I saw a comment tonight and thought of you (and me)

Don't give up what you most want for what you want today. 

I thought it was a good way of thinking. 

That's exactly my philosopy now @moving_forward.  What i most want is to stop working FT and to achieve that I need to pay off my mortgage, so each time i resist spending money on non essentials, i think 'that's a bit more towards my mortgage'. I resisted 2 books in the CS and put away the £3 i didnt spend in my online account that I use for mortgage overpayments  
But you have to find what works for you as we're all different  

I am going to try and ingrain it as a habit. 
I'd love to be PT but have debt mountain and mortgage to go first. 
We can do it 😁

P.s at least blow this month's increase on sourdough AND chocolate  🍫 🥳

@moving_forward - haha yes, how much of both could i get for £9 - not much I actually now have 3 yes 3 boxes of unopened chocs in my house - all gifts.  I do like choc especially boxes of chocs but i am trying to be good as it is DD2's graduation in a couple of weeks so i need to get into my outfit.  
I had a lot of debt but paid it off last year - it's a great feeling to be debt free, keep going....
I just have a mortgage now but also 3 other jobs as well as my FT one, hence wanting to get rid of the mortgage and FT job - i'm tired zzzzzzzzzzzz

Happy Friday !
I got paid yesterday, my salary increase gives me less than £9 extra a month - I don't think it will change my life (my fave sourdough bread in the c00p has gone up 35p since xmas so i can use it for that i suppose)

£9, that’s over £2 per week on a 4 week month Deni…think of the lifestyle changes!

Two extra four pack of chunky KitKat's @£1.00 each 😁 that's one a day sat to Thurs and 2 for a Friday

Woman cannot live on chunky kitkats alone, but throw in some wispa’s, etc. for variety and that would be a very good use of a very mean pay rise! 😁

I’m giving up my vices one at a time…chocolate is quite far down my self destructive list 🫢 What do you put in your mouth when you’re sad or fed up SA? Or don’t you? I could substitute it for wine, but that doesn’t work during the day 😧

Gin, wine or black coffee, depending on the time of day obvs 😆 If I’m sad or fed up I find my appetite decreases and I can’t eat.  I also find listening and maybe the odd bop to loud dance music lifts any sad/bad mood. Also advocate exercise as a mood lifter, honestly it works. Get Fit with Rick walking workouts - highly recommend, he’s as mad as a box of frogs.

Glad you’re getting a pay rise this year WW as you didn’t get one last year. I don’t know how any company justifies not giving one as we can’t say we’re not going to work this year!!  My vice is definitely chocolate I can’t get through the day without it. I’ve had a chocolate brownie today (ok 2) and a bar of Cadbury’s but I haven’t actually had a proper meal. I’d much rather just have chocolate than cook 🍫🍫🤣🤣 I do walk over half an hour to work each day so hopefully that walks some of it off 🤞🤞🤞 xx
