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

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

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!I’m a Forum Ambassador and I support the Forum Team on Debt Free Wannabe boards and spending & discounts boards.

Evening allDon't seem to have done much today - worked this afternoon.Dog walk first thingStrawberries 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 nowPricked 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
She seems to move in here Fridays after school till I take her back Saturday evening.
Watered pots and hanging baskets in the back gardenMade a nice fish dish for dinner, which we had with home grown vegHope there is lots of money in that forgotten savings account @jadewest943 -

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!I’m a Forum Ambassador and I support the Forum Team on Debt Free Wannabe boards and spending & discounts boards.
