And he’s been already Beanie so I’m delighted that is a load away, I was debating how to fit the metal poles into my car😂
Woke up to an email telling me some git had used a load of my nectar points! All sorted now but it seems to be quite common according to my googling! I think I will keep the balance to about £30 max as I don’t want to go through that again.
First load of washing out in the sun and I will go for a run once the second load finishes.

I keep my nectar points locked unless I’m using them. Not sure if that’s helping.

Was going to say, I keep mine locked in the app after my cousin had hers 'stolen'.

Guess who is enjoying the heated throw?😂
I’ve been to the gym and also did a spot more weeding so this evening is sofa time! A book and plenty of tea for me.
Oh and joy of joys a letter from the tax man saying I owe them money and they are reducing my allowance from April. Hey ho - a rejigging of budget yet again. And a requirement to say yes to overtime a few times a month.

I shall just have to cut my cloth accordingly Beanie. I did get a lot back last year - obviously too much - and put a wodge towards the mortgage so I suppose I am saving interest… trying to find the positives!
Managed a run today despite terrible weather and aching legs following my first gym session, so stiff.
Off to see a film tonight with my pal, absolutely shattered so hope I manage to stay awake.

Day off today, finished a book and started another, went for a run and a social for line dancing. Won lots of booze in the raffle!
Time for an early night soon as I am working tomorrow.

Goodness where has the week gone? I have taken a few extra shifts at work so that probably hasn’t helped.
I’ve just been rereading my first diary from 2008 in DFW land, I think there were a few things I did regularly that I could do with returning to - ebaying each week and competions. I think I need to restart a weekly to-do list. Toying with the idea of going back to cash for groceries.
Going out with DS in a while for some lunch and hopefully a wee walk if it dries up a bit. I have been to the gym three times this week and my arms ache from yesterday’s workout. I have been really enjoying it and everyone is lovely and friendly.Mortgage OP 2026 £640/2000Mortgage balance: £32,222
