    Not one for me, I had to pay for repairs to my car, although the garage guy didn't charge me for all the hours of labour they did because it's such an old car it took ages to get the right part second-hand so he said he would charge me less because of the delay. I did offer twice to pay the full price but he refused! Which was really good of him. Since it's a spendy day anyway I have also bought some nice cheese. :smiley:

    Hello, number 9 for me today.

    even though I know this is doing well, i know I could have done a little better so far as I’ve nipped to the shop to buy snacks I really didn’t need! Also happy and grateful to have ‘broken’ an NSD to buy a Father’s Day card. 

    Today will be an NSD but tomorrow won’t. After that I’m away for 10 days, I’m likely to pop on and update.

    I’m in the midst of job hunting and am having what could be fairly called mixed fortunes - one interview resulting in ‘you were a VERY close second’, one interview resulting in ‘come and spend some time with us and see what you think’, (this is a one day a week charity role I’d love but would need more freelance work around it)  an interview yesterday I felt went well but don’t want to jinx it, about 3 didn’t get an interview and one ‘you did so badly at interview there’s no way we could give you the job’ — hahahaha! Three more waiting to hear if I’ve got an interview. It’s a bit exhausting. 🤣

    But on a serious note clearing off on holiday when I’ve no salary is making me a little anxious! I’ve got possible freelance work when I’m back so that’s positive and have been enjoying doing that these last weeks. And I got a tax refund last month that was significant and has helped me not get too stressed this month.

    Good luck all and that’s me wittering on x
