Now for a healthier, wealthier me

Sorry I have been MIA for a few days, I've been feeling quite poorly and just haven't felt up to doing anything... I have still been counting the daily PAD thread but that's about it.
I'm conscious though that I don't post over the weekend so a little update is probably needed. I've still been PADding, the £5 has been going daily to the sabbatical too.
I'm back to work today, I have just had a peek at my emails and can see already that I'm not going to have an easy end to the week! It's bonkers at the moment with everybody vying for my time. I've also not spoken to ACAS yet about the work thing, but I've heard that in other areas of the business there's a lot of anger about it already. I can't see the Company backing down but I'm pleased it's not just me who feels their actions are unfair.
That's it from me, I'd better go and see what my colleagues need from me!

Thank guys, I am still feeling really rough to be honest. I haven't been great at getting out of bed and everything aches. Work doesn't stop though, I'm just not as productive as normal and I keep snivelling and sneezing on calls haha. It's my day off tomorrow so maybe a duvet on the sofa day before I have to go out in the evening.
Finances are OK for this point in the month. I've now hit the £2k sabbatical point and I'm working towards the £3k... I'm counting down to pay day which is a week on Wednesday, I'm off that day and then I go for the girls spa and shopping trip away so I hope to be feeling better by then!
It's a NSD for me today, I am definitely not up to going out anywhere or doing much at all really. The PAD was £5 as usual to the sabbatical.
Take care of yourselves and stay warm. We have snow forecast tonight/tomorrow

Good morning and happy Wednesday. I hope you're all doing OK? We still have a bit of snow here this morning but it's not stopping us doing what we need to so that's a bonus.
It's a NSD for me today, I was out last night and I have no plans to spend now until Saturday morning when I'm meeting my sister to do a bit of shopping. I have decided to use some of the sealed pot money to update my office furniture. I spend a lot of time in here and It's all a bit mish-mashed and hap-hazard at the moment...It will definitely feel like a 'treat' for me too, even though it's not.
Today's PAD included £5 to the sabbatical and £56 in dice rolls to the sealed pot. Only a week to go until pay day now so that's the last savings challenge this month.
I'm still not feeling 100% but definitely better than I have been over the last week so that's good. I'll continue with the rest and fluids and paracetamol to get me through working and the housework haha!
Have great days!

Late this morning but it's already been a busy one for me. Lots of people needing me for one thing or another at work and I have a lot of meetings today, so aside fro 30 mins at lunch I'm basically free until 9:30 this morning. It'll be a quick update and then I will be grabbing the biggest mug in the house (is that me??) to get a coffee.
Today's PAD is just £5 to the sabbatical and it's a NSD for me today. 5 days to pay day, and I still have my spending cash for the week which I might roll into next week so I have additional cash for our shopping trip away.
That's all from me - short and sweet, like me!

Well done on still having some spends left. I seem to be doing better this month, but I am only in 2nd week of our 4 week budget period, so 2 weeks on Monday till the next one starts. But everything is looking good so far.Making the debt go down and savings go up
