So I nearly gave in and ordered a takeaway this evening but then I stopped myself and made something instead and it was very nice - chicken with noodles and a peanutty sauce, satisfied the junk food craving.
Payslip arrived and budget sorted for March. I am going to try and make £100 extra too. This means tackling Vinted…

No need to write too much. It looks (to me) a lot easier than ebay & your first listing the buyer gets free postage.I am a Forum Ambassador and I support the Forum Team on Mortgage Free Wannabe & Local Money Saving Scotland & Disability Money Matters.

Day off flashed past quickly! Budget sorted out for March including higher personal spends so fingers crossed it will work. Went to a sound bath last night which was lovely and hopefully cheered up old workmate I took along.Public service announcement - I bought the pretty white strawberries from M&S and they really just taste like regular strawberries so don’t waste your money! Must dash, off to see a film with a friend.Mortgage OP 2025 £6200/7000Mortgage OP 2024 £7700/7000

Thank you both, the sound bath was lovely, I have been to a couple by the same person previously but would also like to try someone else just to experience different styles.
Tonight’s film was good but the hall was freezing so now on the sofa with tea, a hot water bottle, blanket and the cat.Mortgage OP 2025 £6200/7000Mortgage OP 2024 £7700/7000
