Brilliant idea Cranky 🙂CRANKY40 said:Well done for standing your ground with regards to VR.
I changed from being a civil servant (fairly safe job, pension etc) to washing dishes in a cafe because it fitted in better with the HT's school holidays. When I did it I felt like I was jumping off a high diving board but it was so good going home at the end of the day without having to worry about workload and childcare. I know it's not feasible for everyone by the way, I'm just adding a point of view.
I've been wondering for a while if we could have a weight loss/healthy eating thread in the diaries rather than using someone's personal page? There's a giving up alcohol one.....we can't give up food obviously but we can give up some bad habits. Most of my overspending involves food at some point 🫤 and I'd love some healthy food inspiration. What do you think?Original Debt Owed Jan 18 = £17,630 Paid To Date = £6,510 Owed = £11,1204 -

Happy Easter everyone! Hope you all have a lovely day.
I seem to have a lot of chocolate. So much for healthy eating
I'm still going to start anyway tomorrow and remind myself that I don't need to eat it all at once.
We had a lovely day yesterday, we went to a NT place to do the easter egg trail, and then to the seaside The NT place was one we haven't been to before, so that was nice. It was a glorious day too which helped.
Our NT membership will be up for renewal next month, and we've really made use of it this year, so it's been well worth it. We'll definitely renew for another year."Good financial planning is about not spending money on things that add no value to your life in order to have more money for the things that do".
