Three years to get debt free

Wrote an update and lost it, which is annoying considering it takes me double the time with my wrist.

I've spoken to the dr this week, and they have agreed that work is not the right place for me at the minute and signed me off.

Not being able to drive was a blessing today in this weather. -6 when I got up and then a snow flurry happened. I have been using the electric blanket all day rather than heating the house. I didn't even realise the house was cold today until I went to the toilet. 

I've brought the rabbit in during the winter months anyway and even the conservatory dopped enough to freeze his water so he's in the actual house tonight. I've never know that since having him. I checked this water lots today and it was frozen over, which I kept changing. I also noticed a lot of bird feet around the water so they must have been grateful that they had fresh thawed water too. 

Splint is hopefully off next week so I can get back to driving and a sense of normality. 

Money is fine. I'm not able to go shopping, I've not used fuel. Car will be having its service and MOT so that will likely just take up the remnants of what I've not spent. 

I won £70 on local lottery event thing. I've left it in a bank account i don't access so i can't be tempted. 

I do need a fair bit of shopping this weekend. Hopefully i can manage to get there.

The weather is bad enough here and we’ve not really had snow. 

Hope they get the splint off next week for you to get back to normal.

This is my current area. It's predicting thick fog tonight.

Oh my days 🥶 We’ve had frost here but no snow. How can the weather differ so much in such a small country. Are you on the west side? I’m in the East Midlands.

I'm North West near to Manchester. Even in the city there is a huge variety, some.og.my colleagues have had nothing!

I tried to save myself more money last night by changing my broadband. My current plan is £46 when normally I've been low. I went with that as my Internet wasn't great for zoom calls and I can't say I've noticed the difference. My old is due April, so I booked change for March and my new provider would give me £100 to cover the exit fees. Got an email from my old provider and the exit fees for the month was £324. I've had to cancel my new plan and wait another month to start it up again. Couldn't believe the fees.

At least my mobile is now £8 a month. That's at £42 saving. Eventually the internet will be £25 saving, so for January it will be starting the year saving on bills. 

Decluttering continued, all paperwork box has been organised and sorted and filed away. That's one of my worst jobs and I've done it!

Car had its MOT and service done. That was £225. No advisory bits either, but it needs brake fluid adding so I've already booked that in to be sorted. At least that is done too for another year.
