You have made a head-start on Christmas. Well doneI really hope I see a drop, I've no idea how easy or difficult it is to improve the numbers!

Wow £170 PADs for September already 🥳Nice that you saw the eclipse, it's always fascinating when the moon looks different.
I'm hoping for an epic month this month!"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 McGee1 -

Happy Thursday! I'm glad it's the end of my week. I've been feeling very 'meh' this week, with no enthusiasm. I'm not sure why. I did have a bit of a chocolate binge yesterday. It gave me a bit of an upset stomach, I clearly don't have the same tolerance any more
I had my blood test today, and they managed to get blood on the first try for the first time in many many years! Whether that is a bit of luck, a talented person, or a little weight loss bonus I'm not sure, but it was very nice to be in and out in super quick time.
I had my month's tax refund so hence yesterday's nice PAD."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 -
Mr SA is a devil to get blood out of and he’s been told to drink plenty of water before blood tests. His veins seem to be embedded deep inside him 😆I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)0

I call two of my roommates "Turnips", since the old saying is "you can't get blood out of a turnip". They have to drink bottles of water before they go in for a blood test. It is better than it has been - a year ago it took a week of visits daily before they could get blood from one of my roommates - and then they finally got it out of his ankle of all things.0
