    Bee, you're driving yourself crazy other something that hasn't even happened! You've not been there long, so they might not want to give you too much right away. They might be worried if they do that you'll leave. Please do not rush into anything, you worked so hard to get this job and you're doing well with your finances!

    P.S I also do SOPs at work and can confirm they are a bit boring, although mine are on how to use machines, so it means I get to hang around with the factory guys watching what they do which is quite fun, bit writing it all up is not 🤣
    I know you are right about being worried about something that hasn't happened yet, also I worry that they are deliberately being difficult with the sops. So I need to stop and listen to them. Also I retracted my letter that I wrote to the lodger as he was honest and he has now purchased a bike not on credit. Anyhow I will try and sleep again.

    I am on £894.16/ £600 which is 149% utilised, I am on 13/12 No spend days, there is 7 days left of the month. I have £2000/£3500 EF which is 57% of the way there, aiming for £600 to add at the end of the month which would make it 74% of the way there. Today being Friday means it is a cleaning day, I have had a good sleep so feel I can probably get on with it okay today once work is out of the way! 

    Therefore I need a trusty list: -

    1) put washing away

    2) change bed linen

    3) put wash on

    4) Clean bathroom

    5) Hoover

    6) Mop the floors

    7) R&R
