@the_end_of_the_rainbow hello, I got these from Matalan online, I didn’t realise when I ordered but they have an elasticated waist which I think really works for me as normally I have to wear a belt to tighten my trousers as they are always too loose. They do them in different lengths so hope this helps - 

Et Vous Black Mini Ribbed Trousers

Thank You!!

Winter is coming…
seriously cannot believe how dark it is getting in the mornings now, time is flying by this year.
my gutters were flushed yesterday and I think I probably timed it well! He did quote me £95 but because I knocked on a few of my friendly neighbours doors and asked them if they needed theirs done, he got a bit of extra work and charged me £80

Today I’m going to see if I can get some help moving the air con unit back upstairs and will tidy that away for next year.
Financially I am planning to do what I did last month and stay busy so I am unable to just purchase random items.

I need to start thinking of a plan for the morning dog walks now it is getting dark again. He is a very easy dog to walk 90% of the time but he is incredibly fox reactive. At 42kg he isn’t small and I am not big enough to withstand his outbursts if I do not see them coming in advance.
Last year only ( I won’t write a list of years before)I cracked 2 ribs and broke my foot on 2 separate occasions and I’ve noticed I’m not healing as quick or as fully as I once did.
I will add I have always been very accident prone and have broken bones more times than I can count so it isn’t just his fault, I do think my bones are more brittle than your average Joe. I think it’s just because it’s taken longer to heal it’s become a worry.

I already have a dog walker during the day whilst I am in the office so can’t really afford to pay for 2 walks a day, and if I am honest our morning walks are my favourite part of the day, it’s where I get to wake up and mentally gear up for the day ahead

My first weekend in a long time where no money was spent, a big pat on the back for me!
ok I worked yesterday but it’s still a tick ✔️ 
other than that all very quiet on the money side of things, I’m just plodding along, counting down until each payday. I think I am working the next two weekends so that will help keep me distracted.
I did buy my 1st Xmas present on Friday which has made me start looking at what else I need to get, I am planning to have it all bought and done by November hopefully to save stressing.

1 week until payday and im getting the hang of these no spending days!
currently have £700 still sitting in my account and im determined to keep it there as long as possible. I do have some follow up work being done on the car today but i am crossing all my fingers and toes that it doesn’t wipe this out.
I am now working everyday up until payday as this helps to keep me distracted and less likely to spend.
