Here’s where the story ends…

Still feeling a bit under the weather, walked into town and back yesterday and felt shattered afterward despite a break to get my nails done in the middle! I usually run farther than the total distance so listening to my body and resting today. DS popped in after work for a visit so it was nice to catch up with him.

I am thinking of revising my budget and putting more money into savings each month and upping my spending money as everything seems to be going up. Pondering and planning…

Glad you saw DS. Pondering & planning is good 😊

Budgets updated and OP reduced but it will all work out once my tax is sorted out just gives me breathing space in the mean time. Long weekend of working and I stupidly answered my phone earlier and have agreed to work an extra shift tomorrow. It’s a long one too but it’s extra money I suppose.

I need to sort out my diet this week as I have been terrible for the last week - working 7 til 7 doesn’t help. I had a wee half hour to myself this afternoon so sat down the beach and watched the waves coming over the wall for a while. The wind was worse on my way home and I ended up going the long way round as the dual carriage way was too scary!

Day off at last but working tomorrow! I slept for almost nine hours which is unheard of for me but obviously much needed.

Payslip in for next week, still need to get tax sorted out but luckily overtime helps get it back up. I have taken on an extra shift a week for a few weeks but need to make sure I don’t overdo things. Sadly expenses haven’t been paid today, yes who would need money the week before payday🙄

Must go do some shopping, visit DM then off to get my hair done and then a party tonight. As I start at 7 tomorrow morning it will be a fleeting appearance from me then home for an early night.

Fabulous picture! That looks a little bit choppy 😯
Enjoy the party tonight even if it is a whistle stop tour!

So where was I? Another mortgage payment made, only OPed £500 which is good but won’t make my target unless I overpay more.

Met friend for breakfast which was lovely but nearly £18 for French toast and two coffees? (We split the bill so that was just my half!). Was supposed to be meeting another friend in the city tomorrow but she has changed arrangements so many times I told her just to leave it, my son already refers to her as my “flaky friend”…

Still doing crazy amounts of overtime but it’s all extra money for the pot I suppose.

You are chipping away at the OPs, you’ll get there, or at least close 😊
£18 for French toast and coffee?! Yee gods … was it the r1tz or some such?? 😳😂

Jeez, that's expensive!!

There was maple syrup and bacon with the French toast but yes that was £9.95, the rest was the coffees and it was a nice enough place but not anywhere flashy. In our town too not city prices. I was a little shocked 😂 I had been planning a takeaway for this evening but feel I have recouped my money by finding something in the fridge.  Anyway I had a lovely catchup with friend - she works in place I just left although she’s now had enough and is moving on too. 

I meant to call and sort out my tax today but forgot so need to do this next weekday off. It will all work out in the end 🙏

It’s getting expensive to eat out at all now … We are going out for dinner tomorrow night for my birthday and I may have to support Mr KK when the bill comes! 😉😂

Glad you had a lovely time with your friend and I hope her job search goes as well as yours did 😊
