Now for a healthier, wealthier me

Shopping was successful and the wrapping will commence today... it will be a NSD for me and I have sent £15 to the Sabbatical to make up for missing the last 2 days.
Saving took a bit of a battering and I need to balance the spreadsheet later. Thankfully it was all saved for and nothing has been put on a credit card.
Hope everyone is having a great weekend!

Good morning. I'm sorry I have been AWOL - I've had a nasty bout of food poisoning. Luckily I have a physical make up which can withstand 36-48 hours of fasting.... It was even pay day yesterday and aside from putting some money into the joint account I did nothing with my budget so I know I was poorly!
I did get all of the presents wrapped though. There's just 1 for hubby that's still in the loft and one which arrived yesterday, but that's only small and won't take any effort at all.
I need to look at the accounts etc and sort out what's going where, but the PAD today will include £10 to the sabbatical and my last 1p challenge payment.
Hope you're all OK?

Good morning. In my poorly state yesterday I forgot to PAD, so will declare yesterday's along with today's... will be easy enough as it's all on the spreadsheet. I'm finally feeling 'normal' although my appetite hasn't yet returned.
Today will be another NSD, nothing needed and nowhere to be, tonight's job is writing my Christmas cards so I can get those posted on December 1st. My plan for the weekend ahead is a deep clean so that next weekend I can put up the decorations. Hubby is away for both weekends so I will have free reign! (evil chuckle)...
I will be checking Prolific today, it's been quiet lately and I still have a bit pending.
That's all from me

Hi all, how is it already Thursday? Also referred to here as ‘bin day’… we had a smattering of snow overnight which has frosted over, it’s super cold so it may be around for a while yet.I’m still not eating at my usual levels, but I can’t see that it will do me any harm at all. 😂 It’s not a NSD today as I’m popping out tonight for some Christmassy crafts kits. Will be low spend though.Today’s PAD was just £5 to the sabbatical fund. Nothing else happening until bill day tomorrow.Have a good one and keep warm!

Good morning, Happy Friday and welcome to December
It's a frosty wonderland out the window this morning so I am wrapping up for the day so I don't have to rely on the heating...Making the most of hubby being away.
I made a big PAD today including £20 to Sabbatical which was my usual £5 plus £15 of the interest made on my savings account. It's a NSD for me today and should be low, if not no spends over the weekend...I've too much sorting to do. I have aimed for 15 NSDs in December, which should be possible even with the social gatherings I have arranged. Time will tell.
Busy day ahead with lots of meetings but I will try to keep an eye out for Prolific surveys if they come available.
Hope you all have a good day (and weekends ahead)
