Now for a healthier, wealthier me

Morning everyone, hope you’re all well? I’m up early again and feeling Ok about it so far. Already been awake an hour and a half.
Today the payment has landed from Vinted so I’ve PADded £43 to the EF. It’s another NSD for me today, I’m aiming for a smaller target in June as we have some plans and commitments.
The accounts are all looking ok, although we
still have a very long way to pay day

Morning! I managed to sleep in until 6:30 this morning, which is late for me.
It's the first NSD of June and I have a big PAD which is all the bills coming out of the account, it does include £3 to the EF though so that's good.
Nothing else to report, no money from anywhere else as yet.

Sleeping into 6.30 sounds like luxury based on your recent risings LMD.
Mrs Mac accidentally set her alarm for 6 but on the plus side it meant we had time to enjoy our coffee and scrambled egg on toast.
I don’t know about you but it’s the afternoons when the tiredness gets me. Once the yawning starts I can’t stop, particularly on days in the office when it seems particularly infectious!27/5/17 Mort 64705 BTs 1904031/12/17 Mort 59815 BT 1673007/04/20 Mort 49208 BT 1572128/07/20 Mort 47387 BT 1263414/11/20 Mort 45905 BT 10134 20/05/21 Mort 42335 BT 686811/08/22 Mort 32050 BT 2915Sealed Pot Challenge 16 Number 52 -
Sometimes it allows for a leisurely breakfast and a bit of morning news so I don’t complain... I do sometimes struggle in the afternoons @antomac, I have to make sure I don’t have a heavy lunch!

Well hello everyone and happy Friday
we made it through another week.
Today I am going out for lunch but it will be a low spend, no other spending plans just walking the dog, working from home and maybe a bit of bullet journaling later. No work meetings today which is great as it means I will be able to get more done.
My PAD today was £3 to the EF, it's now over £200 so I am more than 20% to the EF goal. I'm pretty pleased with that, given that it's just from PADding and the one Vinted sale. I've had some interest in other items I have for sale but no more sales yet. Part of me thinks, hey, I'm debt free now I could keep the designer bags... But my sensible self points out we don't use them and can utilise the money elsewhere and re-use the space in the wardrobe!
That's it from me today, enjoy your Fridays peeps!

Hi all. Sorry I didn't post yesterday (although it was probably a break from my waffling on) I was busy and there wasn't much to update on really. It was a NSD and I sent the usual £3 to the EF.
It's the same today, it's been a relaxed weekend with sport and time spent in the garden really. I need to feed and water the herbs today and do the chemicals for the hot tub, no sunshine as yet but there's still time I suppose. I was up early again this morning and my body feels like it's already lunchtime. It could be an opportunity for a fruit salad 'second-breakfast'.
I need to get some cash out today for my sealed envelope so I will take the cash card when I walk the dog this afternoon. Other than that, not much going on.
I hope everyone is having a lovely weekend.

Morning and a happy Monday everyone. The sunshine seems to have disappeared for the minute and I’m hoping the day brightens as we go.
Today will be a NSD for me. We are off to the cinema tonight but I have an annual pass so it doesn’t cost anything.
MY PAD this morning was £3 to the EF. Going to try and keep an eye on Prolific as I managed a few studies yesterday so would like to keep up the momentum.
Hope you all have a lovely day
