All change for 2025

Ugh, back to work today and already I'm stressed and feeling like I'm being pulled in a million directions!  At least I've just got to get through this week, then I'm only in 2 days each of the next two weeks, one additional day, and off for the rest of the month! I'm going into the office tomorrow so will make the effort to take lunch with me.

We did walk this morning, so I've at least had some exercise today.  I'm hoping it's not going to be too icy over the next few days as I don't like walking when it's slippery.  We're under a snow warning, but everything's flooded here so ice is more likely.

Two of my items are selling, so hopefully I'll get a few more over the next few days

I feel your pain…I was off over Christmas and it was so hard to go back last week. But looks like you’ve got some short weeks coming up to keep you going.
Oh great news about the sales, fingers crossed for many more. 

Well done on the exercise too, the snows gone here too and there’s lots of flooding….

It's hard to go back after a break isn't it!  Still no snow here, maybe today but more likely sleet/rain.  It's a bit icy underfoot, but I think we'll still walk.  DH says it's clearer further down the road.

Work wasn't so pressured yesterday thankfully.  I went into the office, and both walked and took my lunch! 😇

I'm having to do the school run in the afternoon every day this week which is a bit of a hassle, but next week little miss's clubs start so it will be easier.

Still only two of my items selling, but others have watchers so hopefully a few more will go.   I'm back up to date on surveys and will be able to cash out soon hopefully.

My regular saver matured so I can have my extra £50 back that it took this month, and I need to decide what I'm doing with it now. I moved it over to the PAD account for now as that's got a higher interest rate than the savings account that replaced it.  I won't count it as a PAD though

I'm off now until Wednesday, yay!  I wish the weather would warm up a bit though, I don't like the ice.  I've no real plans, will see what takes my fancy.

I've been walking to school each day so getting my steps in.  I didn't today though because it was slippery underfoot. DH goes out early to walk the dog so he can give me useful reports of conditions on the ground.

We're still eating our way through Christmas goodies and the cupboards, so my shopping was only around £50 again this week, so I'm pleased with that.

I'm only 40p off cashing out on OP so I am now getting screened out of every survey!  Still only 2 items selling at the moment, but one has had a few bids so that's positive.

Happy belated new year @jwil I hope you had a lovely festive period. Your spending diary was really insiteful & I am determined to start one! Please do look into getting a water meter. We are a 3 bed detached with 4 of us & a biggish garden. My boys love their showers & need to be forced out. We pay £46pm & it’s only increased by £1pm for the last few years. I am the main spender in our family  & I really need to sort myself out! My boys both play football & cricket for a team but I don’t mind those spends as it keeps them active & gets them outside! Would quite like my Sunday mornings though 😂😂 xx
