Walking into another chapter ...

A two hour round trip done to collect ds due to rail replacement buses meaning he'd be late home for work. Back now and ready for some more football. £2.50 from another matched bet

Another £6 from a matched bet

Just wanted to say I've been enjoying reading your diary - just fully caught up with it today. I too like a good list and have set myself some major decluttering goals around the house. Well done on the matched bets - that is also something I've been meaning to get into. Hoping to start soon. Good luck with the list and the money making challenge 🤞🏻🙂

Thank you Every Penny Writing on here, and writing lists, keeps me accountable

I've been and collected my new glasses this morning, first time with varifocals so will take a bit of adjusting to. I paid my £1.20 in the car park but the machine didn't print a ticket, or give me my money back, so had to buy another one at another machine. Annoying but one of those things. Finally the sun is shining here so today will be an out day, not sure where or doing what yet, but it will be spent mainly outdoors

£26 paid from yesterdays card sale. I got the optician to fill in the form I need to claim some money back from work, they will cover £100 of my new glasses, that will go in the summer holiday fund too but I won't get it until I'm back at work so won't add it in yet.

Just realised that if I was to add in the opticians money now I'd be half way to my summer holiday total!! Woohoo!
One load of washing done and on the line, the chicken is in the oven (didn't get around to it yesterday), and I have managed to cut up the pile of weed membrane that was under the gravel and put it all in bin bags (6) ready to go the tip. Hopefully that will happen today but just doing that has left me worn out, am getting fed up of having no energy.

The 6 bags have gone to the tip and it feels so good knowing I've got rid. It really wasn't a big job but for some reason doing anything to do with the garden just doesn't float my boat whatsoever. It isn't even something I can cross off my list but at least I know I have done something. Now I can have half an hour on the sofa before the chicken is done, then will have some chicken and rice for lunch.  

I've also learned that my car can just about take 6 bin bags of rubbish. So as I am decluttering that is the max target at a time to aim for

Morning, well the nice weather didn't last long, today looks like being another wet one here. My plan today is to list some more cards then declutter another 4 bin bags. Not sure where from yet. Then I might spend some time doing paperwork and admin with hopefully some surveys chucked in throughout the day too.

You are doing great just keep at it. Sorry about the weather looks like it might be nicer later in the week hopefully.
