We have a pond. I've found a very large Mr frog in the greenhouse once.. maybe need to encourage him to visit more.“Nothing in this world can take the place of persistence.

We have reached £4200 today. £160 repaid in full from the car repairs..💪.. week 4 of no food shop commenceth.. lol.
Massive vertigo issue today so had to cut my overtime shift short. Only 3 hours. Better than nothing but dizziness caused vomiting in the car park so I had no choice.
Pizza made last week is in the oven with the last of the shop bought garlic bread.. easy funtime food tonight as microneedling number 2 done after a good sleep and I'm feeling sorry for myself and my head is still a little whoozy.
Will sit and look at meal preps for next week. I'll get to Friday if it kills me..🤣🤣🤣“Nothing in this world can take the place of persistence.

Hello @jackieblack.. nice to virtually see you? Welcome!
I am pushing forward with an emergency fund then will see where I am in regards potentially saving for a small cottage..
Travelling was unreal but feels like a lifetime ago and I'm letting life slip away by not having a "plan"..🤣
One needs a better job!..
Will be skipping the gym today as I'm not feeling 100%. Rneed to get 4/5 days worth of meals pepper. I get easily hungry and this week is busy so best to ready.
As as prepped at heart I'm now eyeballing how to restock the cupboardsome Friday without going over board..
