  • Strange how you automatically feel better when you have things written down and a plan in place. 

    Will make my debt payments later today then update my monthly total for January.

  • 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.

  • 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.
