Learning to walk before I run

Thanks @Baileys_Babe - I am trying to remain positive (and trying not to think about a couple of pieces of work which may run late when I'm off)

Did anyone else see the Ch@se savings account article? Nice!

Just skimmed through your diary - hope you recover from your injury soon!

Updated the spreadsheet this morning and it turns out that two wrongs do sometimes make a right   I missed the fact that a RS payment of £200 had gone out, so our balance is actually further into the black than I thought, which nicely cancels out the forgotten Utilities payment.

£228.08 paid off CC.

Right! Time to blast through my last day - sitting down is sore

But you are managing to sit down, which is great if painful progress

I hope your injury doesn't impact on your ability to enjoy your holiday. Be sure to gently stretch out that hamstring, even in bed, gently straightening that leg and flexing your toes towards your knee will help

@Suffolk_lass - thank you - off to see a physio today 👍

Physio was very good and it feels like I'm coming on leaps and bounds already (not literally)

Lots of financial activity as it is coming up to the end of the financial year and I've been making extra payments to reflect the payments that I would usually make up to next Wednesday (we're on holiday Saturday to Tuesday). I also got c. £8 from TCB and won £25 on the PB draw. Since yesterday:

• £1,212.52 paid off CC
• £195 paid into SIPP (birthday money and an extra fiver) - £243.75 after tax relief - future Mr E says yay
• £11.28 OPed and paid into ISA

Great progress Ed, physically and financially. How do you know about a PB win already? My app says check tomorrow!

I put £1k into premium bonds this month - very excited to see how quickly I get the email telling me I've won    That is how it works right?  Good news on the physio.

@themadvix - was the last draw the March draw? If so, website says I won £25 🤷‍♂️
