Now for a healthier, wealthier me

Happy Friday guys, we made it to the end of the week 🙌
I’ve already been out into town and had my hair cut, so definitely not a NSD for me today. Going to have a cuppa now before I crack on with some of the housework which has taken a back seat over the past few months.PAD today was the usual £5 to the sabbatical and then £35 leftover budget from last week. So that’s been put into my sinking funds.
Have fab days!

Hi all and happy Saturday, not sure where the sun has got to but I’m glad it’s a little cooler today.
Today’s PAD was just £5 to the sabbatical. Nothing else happening in my accounts this morning and we have no plans at all this weekend so it’s a NSD today.
I’m feeling a little overwhelmed at the moment, I knew the hard work would start when DH got home but it’s constant clearing cleaning and tidying as he just has no strength or energy at all. The house is definitely in need of a deep clean too after being neglected so much recently. It’s hard to know where to start sometimes.Better get a move on

My suggestion would be a quick sort and tidy for whole house to get you going. Then decide what to attempt more thoroughly.
For me once I get going I surprise myself by how much I can get done. I find the more I get done the more motivated I am to do more.
Recently, when my relative was in hospital, I had one day at home(off from hospital visiting) to 'sort things'. I managed to dust polish, vacuum and wash floors in all the rooms, clean two bathrooms, tidy front and back gardens including cutting the lawns, washing and ironing and even clean the car! It took 12 hours but wow did I feel great at the end of the day lol. I felt much relaxed and slept well that night!
I even my completed my exercises and some body maintenance lol!
I hope you succeed!Saving To Keep Ahead Of The Game — MoneySavingExpert Forum
