Morning all.
It's payday woo hoo 😁 Paid off the cc balance, sent £100 to premium bonds, £20 to the glasses pot, £50 to vets pot, £50 to appliances pot, £70 to the annual payments pot and a couple of oddments amounting to £10.08 to the Christmas pot. Regular savings can't be transferred until tomorrow.
WFH today and will have the WW spectacular on in the background all day as I don't have any meetings scheduled. Been really looking forward to all the special events.
Today's exercise plan is dog walking at some stage this morning, Pilates at lunchtime, body conditioning at 2pm and Zumba at 5pm.
Dithering between a couple of things for tonight's dinner either a portion of lentil stew from freezer stocks or West African Peanut Stew from the Lidl app.
I'll cashing out survey money later. It should also be the final NSD of February.I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)4 -

Mr SA flooding could have been worse - it could have been an indoor tap. My brother left the bathroom tap on years ago after getting up to the loo years ago…..flooded the house 🙄January spends - £587.584

Happy Friday 😎
Working in the office today but finishing at lunchtime.
The current account has been decimated with all the DDs going out. Another £100 overpayment gone to the mortgage.
£31.38 cashed out from PA last night and this has been sent to my fritter fund.
Current account interest of £3.49 has been sent to the Christmas pot.
£200 sent to the Nwide regular saver and £250 to the Principality. Need to send £200 to the YBS Christmas Saver when I get home as it needs doing via the app and that's on my iPad.
Not a NSD as I need to go to Lid! on the way home and if I can be bothered to walk 12 flights of stairs down and back up again I'm going to treat myself to a coffee from the work on site C0sta.
Today's exercise is walking to/from work and am determined to do a yoga session when I get home.
Tonight's dinner is lightly dusted yellowfin sole with swede "chips" and steamed veg.
Looking forward to putting my feet up with a glass of wine later - and falling asleep 10 minutes later 🤣I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)6 -

If you only pour yourself half a glass, then fall asleep, you will have a 'free' half glass for another day...I think a bit of sunshine is good for frugal living. (Cranky40)
