    Thanks for starting a new thread @Betharooni. I have noticed that too @DawnW - I hope they come back soon :neutral:

    There hasn't been a lot going on myself but to maintain to a few things I have committed. Work has been terribly exhausting these past few weeks I can barely catch up on other life things. My list so far: 
    • Check bank account, Update diary
    • Overpay credit card once extra shift money comes through 
    • Continue to commuting in reducing transport costs - been fairly okay on the Tube this past two weeks 
    • No takeaways
    Have a blissful week everyone. 

    My Debt Free Diary: Virgo In Pursuit
    Debt-Busting Progress: 2020: £13,200 | 2020: £9,200 | 2021: £4,900 
    2022: ongoing

    Good Morning everyone

    Hi to all of the regulars and a BIG welcome to all the newbies, this is a really FAB thread with so many lovely, caring, considerate and supportive people.

    Wow, where is this year going and time in general - my DS is 18 today, which just shocks me.  Apologies for not posting we've had a few rough days as DS has had a really bad cold (which he has now kindly passed to me), we've done tests and definitely not Covid .  No big plans today as he is off to watch the big match tonight with his mates (and he definitely wants no fuss so has gone to work as normal):

    Check Bank & make PAD - Done
    Swagbucks (swago board) -
    Ironing -
    Bake a cake -
    Enter a few comps - 
    Purge a few emails - 
    Read -  
    All meals from cupboards/fridge/freezer - 
    Checked: Lucky Bob, PMP, WinaDinner - 

    Have a good day!

    Happy Birthday to your son Ziggy - where does the time go indeed!
    Today's plans:
    Dog walk (done)
    Pick strawberries, loganberries and broad beans (done, loganberries frozen)
    Sort out items to take to my sales unit - done, now need to price them up.
    Make a cake of some kind - I will see what I have lurking and use that!
    Triage fridge - I bought a big larder fridge recently (no not one of those huge American things, I don't have the room or the budget) and find that I need to consciously go through it every few days /week to ensure that nothing lurking at the back goes off and gets wasted.
    Claimed £15 of Amaz*n vouchers from survey sites :)
    All meals from home / garden, no spending today.

    Evening all, seems quiet! After I found the savings account in the attic I've found a website that can trace missing accounts and they've emailed me today saying santander might have found it and they will send me a letter within 28 days!

    Evening all :)
    Don't seem to have done much today - worked this afternoon.
    Dog walk first thing
    Strawberries from the garden for breakfast (and pudding). I will miss them when they are finished, but I noticed that one or two raspberries are coming now :)
    Pricked out lettuce seedlings which I have managed to get to germinate at last (they don't like to germinate in hot weather)
    Small spend today - noticed a DVD at work, on one of the other dealers' units, that GD might like. Alice in Wonderland, £2 never been out of its cellophane wrapping.  Defo worth it if it keeps her occupied for a while :D  She seems to move in here Fridays after school till I take her back Saturday evening.
    Watered pots and hanging baskets in the back garden
    Made a nice fish dish for dinner, which we had with home grown veg :)
    Hope there is lots of money in that forgotten savings account @jadewest94 :)

    Evening all, 

    not motivation at all recently  and in other news my car has to go into a garage soon I’ve been putting it off for ages! It’s at a point now where it’s becoming dangerous to drive. I need two new wheel bearings and that’s roughly £95 each and I know it needs other work done but I just can’t afford it and it’s stressing me right out! :disappointed:
