  • Hi everyone and happy Wednesday. ✨🎄
    WWdog seems to have perked up and after a week of seeming to be very elderly she is now getting up and down the back step ok and eating better. 
    I had the work review yesterday, even though we all thought it was due January, and have submitted no changes. I will now be holding my breath to see if it goes through or if I’ll have to fight for my job again 😖 it’s hard to believe that the location I work in can cause all this stress and they don’t seem to care (higher up) if you do a good job, just that you fit in a new box of their making.
    Other than that, I have Christmas completed, have been keeping a check on unnecessary spending and still have my pots untouched this month. It’s been harder as I had to fund my pots for the money I took out in November as well as Decembers 😬 If I can hold my nerve then January will be easier. I am still enjoying ynab. I did have a bit of confusion as my credit card is showing in credit, but I think it’s because something I ordered on prime isn’t being dispatched until the end of January. I’m guessing there was a marker for it, which I paid, and then it hasn’t taken the amount out yet as it’s not being sent out for ages. I think I will just cancel the item as I really do not need it! (A £28 wonderskin lipstick). 
    I hope you all have a great day ❄️⭐️

  • I'm sure that £28 will be gratefully received by the car or garage pot!
    Glad WWDog is seeming brighter

    No…..you don’t NEED a £28 lipstick. Think about it and cancel then polish that halo 😇 You’ll get more pleasure in getting yourself where you want to be financially than pouting with a lipstick 😂😂😂

    I’m so glad both you and WW elderly dog are ok 🙂

    Definitely ditch the lipstick, far too expensive. Rimmel do some really good ones for a fraction of the price.
