I've had a morning on the computer this morning, catching up on surveys and working through my inbox. I hate a full inbox (at home and work) so try and only keep things in there that still need dealing with. I've also updated my spending spreadsheet and my general financial one.
Little jwil has gone out with his friends - it still feels a bit weird him going out on his own, but I like seeing them gain independence! Little miss and I are just having a quiet day at home. DH is working.
I've been through and edited my ebay listings, I only have 4 items on there, and would like them to go! They'll just stay on there until we get round to doing a car boot sale and I'll pull them off if they haven't sold."Good financial planning is about not spending money on things that add no value to your life in order to have more money for the things that do".

I sorted through one of the food cupboards today, got rid of a couple of bits that were expired, and set some items out to use over the next couple of days. It's all much clearer now and I know what I've got.
I also did an exercise video from the SW app. Then I chilled with a book this afternoon!"Good financial planning is about not spending money on things that add no value to your life in order to have more money for the things that do". Eoin McGee5 -

Back to work today, boo
However it's only for today and tomorrow so not too bad.
I managed to go for a walk this morning before I started so that's a good start to the day. It's very nice not doing the school run.
Nice PAD today due to a small lottery win, and just a slight extra payment. I wonder if I can get to the best months total for the year this month. That will depend on whether I keep up with surveys and how quickly they are approved!"Good financial planning is about not spending money on things that add no value to your life in order to have more money for the things that do".
