Road To Financial Recovery

FootyFanDan

Well that weekend didn't exactly pan out as expected. We had a lovely family meal out and then unfortunately partner ended up having a knee dislocation and we spent the rest of Saturday afternoon in A & E. Thankfully she is recovering but this has meant a bit of adjustment to my work schedule to be able to do school pick ups and look after partner which she is loving haha. 

Thankfully work have been really good, so I am work from home for two weeks and then I have a week off, we will then reassess from there. Whilst I have had certain frustrations with work, its at time like this where the flexibility of them really shows through.

Finance wise not really much to report, although the lack of having to travel to and from work will be kind to my petrol budget. Monday was productive, today not so much but slow progress is still progress. I am so enjoying no commute. 

The weekend was a little spendy as I got some overdue new clothes and treated little one, we had this treat and food budgeted already so not too bad.

Decluttering continues, but the tip closes earlier now, I took more clothes this morning to local charity and I have got a few bits ready for tip so might try squeeze that in tomorrow. Hope everyone is doing okay

A successful, if not a bit busy on all fronts week. I have actually really enjoyed the freedom to work from home, the lack of a commute has been great and I have probably been far more productive for it. I tend to work that little bit longer when I am working from home, but granted I tend to have a few more breaks. Those breaks were well used this week and happy that after putting it off for so long all the clothes that we were donating have now been sorted. It has taken so time to get to that point but we can now get on to sorting out a the old toys. I am sure we could have sold a lot of the clothes on v1nted but at this. moment neither of us have the energy (or time to do that).

Finance wise we have spent far too much on food the last few weeks and this is an area that needs looking at, I do think some of this is just purely down to stuff rising in price, but also know that the odd shops that we are going for 'a few things' ends up been £40 quid more. 

We haven't really done much this weekend due to partner still relaxing, although now moving a little bit more. We had a movie night last night which end up been a late night and relaxed today. Now on the wind down and will watch F1 and ready to start a new week. There is a few hours I am going to have to be in the office to be in face to face meetings that I can't really avoid, also expect it to be busy as I am on leave the following week.

Hope everyone had a good weekend.
