Time to start a fresh.

So checked my bank this morning and noticed that my gym membership has still gone out even though I've cancelled it so I'll be phoning my bank and I also noticed another random payment to a company I've never signed up to, it's for £30 so I have emailed the company ASAP!

Nearly all bills have gone out today just need to pay my rent etc which comes out on the 14th! Now I have roughly £200 until payday, but I'm doing the NSC for this month

I've made £24 on prolific in two days and cashed out and today I've made £15

With a little bit of self control and bags of determination, it is entirely possible to live off £50 per week. 

I have conditioned myself to live off £150 a month for the last 6 months, I didn’t need too but it has helped me train myself to know that if/when that time comes, I can do it. 

It’s hard, very hard, but definitely doable! The NSC is a great way to train yourself. I did from 15th to 29th last month as No Spend, with the absolute exception to bread and ham for my lunches.

Like @MrFrugalFever says it is doable to budget £50 a week. You are very good at being organised with your meal preps and lunches aswell as your home baking 😋 so fingers crossed for you.
I usually find it the unexpected that scupper your plans like a friend out the blue wanting to go for coffee or lunch etc.
weather here as been really warm although cloudy past couple of days, the weather forecast says rain this evening. I put three loads Of washing on the line sat outside drinking my tea and all of a sudden downpour  rushing to get washing in.  It lasted for 5 mins 😤. now I have all this washing to be dried I might just stick the clothes horse outside that way if rains agains it’s easier to just lift in.  I know hardly end of the world problems just annoys me 🤣🤣🤣

Haha! That's so annoying when that happens! It's been raining here since last night unfortunately. That's a good idea aha!

So, I've done housework today and this evening I'm spent making some bath bomb my OH bought a kit for me for Christmas just gone and I've only now sat down and made some. I'll make some for my sister for Christmas this year! On another note I've been thinking of getting into resin such as making keyrings, bracelets etc. Only as a hobby to keep me entertained after work.

Today all I’m doing is changing the bedsheets and putting the hoover around. I need to make the work lunches for the week and need to pick up some small bits for the roast dinner this evening, I’m going to budget for £10 for my top up shop later on.
