In the Meantime

Thanks @beanielou
Thanks @WelshmansDaughter I do most of my clothes shopping with an online company 
Thanks @redofromstart I was absolutely fuming with the EA. Supressed rage as I need to be on good terms...
Thanks @MovingForwards I'm less worried about how I look and more worried about health impacts, although I am not completely without vanity!

I have weighed in. Not that bad. By next week I should be into the next stone as I am only a few pounds into this stone.

I have just packed my breakfast and some fruit to eat at noon, as I am taking a relative to church today so will eat straight after. 

I will be taking my funds for the week out.
I will load some money onto my card for travel.

I had a missed call from the EA late yesterday so I will need to chase.

Anyway this is a quick update as I need to get ready to travel to a relatives 

Happy Easter and have a good day

Thanks @savingholmes and @jwil

I've had a few good days. Not feeling anxious.

A family day on Good Friday and quiet day at the weekend although I had invitations on the Sunday. I was able to declutter and clean my room. It is a small space so it is a constant battle to keep all my stuff in good order.

I have not yet taken my Friday allowance so taking it later today. I had a bit in my purse so I used that. I've used up food already in the fridge too.

I bought a train ticket as invited for a mini break. I used my CC as I am carrying a small credit (accidentally) Friend will pay for a day pass for an arts festival. I go for 3 days this week. Something nice to look forward to...

I will take out my allowance today. I will use some of this for a relatives therapy but that expense only lasts until the end of April. Another subscription will also end at the end of April so I should be £39 better off monthly in May. Plus a payment for £50 over the past few months has stopped. 

TO DO

• set up a monthly £50 to savings

I hope everyone is having a happy Easter

The mini break and festival sound fantastic.
Spends are working well if you had money left and it seems in few months things will ease up, financially.

Enjoy your wee break 

WelshmansDaughter

Excellent job on the decluttering 💪

Enjoy your break

Thank you @MovingForwards @savingholmes @beanielou and @WelshmansDaughter

I came back from my mini break yesterday. It was good to get away and be stimulated creatively. It was nice to stay with my friend and I feel lucky to be invited. That said I was glad to get back. I still find it hard living in other people's homes and living by their rules and ways of being...

Today I had a trip with my house mate to a garden event. It wasn't great, but it was good to get out. This organisation has a great winter festival that is fantastic that I will stick to instead. I treated my friend to coffee and cake. Nice cake but rubbish coffee and it cost £13, add on fares and entry and today cost me £30. It feels like quite a lot to me...?

Tomorrow another treat. Paid for a while back. A classical concert 

I'm doing well with with thrifty food and made a great curry using up the bottom of the fridge veggies 

I bought some fancy cups and saucers in a CS. They cost £20 and are beautiful. A bit of a splurge and certainly not needed....and yet...I enjoy them so much 

I'm still unhappy with my eating when on the move. By the end of this week I will have a smaller lunch box that will fit in my day-to-day bag  Having good apples and some nuts help so I will stock up on those too.

I'm feeling ok.

Hoping some housing options present next week! But I haven't felt nervy about it this week.

Hope you are all ok.

All sounding good 😊 The cups and saucers sound lovely. Enjoy the concert.
