I'll keep my fingers crossed you're not affected at work. At my last but one office I was made redundant when we had new bosses and then they bought in new people to basically do the same jobs with different titles and less pay probably!!£1 a day 2025: £90.00/365 Xmas fund2

Today I took dog for her drive and I have been wasting time since doing very little! I really must do something!
Strictly was good last night…I wonder who will go?
I made a Santa sack yesterday and it turned out well. It was a bit fiddly though and I’m procrastinating about cutting out for the second one 🙄 I may do it later, but I’m first waiting for MrWW to wake up from his night shift, so I don’t have to break off doing things to feed him 🤣
…and my new coats are still being held hostage by Ev*i. 😕

Hope they don’t mess you about at work.I put 1/2lb on yesterday at SW…..not actually as bad as I’d expected after eating out whilst we were in the mh…..even though I’d taken perfectly acceptable food to cook.I agree the footballer should go. Not sure why but I’ve not taken to him.January spends - £587.581

I didn’t enjoy Strictly last night. I thought the BBC theme was dire. I can’t make my mind up who is worse Tony or Jayde. They both just walk around while their professional does the hard work 😬I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)1

Good morning and happy Monday ☕️⭐️It’s raining and cold and I had a trip into town before work as MrWW’s car was going in for some work…and it would be a very long walk back! Dog came with me, so she was happy.
Ev*I are still holding my coats hostage, it will be a week tomorrow!I shuffled some savings into pb’s yesterday. It’s only a shuffle and not an increase, but there’s a nice round number now. I think savings probably won’t increase much, if at all, until after Christmas as I have some biggish car repairs to book, heating oil to order and then Christmas 🎅🏻 The main thing is that I should meet all these obligations without dipping in, as long as I still have my job. I really need to stop worrying about that as there’s nothing I can do and I’m just borrowing trouble and losing sleep over something that may not happen, or just may not happen this year at least.
I was quite happy to see Jayde go in the dance off. This weekend was not her best and she’s always seemed to be over marked.
i hope you all have a lovely day full of the good things you deserve ⭐️☕️📚🫖Not all who wander are lost - J.R.R.Tolkien

It's difficult to stop worrying when there's job uncertainty, we have a lot at the moment as well. I hope you can get some rest.
I liked Jayde, but didn't like her dance this week and it was the right decision for her to go."Good financial planning is about not spending money on things that add no value to your life in order to have more money for the things that do". Eoin McGee1 -
I remembered to watch strictly on Saturday, but forgot to watch yesterday's. So just watched it and I reckon the right one went this week. Gets more interesting as more competitors are eliminated.£1 a day 2025: £90.00/365 Xmas fund2

Happy Wednesday everyone. I ordered heating oil early so that was another £475 blow, but I’ll pay that back on payday. I’ve booked my car in for its brakes, etc. next month, so that will be approx £500. It all feels very expensive right now!I took MrWW to collect his car from the garage at lunchtime and poor dog struggled to get in my car 😕 it’s only the back seat and quite low, but I had to give her a bum up as she half missed and was scrabbling. Poor old girl 😞 she loves the car too.I hope you are all having a good day.Not all who wander are lost - J.R.R.Tolkien
