Semi Retirement and Beyond.

It isn't easy but has to be done . 

Back working again tomorrow, it comes round so fast. Will be WFH again this week for my 2 days. 

My HR have debited me with some unpaid leave again for this pay month , I hope they can get it sorted before payday . 

Bought all healthy food today , I do eat quite well anyway but am staying away from crisps and cheese only in moderation for a while . 

We have a family wedding in two weeks which I am really looking forward to , just hope the weather is warmer. 

Off to update my daily to do list to make sure I am in the right place at the right time . Looking forward to meeting my friend tomorrow night in the big shopping centre . 

My DS's birthday today , I can relive it like it was yesterday , happy memories .

Shopping day with parents and my own as well , food prices still shock me . Have managed to siphon off £130 this month to top up pots £30 underspend in food budget owing to being away for a week this pay period. £100 from personal spends have popped in the holiday fund . 

New budget starts Saturday so will be filling up pots again over the weekend . Time for a coffee before going to get DGD for her swimming lesson.

I agree at the price of food, I was shocked at the price of baked beans. I usually buy my favourite brand when I go to c@stc@ a tray of 24 cans…..works out really cheap….but they didn’t have any. It was £4.99 for 6 cans in Morris@ns. Think I’ll try to downgrade. Not desperate yet so I’ll shop around to see if they’re cheaper anywhere else. 😳
Holibob funds are coming along nicely 😁👍

Just caught up on your diary 😊 I am sorry to hear you are having a stressful time with family at the moment. I hope it resolves soon. I am shocked at the prices at the moment but I've noticed somethings in M&S are a good price,their baked beans were 50p a can 😊

Prices are definitely rising fast. I shop around to try and get the best prices but still not happy about paying £1.25 for a loaf of bread and that’s from Lidl 🙁

Today is my best friends 60th birthday lunch , I am looking forward to it immensely.  She is away for her actual birthday so today it is. No grandma duties today either so a morning doing not very much. Tomorrow I am having my mum and dad over for Sunday lunch , will be at DDs in the morning for Mothers Day breakfast made by a 9yr old and 6 yr old. 😂. 

Hoping to go into work on Monday but still not sure I am feeling that sociable we will see.

Hope you enjoyed the birthday lunch and that you enjoy tomorrow’s breakfast and lunch 🙂

It wasn't so long ago we used to buy Br@nst0n beans at 31 for a 4 pack on special offer - then it went to £2 for a 6 pack which I was still happy enough with...can't get them for anything like that cheap now! We've switched to mostly using Ald1's own brand ones now - they're nice enough.
