So plan for today is;

- Submit gas meter reading
- 2 paid dog walks
- Book car MOT
- Housework
- Organise kitchen and dining room
- Add loose coins to savings pots
- FT shift - working from home today
- Book days off for January, February and March

Day went a bit off track. Had to take Mum to the Dr's so had to pick her up and drop her off which took a chunk of my day but I'm still gonna try to get through most of my list!
She did stuff some petrol money in my hand as I left cos I've been driving them about all over the place so that will help with the funds this month.Debt Free - 4th June 20250 -
So majority of the list is carried forward to tomorrow but hey ho that's the way of it.
I booked in a couple of days off. 24th January cos the car is going in for an MOT and 7th February cos I am going for a spa day with my bestie.
I'm over my hours but I'll be able to make it up with flexi between now and end of March. I am going to book in some days off in March for my birthday but I'll top the flexi hours up first so I know what I'm working with.Debt Free - 4th June 20251 -
