    Payday for me too! Isn't it great to siphon bits off and see pots rise!

    Happy payday to us 🥳 That one day of the month when you have money until the direct debits start going out the following day 😆

    So true…that brief feeling of richness 🤣 my mortgage goes out on Monday, so I’ll have a whole weekend of wealth 😅

    It is! My pots will go down this month as I have some expected and saved for car expenses….but, I eventually managed to get to a point where I could separate my pots away from my savings. So even though they’ll drop, they’ll go back up over the year without my savings going down. It’s th3 first time I’ve got to this point 😊

  • Happy payday. I got paid on Tuesday but it’s been such a hectic week at work (working 10 hour days) I haven’t had the energy to money shuffle yet. I’m hoping to do it at the weekend. Most of my direct debits go out tomorrow so my account is still looking quite healthy 🤣🤣. Only one day left until the weekend. I’m sure we can all get there xx

    Good morning and happy Friday 😁☕️🍫 We made it! It’s July already…soon be Christmas 🤣
    I have today off as I needed to use up flexi time and Fridays are the easiest to book off meeting wise. I will go to Ldl so it frees up the weekend. American week this week, so I’ll see what delights there are. Other than that, I’m not sure what I’ll do. 
    Dog refused to go out with her dad before he left so I’ll have to get up soon as she’s moaning now. They have a bit of a double act going, as he whispers to her so she won’t hear him and then he can say ‘dog won’t wake up’ and then go to work without taking her out..and she pretends to be fast asleep, but the minute the door shuts she’s shuffling and clearly not asleep. Then she doses for 10 minutes before reminding me we should go outside instead of sleeping in. They are both sneaky.
    I hope you all have a fabulous Friday, with the lightest, easiest work and full of good things 🍫📚🍦☕️

    Thats a wonderful place to be in regards to savings and pots @WinterWarrior :).  I had a look at the L!ld leaflet this week and absolutely nothing appeals so I think I'll probably go to @ldi instead tomorrow.  There super6 this week includes new potatoes and mushroom which I need so that works out better for me.
