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 ❄️⭐️Not all who wander are lost - J.R.R.Tolkien

I'm sure that £28 will be gratefully received by the car or garage pot!
Glad WWDog is seeming brighter2 -
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 😂😂😂January spends - £587.582

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.I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)2 -
