Saving lots in pots!

MovingForwards

Potentially you could make your own sausage, burgers etc. Depending on budget constraints if you've a proper butcher near or on your travels it's worth asking what GF products they make and if there's a min order; mine does them when the customer asks but has a min order.

When we visited A&U the other week we came home with a freshly made loaf of bread and sweet bread, both made in the bread maker. If you've space and time to practice buy one, you'll never look back.

Hope the meds are beginning to make a difference.

well I still here. Struggling, the meds are beginning to work, or they were I think I still need to up the dosage. As pains are beginning to get worse again. Its has been horrific by far the worse pain Ive ever had. I would much rather go through child birth anytime.

 Thank you Skinty and Moving forwards.

I havent been able to get my head around the gluten free stuff, its come right in the middle of all the horrible pain and half the time I cant even cook anything. But we'll get there!

Thank again

Happy Friday, 
It's nearly the weekend!! 
Time to do a round up. I've been all over the place so let's see whats what.

✨Xmas saver £600, ~i rounded the £1.15 it's now a nice round figure. Problem is i want to start buying xmas presents now. So I think this challenge may have to stop early.
✨Pension - finally put the £250 across this week. I also can see ive been paid £50 this morning from my side work, a bit early, but I'm not complaining. And my weekly £15 makes it £75 in the waiting pot.
✨Health fund £80
✨Car fund £61
✨EF £1316 / £2000
✨Mortgage overpayment £60 for Aug and Sept. Oct £13.44 oops,! Only got 11 days to find the rest

Health and car funds took a battering, but hopefully they can now slowly build back up.

slowly slowly catchy monkey!

Actually when I look at what I have acheived this year I am really, really pleased, Having never ever saved for xmas before Is going to make a huge difference to me and DH who normally has help out, this year Im hoping it will only be for food he helps.

PLus the stuffed enevelope challege is really making me focus, although this will be towards a holiday, it will be a good chunk.

 And the EF is getting there!

Its SUnday schmonday!

I have a busy clinic tomorrow and have spent most of today in bed, I am really hoping that being rested up will help me get through the day!

I will be chasing up the GP app tomorrow as I really want to talk to them about these new meds, They are really helping with the pain, but are giving me some side effects which need checking. But for now at least the pain has reduced hugely huurah!

Some of the side effects can be horrendous, changing the time of them can make a difference.
Savings are looking good and you've come a long way.

i need to take the 3x a day so not to much scope to change the times 8am 2pm and 8pm. I am trying to take them after food as Ive heard this helps. But im rubbish at eating early!

As for savings Im really happy I think when I get to the end of the year Im going to have a count up of everything!

finished the sealed pot challenge yesterday, ony managed £165.92. As I stopped potting a few months ago ~ about the time I started the envelope stuffing!~ Too many challenges!

I also finished the 365 1p a day challenge  this lovely amount is set for xmas spending £680,  and hopefully some for food. AM very very happy to have money saved ready to spenf for xmas ~ next challenge is to buy everything and wrap by dec1st, I really wont know myself at all if this happens!!

In other news Im still plodding along woth the MMOPs but not doing very well this month, not even half way and only a few days left of Oct, but I do know why, it has been an incrediby hard month to get through. Im hoping Novemver will be better
