Road To Financial Recovery

Always good to see you thriving. Eating out these days is such a cost with a family of hungry mouths! 

All the best. LG

Thank you. I hope you are doing okay as well. It sounds like your making great strides in your journey.

Yeah, we've never really been into eating out but I do like at least one meal out if we can. It just gives us the time to spend some time together, everything always seems to be so hectic with drama, school clubs and then work.

Where’s time gone!
it has been a while since any sort of update but there’s not really been much going off financially. All seems to be ticking along nicely, although we are saving for a new cooker which will be May’s big expense.

This week has been playing a bit of catchup as last week Thursday, Friday and then Monday ( also Tuesday due to my own reasons 😆) where pretty much a right off on work front. 

Had an amazing bank holiday where I finally got to use my Xmas gift - a trial flying lesson which was everything I imagined and more - especially the fly over view of the Peak District. If I add in some family time and a football promotion celebration it was a fun but costly weekend 😂


Food budget and petrol budget are slowly creeping up to empty but should be covered until payday next week. 

Hope everyone had an amazing bank holiday

A flying lesson, sounds amazing. Well done.

It is something I have always wanted to do - I wanted to be a pilot when I was growing up, but never went for it. It was amazing. 

Hope you are doing well

Hope everyone had a good weekend, and managed to enjoy some of the lovely weather. Today I managed to finally cut the grass, I hope this year we can start making more of it.

Last week of food budget used today and a few days of petrol left to see me through to payday. Work is a shorter week this week as I have Friday booked of as I am away for Friday/Saturday.

Hope everyone has a good week

Morning MSE world.
Today is payday 🙌. There was a little extra in pay this month due to some overtime and also rolled into payday with some of May’s bills already covered which is good.

petrol worked out slightly above target, but have done more work travel this month

food budget came in just under budget 

eating out was another month of an higher then normal spend. I really need to allocate this in properly 

busy day at work as I’m off Friday as I’m away for football for a few days, so cramming a busy week into 3 days really as I was out of office yesterday.
