New Year, New me

A quiet day today. 

Organising my budget, sorting out how much I need to save to pay my tax bill in Jan (I have worst case scenario in head!) 
Lidl shop for weekend stuff - away from Sunday-Tues so only need to plan for two days! 

Feeling much more in control again. Listed a few bits on vinted but been on for two weeks with no biters, so may just take to charity shop because I need the space - I'll reduce one last time because a pound or two is better than nothing!

You may get a flurry of sales after the bank holiday when people have been paid. It's worth sending offers to anyone who adds to favourites and offer a reduced price or any additional info/photos. 

Hope you have a fab time away, any thoughts on what you'll be cooking? Now my cards are clear I'm constantly thinking about food (mainly because of the diet)

Plan is nice veg chilli one night and just a jacket potato the other night. I was going to do meat chilli until I saw price of mince! Think I'll need to start growing my own veg soon 😂

Thinking of payday, I might list a couple of other items on vinted. A virtually new pair of jeans for £2.50 currently and still noone wants it! 

£9 prolific survey done earlier. Now just need to wait for it to clear.

Sold a pair of jeans for £2.50 and listed a couple of other items. Got £19 waiting to clear on prolific. Quiet day today, just a wander around town, feeling a little bit hayfevery, but did get outside and mow the lawn and plant a load of sunflower seeds! 

Spent £12 on a white jacket for 3 weddings we need to go to this summer 😊 whole outfit so far has cost £16. Just need to find shoes now, although I've got until July. Now to sit and read for half an hour in peace 😊

Hurrah for getting a sale, and that’s a lot pending in Prolific, nice work!

So nothing finance based today. Today I ran a 19 mile race. So pleased with myself, longest run in about 2 years! Slow, but completed. 

Now sat outside a pub having a beer to celebrate 🥳

Well done on the race! That's a fantastic achievement

Legs have just about recovered today. At work, trying to distract myself from actually working - wishing I had time to go for a walk in the sun, but sadly meeting at lunchtime today and teaching all afternoon.

£15 cashed out from prolific and £6 vinted sales waiting to clear. Put a payment over to loan - I'll update total when interest is added.

No spend day today - too busy at work and tutoring after so won't be done until 8 this evening - good for my purse not so good for my calmness!

Hope everyone's day is going well :)

It's great that your legs are on the mend.  I always secretly like the days where I'm too busy for spending haha
