  • Good morning and happy Tuesday 📚☕️🍫
    Still only Tuesday? This week will be a long one ☹️
    The creme eggs arrived yesterday, so I had one after my tea 😋 I wouldn’t want the eggs to go off! 
    The rest of this week and weekend need to be no spend…so hard ☹️
    If I creep back any savings I will need to pay them back and leave myself destitute next month, so I’m trying not to. 
    I hope you all have a terrific Tuesday filled with happiness and chocolates 🍫📚☕️☕️

    Happy Tuesday. You can survive without dipping into savings, stay strong. Can you keep away from your trigger temptations for a week (assume online shopping?).

    Morning all! Having a bonus day at home with 8yo isolating, it's LOVELY 😂 Just settling down to breakfast after reading in bed together and playing some Sylvanian Families. 
    @WinterWarrior am in the same boat - have spent all Jan money and would have to use pots for anything else - determined NOT to! I won't let January beat me! 💪🤛

    Lucky @elbree, that sounds wonderful.
    and thanks everyone, January is so long. I really want to get my savings to a certain point by July, but it’s always a bit grim ☹️ At the moment I seem to shuffle it from one savings account to another without increasing it very much 😖

  • I won't say how many creme eggs I ate last night @beanielou but it was ultra greedy of me 🐷🐷
    In my defence It is all WW's fault mentioning them in the first place (and the fact I am a greedy chocoholic who doesnt need a single excuse in the world)

  • put it on your payday wishlist.  50p investment could net you a prize, failing that a very nice creme egg scoff
