Quick money news:
Saturday was quite spendy
Baby shower craft £19
food £16
bus fare £2
chemist £8.50
ive managed to not spend anything since! I’ve got £34 left in my current account. It’s Ts birthday on Saturday, I don’t have to do a present as we are going away next week but I will probably treat him over the weekend. I’m not going to spend more than £34 before I get paid on Thursday.Joint account, I’ve redirected the payments that don’t come out in feb and March, £100 to extension pot, £50 to quick access savings and £35 towards mortgage. Joint pot is looking healthy as we haven’t really done a big shop since Xmas.A money win is that I did a bank recharge for some of the train tickets from my trip last year. I’ve had a dispute open with the French train company since august and it wasn’t going anywhere. Hsbc did the recharge in a day and I had £757 in my account! Not my money but a weight off my shoulders.Plan today is essay writing and running club later. It’s another cold but beautiful morning 🌅 🧊MFW 2021 #76 £5,145
