Five Year Fix, Five Year Plan

Oh what a relief!! 😊👏
I hope it actually comes off this time … 🤞

Shame about the food budget but tbh I would be regarding that as the cost of survival at a difficult time! Once you are working fewer hours you can back into batch cooking etc. For now, don’t worry about it too much 😊

That sounds like good news. I hope you get it in writing quickly so that you are in a better contractual position in the future.

End of month squared away, all set, next month all totted up.

Have had to query pay because I think I've been paid for a sick day I shouldn't have got (and colleague has recently been chased up for a day she took in november). sent the email last night - no reply as yet.

Technically "extra" money this month and next anyway, because no student loan and reduced hours aren't kicking in until september, so I'm throwing that into "new car fund" (sitting at £4k at the minute so the old one better keep going for a bit!)

Have been for a drink to meet up with a new book group, which is an offshoot of a board game group I went to for the first time the other week - so hopefully a new social outlet for me.

Theatre tickets booked for various points over the next twelve months - comedy, Six, and Operation Mincemeat.

Good to have plans to look forward to. Great news that the reduced hours are back on. What a relief.
