decorations but he was a good boy. Will make it up to him today.

Morning, you’re up early like me. Also payday for me tomorrow. Good to have money left over, one upside to lockdown there’s nowhere to go. Our dog didn’t get out much yesterday either, there was too much going on at home with decorations and the greenhouse. The weather wasn’t great either. Also got to make it up to her today 😁 Have a good one.

I'm awake but wouldn't say up yet. In bed listening to the other half and the dog snoring 🤣🤣🤣

Getting up soon though.
