Happy Saturday,

Sun ☀️ is out and I have washing drying on the line and another load in the machine.
Been for a walk this morning to collect our weekly supply of eggs, 8000 steps in before breakfast. 
Also been and done a small grocery shop, to see us through until next weekend. 
Payday yesterday, all savings accounts have been topped up today. 
Set myself a challenge of make an extra £10 per day this month, need to get my savings mojo back. Fingers crossed for a good month. 🤞

Good luck with your £10 a day challenge. Glad your builders have finished. There is still lots of hammering and drilling next door to me

Good morning, 

June has just flown by for me. @Skint_yet_Again I managed to make the £300, hard work though, hope the building work next to you has now ended.

We have finished the front room and it is now my home office space and I love it, much easier than working at the kitchen table or in the bedroom.

I have also joined SW, started last Thursday, I have been finding losing weight difficult, so I need a little bit of scales motivation. Not working in the kitchen should also help. So my starting weight is 11stone 8lb,first target is to get to 11stone in the next few weeks.

Few more job to do around the house  in the next few months, lost of painting, a corner of our patio need to be relayed where it has sunk slightly and I want electricity run up to my summer house so I can start using the space as a therapy room. 

Lots of plans, not so much will be saved in the next few months however I will be looking at making extra money.

Going to now sit in the garden, while its still relatively quite, neighbours are all still in bed.

Good Morning!
Happy 1st of July 

Short working day for me, will be finishing at lunchtime to visit a friend I haven't seen for a while. Looking forward to a catch up.

Y Live has proceed my cash out, so £50.00 so be in the bank in the next few weeks, Doing know if I will continue as the surveys are very repetitive and take a while to build up the points, we will see.

Have a post office drop of to do when I am out. Sold an item last night that I thought I had taken down the listing, as I decided to keep for myself. Its sold, so off its going to its new home. Happy with the sale.

Plan for the week is to make a start painting the bedroom I was using as an office and get that organised. Paint has been bought a few weeks ago, hopefully Mr D will make a start when he returned later this morning from the dentist.

Happy Friday afternoon, just finished work for the weekend.

Its been a very busy few weeks, early starts and late finishes, hopefully things will quieten down next week and I can get back to my slower pace of working and a few homeworking days thrown in.

Looking forward to the weekend, breakfast with my mother and DS tomorrow (will make healthy choices), rest of the weekend will be spend finishing the decorating in the second bedroom and hopefully some gardening, if the weather is kind.

Happy Monday.

Been a busy week end painting one or the bedroom and working in the garden. Garden has had a make over, not spent any money thankfully, just moved furniture and pots around to a better position, making better use of the space.
House is upside down because of the decorating taking place and will be for the next few weeks. 

Decorating fund is looking empty after spending on paint etc as is the long team house fund after all the building work that has been happening, need to start building up saving again.

Lost 6lb in a fortnight which I am pleased with however this weekends eating has not been great. Made healthy choices on Saturday when we went for breakfast, has gone a bit down hill from there. Will be back on plan today.
