You have achieved so much in terms of savings. Well done! I would be tempted to move £331 from other pots to the emergency fund to make it £1000. But that’s me, and my need for rounded up figures lol!

Thanks! I did consider adding the £31 just for my own OCD but it’s been replenishing so quickly I figure it would be ok just to keep doing what I’m doing. I can always raid other areas if there was another need for the EF funds

Good morning! It's showing the makings of a beautiful sunny day here so I am already in a good mood.

The dice challenge this morning was not kind to me at all...the percentile dice was £90 so the total rolled was £140. I added some money owed which got paid back to me to the sealed pot too and some purse change from being out last night.  Needless to say the Sealed Pot has raced past the £5k mark this morning! 

It's a NSD for me today, I have no plans and I don't need anything, it's a busy work day today so hopefully the day will pass rather quickly. Lots of calls too, where I can (fingers crossed) multitask and clear some emails. 

That's about it from me, I hope everyone is keeping well

Happy Friday! 
It was my day off yesterday and I was quite busy doing real life stuff so I didn't get around to updating. I have been suffering with some joint pain and the last few nights I have had very little sleep, I think I might have to resort to the strong painkillers today  

It's a NSD for me today, as I have no plans. I sent £70 to the EF today from unused budget.

That's all from me, I'm planning on lots of reading this weekend, hopefully get to the end of book number 27 and then seek more from the local library

That's all from me today 
Have great weekends!

I have found a daily supplement for joint care has made a world of difference. Now back to exercising without pain.

I do take supplements and vitamins daily, but sometimes it just flares up for a few days. Almost back to normal now  

Hopefully everyone had a good weekend? I spent a lot of it cleaning, reading and gaming. I am already a tyhird of the way through book 29 - smashing this reading challenge and absolutely loving it too! 

Finances... well it's not been very spendy this weekend and my budget is still intact for going out tomorrow evening. It's a NSD for me today which is good, but it is envelope day and I miscalculated how many Mondays are in this pay period so I have filled 12 and 13 today. leaving me 2 more before I get paid again. 

That's it from me, hubby and DSD are away now in their own respective locations for work/holiday and I have the house all to myself until Wednesday evening. It will be nice for the house to remain clean and tidy and TVs not to be left on in every room of the house! Although I suspect I will start to miss them around 6pm this evening...  

Anyway, that's me and my updates, off to make a brew before work

Good morning, a busy day ahead for me with loads of calls, and the window cleaner is also on his way so I need to unlock the back garden gate. 

It's not a NSD for me today, I am out tonight (but driving) and obviously the window cleaner will need paying... I have added £5 to the sabbatical as my PAD as usual but that's it for today I'm afraid. 

Finished book 29 last night before bed and will be starting book 30 today whilst I eat my lunch  

Have lovely days!

Good morning everyone, it's a glorious day here today and I already have washing on the line I am aiming to get the throws done as well this afternoon as it's set to be nice and hot so they should dry quickly. 

I have fallen out with my dice challenge this morning as the percentile dice landed on 90 so all in all £133 has been sent to the sealed pot from that...I know it's still my money and I will get to spend it in October but It's rather annoying  

It's a NSD for me today, didn't spend much last night either to be honest but had such a good night with lots of laughing and silliness Just what I needed I think.

Got a good start on book 30 yesterday so that's going well, not had the TV on at all since Saturday when we were watching the boxing except to use my video game for about 2 hours.  I have enough screen time from work to be honest so it's nice not to spend my evening doing the same. 

Not much else happening in the world of LMD, DSD returns from her travels this evening so my peace and quiet and tidy house will end at about 9:30pm... ah well 

Hope you all have lovely days!

Good morning and happy Friday We made it through another week! 

I was off yesterday and it was a day of peace and no spending - I even had an afternoon nap which was lovely but then I was still awake ay 1am so I kind of bit me on the backside there... Off to the pub after work today with DSD to have a few games of pool so not a no spend day today.

I did have £70 of budget left this week to allocate to the EF, so that's been moved this morning and take it over £800 so another month or so should see that back to the £1k level  

That's it from me, it's a gorgeous morning but thunderstorms have been forecast so we will see what happens there.

Have great days

Wow, Monday already and my house is back to normal (and I'm having to clean and tidy a lot more...:( )

I had a good weekend, and the forecasted rain didn't materialise, although I do feel like we needed a storm to clear the air, especially on Friday/Saturday. I popped into town on Saturday to see if there were any books in the charity shops that I fancied. There were so I bought 15! I've also been doing some decluttering and have 3 gags of things to take to the charity shop later this week. I can probably find some more bits to send over the next few days too.

Today is a NSD for me, I have added £40 to the envelope challenge and my £5 to the sabbatical has been made as usual. Aside from tomorrow evening, I have no plans until Saturday when we are off for some drinks in town. That will be from my next weekly budget so I should have some spare to pop towards the EF, not much due to buying all the books but some is better than none  

That's all from me.
