Will do @Sun_Addict will be later today.
Up very early today and I’ve already cleaned up from last nights merriment. My friends are still sleeping so I’ll let them snore on
PAD of £1 sent to CC7 this morning. All told, last night cost me about £40 with takeout snacks and drinks so that wasn’t too bad. And I have drink left over for another time. If we had been out in town I’d have spent more than double that.
Today is another spendy day as I’m spending the day with the girls, but tomorrow should be better I think.
Have a good day!

Later start for me today, must be late nights and early mornings catching up with me. I do like my sleep!
I have had one of the best weekends in a long time and have laughed so hard I've cried. I have spent quite a bit of money though so I have pulled some funds out of the overpayment pot. The rest of the month shouldn't be too spendy but today I am heading to the shops with hubby and we are planning on eating there too so today won't be a NSD either.
PAD made this morning, £1 to CC7, still 19 days to pay day
Have a fun Sunday

Definitely not a NSD for me today, I paid for us to have lunch in a restaurant that I have been to a lot (and love) but hubby has never tried. I'm sure he would have been happy with a subway or McDonald's but it felt like a date today as we had both made an effort so I wanted to have something nice. Hubby bought us cinema tickets and we watched a film whilst we were out.
I have no plans tomorrow so that should get me back on track though.

It truly was a fab weekend. Back to reality today though as I've been so busy at work I haven't even had time to update my DFD until now.
I did pop on first thing to make my £2 PAD to CC7. Today is NSD number 6 for May and I have no plans until Thursday so I should be able to get another couple in this week. My target for May is 13 so I think this should be achievable at the rate I am going. Glad I got a good few in at the start of the month again.
No other updates from me, all seems a bit of an anti-climax after the weekendBut you know what they say about working hard and playing hard.
Hope you've all had a great Monday

happy Tuesday guys, I hope your weeks are going well.
I am off on Friday so it's another short week for me. No plans, but will be pottering around the house and will probably take the dog for a much longer walk.
Today is a NSD for me, I need to stay in for a delivery for hubby. So that's number 7 for May. Tomorrow won't be as I am having my nails done after work and then I am out for lunch with friends on Thursday. They aren't huge spends, but are not essentials none the less.
Still nothing from the tax man so perhaps I am not getting anything at all? Ah well, whatever will be and all that. There have been no dramas regarding money in the LMD household for a long time and this kind of stability is very welcome. We have house savings for anything that may need fixing or doing in the house and we both have surplus funds available to deal with anything left-field. I can't remember the last time I used my credit card for anything that I didn't pay off before the transaction even appeared on my online account.
All in all - feeling good!

Went to dye my hair after work and I'm out of my hair colour, so I will need to remember to order some on a spendy day! Not messing this one up so late in the day
First world problems eh?

Good morning all, I see the weather from yesterday didn't last! It's raining quite heavily here this morning.
PAD's made this morning, £1 to CC7 and just 37p added to my car account to round it up. Today isn't a NSD as I have a nail appointment, I haven't been for ages so I am looking forward to having a pamper and a chat with the technician. I must remember to order my hair dye later too.
I had an email this morning that I'd had an online letter from HMRC. I've just checked and I've paid too much tax for 21-22 so I have been able to claim £60 online to my bank this morning - I'm assuming it will take a few days to arrive. It must be the 20-21 I had a notification for before, no wonder I was so confused! To be honest, I've never been very good with maths and figures...
Anyway, a very busy work day ahead of me, and I can't work over as I have to go out for my appointment so I need to get a crack on. Hope you all have a great day!
