Evening
it's a bit cooler in the NW of England but no rain so far. Heating will be staying off until DD2 comes home on Friday for the weekend.
Bought some food today and my fave wine as it was on special offer so that was a saving really

Loving your style @Deni_debt-free_dreamer!
Have been trying very hard to make it to payday without spending but will have to shop tomorrow - no food for 8yo pack lunch on Thursday otherwise. Only 1 day early though and hopefully should still have £60 left in account to transfer to savings on Thursday. Could be worse!6 -
I ordered and paid for the pet food, so the money has gone down 😖 Nearly £200, they are so expensive! I could have got a fair bit of special offer wine with that!Not all who wander are lost - J.R.R.Tolkien

Good morning and happy Wednesday ❄️❄️❄️Just a bit of snow on the ground this morning!
@Sun_Addict just a month. There are 4 cats and a large dog that all like the dearest of foods and copious treats though. It doesn’t even include litter….and sometimes needs a top up. Every morning the dishes all get scraped out into a pasta bowl which I take outside and throw the food under the trees for the birds (they wait for it 🤣), then clean dishes go out. I expect if we ignored the top up demands and flavour refusals it would be a lot cheaper. If the cats ate off the floor then dog would snaffle the lot, but she’s tubby enough 🙄
Just work today and nothing else planned.
Pay day tomorrow and counting the hours, which is ridiculous as it’ll just be a money shuffle and spreadsheet update, rather than a fun spend 😬
I hope you all have a fabulous Wednesday filled with all good things ☕️📚🍫🧁Not all who wander are lost - J.R.R.Tolkien

Puss cat has an Ikea plant stand as his feeding station. It means his food is just out the reach of dog but she does give it a good try 🤣Dedicated Debt Free Wanabee 🤓

So looking forward to payday tomorrow, I love shuffling money around! I'm going to add up the savings tomorrow too and it should have gone up, some 😬
This month is all about saving for Paris 🎉🎉5
