  • Good morning and happy Monday, even though I was off on Friday this weekend seems to have flown by and I didn't even have any plans! I have no plans until Friday this week so I am hoping for a good run of NSD's, I am counting today as one, even though a payment for the holiday has come out…

    My PAD included the usual £5 to the sabbatical and £40 to the physical sealed pot (my notes tin) which gets opened in 31 days time - exciting!

    It will be a boring week with no plans but at least I will save some money. It's 5 days to pay day now, and I need do my October budget and add it to my planner. This won't include the opening of the sealed pot as that just gets opened and then distributed to where it's needed on 22nd. It will cover Christmas and then top up the travel and sinking funds. We are away on October (4 nights), twice in November (3 nights and then 2 nights) and then we have the holiday in December for 7 nights. I despair at my poor planning sometimes and then realise I'm addicted to holidays 🤣 At least in October we are taking the dog so we don't have the sitters fees too!

    That's all from me this morning, I hope you all have lovely days

    Mid-week already! I got distracted yesterday and then never came back online. Which in some ways is a good thing. It's another NSD for me today, no plans until Friday which is also pay day.

    The PAD today was £5 to the sabbatical as usual as well as £87 to the £10k dice rolls.

    Nothing else much happening at the moment, hope you're all doing well!
