In the Meantime

Agreed, the Monzo video takes no time at all and is worth doing

I'd forgotten that I even did the Monzo video, so it can't have been that traumatic.

Have a lovely weekend.

I hate those kind of checks too but they seem standard currently

I did one for FD.
WAs fine.

Thanks everyone  You all make complete sense. I have a bit of a block with being filmed and uploading confidential documents, but it is the future! Will leave this frog for now  

So, another week of no suitable properties...

A week of spending too much, not working and spending time with family. I've enjoyed my week. However, I'm looking forward to getting back to work next week. Not so much looking forward to being back where I am staying. That is life! Nothing is perfect.

I've picked up some small containers for snacks and to keep vitamins in.

Next week I will be focusing on a very low spend week! Yes, I will be having beauty treatments but using the training college so that keeps the costs down. 

The very expensive bread I buy has cut out a slice without reducing the price. It is now therefore £2.50-£2.99 for 4 slices the size of the palm (not fingers) of one hand. When I have my own home I will be baking once a week as that is ridiculous!!!
Also noticed a cleaning product that used to be £3 is now £3.50. A FR chicken is the same price but much smaller.  I can really see food and household products are becoming more expensive...

Things are far from great, but counting my blessings

I hope you are all having a lovely sunny weekend

Enjoy your work next week and hope the beauty treatments balance out the not so good bits of the week. 

Fingers crossed for better news about possible houses.

Thanks @maggiem and @mark55man

I woke with a massive headache as I had not eaten enough the day before. I had breakfast and it was gone in 30 minutes. Silly on my part and the result of trying to do too much yesterday. Got back late last night.

Today I took it easy and stayed local. I have 2 salad boxes prepped and the bread issue has been resolved by using lentil pasta in my salad box so no need for bread. Used soup maker and have 5/6 portions of soup...courgette, lentil, miso, ginger and garlic. Came out great. 

Reorganised the space I had. Friend/host was nice today 

I saw a moth in the room today, so must get some cedar blocks for my clothes...

Good catch up with my mum 

There is a relative that I need to support financially on a monthly basis so will need to work harder on looking for a job as currently I can do it, but life has to have space for treats and fun too. 

Hope everyone had a good weekend

Thanks @another_casualty I appreciate your consistent support and encouragement 

I am typing this with lovely nails and tidy eyebrows. The girl that 'did' me was lovely so I gave her a tip of a few pounds. I go back next week for my feet to be done   I booked massages for May and June too. 

Picked up some ys bits and bobs and a few not-ys bits too. 

Took a packed lunch and some fruit. I have lunch ready for tomorrow.

I had a coffee out that was good. Besides coffee, no money wasted...

Thinking about the M0nz0 frog I plan to use a second account that I have that are known for having a decent app. I can use it for discretionary spending. It is still a frog to get the app set up but it is a lesser frog 

Hope everyone is well.

Off to catch up on some diaries.
