Powers’s mortgage free thread

An almost no spend day today, I put in to a charity collection. 

Really tired today, work still taking over but had a good evening at home with the boys. I’ve fallen straight back into working from home issues- I haven’t left the house since Monday 🤔 must change that tomorrow!

Definitely plan for leaving the house every day even if just to walk around the block. I got to our local park twice this week. It all helps.

Yesterday was not very money saving! Went to supermarket, I finished off Christmas shopping and T did food and booze shop - £275 all together 😱😱😱 we should only need bread/milk before end of the year and are well stocked with goodies. It’s nice to be in a position not to worry but I still squeaked at the bill.

more money saving was that the refund from the other weeks takeaway finally pinged through. I was expecting to have to chase it. Plan was to OP it but instead used it to offset the big shop slightly.

Ouch to the bill!! Glad you can afford it though.

Weekend has been very low spend- £2.90 yesterday on posting a Christmas parcel. Today went out with fam, my step mum treated us but I left the tip. 

A really nice weekend, seen lots of family and been relaxing. We’ve wrapped half of Christmas but the other is strewn on the floor, just having another rest first! 

Anxious about work tomorrow already 🥺 only 3 more days to go.

Sorry you are feeling anxious. Hopefully it will go well.

work was really hard- I ended up taking some time out today and my manager covered my meetings. I’m going to talk to her tomorrow about how we can make things work in the new year as it’s not sustainable for me at the moment. 

Payday tomorrow, I’ve got £35 left in my account so going to tidy it as an OP.
