It won’t be much of a saving maybe a pound a day max but it’s a better way to start and end a shift IMO😂 I had a very chilled day and got a few things done, dreading this week at work so it’s nice to feel sort of organised.

Aye I get that, I fond my drive home gives me a chance to prepare for work ( on the way) and brain dump onnthe way back, for a while Mr El had to drive me as we shared a vehicle ( remember when Mr El had his works vehicle taken off him) 

I struggled with it, was great to talk to Mr El but I actually needed that brain space to prepare and dump. 

I would love it if I lived 20 mins from work by walking that would be even better . 

Every pound saved is a pound towards buying butter

oh yep you cant forget the chicken, you really should look at teardrop caravans ... or buying a wee van like that lassie we met at Glen Trool and doing what she did much cheaper, or there is always a tent  and crocs

I need to stop looking at anything right now, batten down the hatches, pay off debt and save as much as possible!  Just listened to Martin's forecast and it's bleak!

Work has been hard the last couple of days in the heat, it's cooled down here this evening and thunderstorms seem iminent.  Seven more work days before I leave...

I am thinking of doing a shop from home thing for August and trying to keep costs as low as possible while clearing out lots of things I have bought and not used.  And I shall get ebaying! I know I keep saying this but I used to do it weekly, but then again I had a 35hr 9-5ish work week so life was simpler.

Shop from home sounds a good plan.

I need to sell more stuff too.
