IKEA biscuits are great. I think it’s actually illegal to leave the store without a packet of them 🤣🤣🤣 WW I really hope you manage to save enough for a spaceship 🚀 that would make the scrimping so worthwhile lol xxslowly working towards being MF one small over payment at a time :T2

Thanks @southern_chick, I’m not sure where I would keep it, but it’s something to aim for 🚀
I don’t want the button moon bean can version either!!
Today we had a nice lunch out and then (drum roll) I changed the bedding AND did some cleaning 😮 while MrWW tackled some weeds on the drive.I’m looking forward to next weekend when my replacement paint arrives so I can work on my little house 😬
I have another Friday booked off, so this week will be a wonderful 3 day week…I have high hopes of surviving 3 days without too many tears (but never say never). I’m aiming for no spend days for the rest of the week. I have £20 pocket money left until my reset on Friday and I’d like to save that.Not all who wander are lost - J.R.R.Tolkien

You can do it, think of the spaceship!!!!!
I have a little house at the bottom of my garden, it doesn't need decorating though, and smallest dgd always brushes all the spiders out of it when she comes!! Her older sister is scared of them, but she is quite fearless!! I have a sheep called Sarah who lives in it throughout the cold winter monthsand I've been making a little cottage garden at the front of it, yes it's a Wendy house but as it has a door bell we think it's a bit of a posh one

Good morning and happy Tuesday ☕️☕️☕️☕️☕️Work today 😖 Nothing else planned apart from the usual jobs and not spending. The big dd’s went out this morning, so my main account is back to ‘grim’. No sign of a pb win again 😢
@nannygladys I think fairies probably live in your posh house!I hope you all have a fabulous day filled with happiness and chocolate 🍫📚☕️🧁Not all who wander are lost - J.R.R.Tolkien

Good morning!
Same here, main account shows £28 this morning. 😱 I know it should be ok but it's scary to have such a small amount 24 days before payday. I'll have to keep an eye on it so I don't accidentally go into an unarranged overdraft.
I love your short weeks, only 3 days for you until the weekend 🤩01.12.2020 - CC £16,839 / Loan £18,820 / EF £0
03.07.2023 - CC (0%) £9,859 / Loan £0 / Savings £10,1102 -
Happy Tuesday from Lanzarote ☀️Hope you manage to stash the £20 🙂I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)2

PBs tomorrow fingers crossed. I've persuaded a friend to wait to cash in half of his until after the draw so I'm hoping he wins something (he usually does) or I may be in hot water.

Thanks everyone, I hope you have lovely days…especially you @Sun_Addict in sunny Lanzarote!
I thought the ‘big pb’ announcements were early and the small ones were a day later? Not that I really know as I’ve never won anything 🤣Not all who wander are lost - J.R.R.Tolkien

I think you are right about the big ones being earlier but I tend not to think about those as whilst I am not unlucky I'm not lucky either. So far I am on schedule for the 1%, well the 10 months worth so far since I added a lot. Which is a lot better than the rubbish I was getting on the accounts they were in.
