Meet up with friend was as though we had seen each other last week rather than 14 months ago. The big shopping centre has lots of closed shops so sad , I hope new stores can move in and bring jobs back to retail.I have been in work this morning as I usually do on a Wednesday, next week I am working three mornings in work to cover for someone on leave who works from the office all the time.Tomorrow I am meeting up with 5 colleagues for a team lunch , looking forward to seeing everyone.My salary has been allocated to the usual pots and I have put all the extra in Premium Bonds , I am just going to keep putting my money in the bonds .I did treat myself to a new top from Fat Face in the sale last night but that is it .Looking forward to sewing bee later.Life is an adventure, never stop exploring.4 -

It sounds as if you had a lovely visit to the big shopping centre with your friend. I’ve not ventured there yet.It is a lovely feeling not to have to pay out your wage to debt payments 👏👏January spends - £587.584

That must be a great feeling not allocating that money. I am looking forward to that day too.
I think I know which centre you mean and I haven't been across to it yet. Such a shame so many businesses not survived. xSeptember 2017 Debt = £25330
Starting afresh.
