    I can help during November on the PAD thread for the time you’re away in November if you like LMD.
    Great that you coped so comfortably when your other half wasn’t on full pay

  • Morning all! Recently I have been waking well before my alarm and I feel better for it. Although I have been staring work earlier as we are so busy at the moment and then I forget to post as I get carried away with work. 

    It's not a NSD for me today as I need fuel for the car and I have an appointment so I will need to pay for parking. Tomorrow evening we are having a night out, in fancy dress for halloween so tomorrow will be spendy too. 

    The PAD today was £45, which was £5 to the sabbatical as usual and then £40 cash budget left over which has gone into my sealed pot tin. I have 3 physical tins this year as I am trying to be smarter (emphasis on 'trying' there :D ) one is for coppers, one is for silver and one for notes. My £1 and £2 coins go in separate challenges so I can easily swap them for notes when I need some change (parking, pool table, window cleaner etc). If it works I will be impressed!

    I think that's all I have to update you on today...not much going on here except work and booking holidays it seems haha!

    Have fab days
