    There's a new series on Somerset starting on C5 tonight.  I'm looking forward to watching it, as by the looks of my fb feed there should be lots of local stuff on there over the weeks.  Should be quite interesting!  I love where I live.

    I got my shopping this morning, and to my horror the hot cross buns were still warm!  I'd only just eaten my breakfast so I was good and didn't indulge despite how good they smelt.  I might have one soon though while they are still relatively fresh :D 

    I've had a nice bundle of surveys approved, so I cashed out today and can cash out again tomorrow which will give me a nice start to my pads for March.

    Financials are ok for the month.  I upped my PBs by £500, so I'd better get a win this month :D  It's kind of offset by adding the TV to the CC though that's on 0% and I should clear that before it runs out.

    I've kept up with a spending diary this month and again, it's quite eye opening!

  • Glad you are starting to feel better.  You're a stronger woman than me, I would not have been able to resist a still warm hot cross bun 😀

    I got given a load of amazon vouchers for my birthday, and I noticed that several kindle books on my wishlist were on offer for 99p so I have purchased those.  Bargain, and no spend for me :)

    Thank you :)  I did do my cleaning, but also had plenty of time for chilling too :grin:
