Thank you Jwil.
I lost 3lb in my first week despite meal out. Hopefully I can do the same or better next week as I wasn't fully on plan.
I seem to be on a spending spree currently. Need to apply the brakes. Spent a lot more than planned at Mr As and bought more art stuff and clothes elsewhere. Will reduce next month's budget for clothes and art accordingly. Just over 2 weeks to pay day. Hopefully things will settle down soon.
Got a friend coming at the weekend to make art. Looking forward to it.Achieve FIRE/Mortgage Neutrality in 2030

Thanks @try_harder and @skint_spice
Taken DD to work today. Exhausted from early start and drive.
I have my assessment date through for a couple of weeks time. Booked day off as even though it's a call I will need recovery time after. Sis has agreed to go on the call with me so need to set that up. They don't make the decision there and then so will still have to wait.
Just hope it is in my favour. I pay for support now so in real terms it would help cover those costs and free up my budget and take pressure off. Pretty please....Achieve FIRE/Mortgage Neutrality in 2030
