    You will build up the EF, it's been done before and takes time.
    Grab the bits of extra work / OT as and when available and it fits in with your schedules. Do some number crunching to see when the extra doesn't add much and on approach to it slow down.

    Hope your drinks were enjoyable and relaxing.

    Happy fireworks night. 

    Not a bad week here, 2 day Overtime which will help to pay some money to my family member and hubby has put down a day extra for next week. Feeling a bit tired but now have a few days off to recuperate. 

    Next week I am going away with a friend for the night for my late birthday celebration and we have managed to book somewhere very close to an amazing looking cocktail bar so very much looking forward to that.

    Quiet weekend, hubby is working and we were supposed to be seeing family but a c0vid related incident has put a stop to that so may take the boys for a swim and bike ride.  Will also hopefully get to go to the gym.

    Enjoy your weekends.

    Ooooh, drinks sound wonderful and it will do you good being away.
    Dry not to overdo the exercise, the swim will be fun!

    Evening,

    I went away with my friend which was very nice. This week I am working an extra day and tbh can feel it.. I haven't stopped since my trip away and feel tired. 

    Hubby has put in for OT in Dec, which will help. 

    Feels a bit like groundhog day and not enjoying the current money situation with owing money and no EF. I want to have it cleared ASAP but time and payday taking what seems like forever. 

    Goal 1 pay back family
    Goal 2 EF of 1k

  • It's nearly the weekend when you can take 10 minutes for a brew. 
    This stage won't last forever. You've an end date and good plans.
