    @LzzyIsGod hope you're feeling better soon.

    Payday is such a lovely day isn't it to know we've got the ability to get a bit closer to our end goals and seeing the numbers ticking down (except when the go up, thanks car  :s )

    Oh I hear you on the car front!

    Hokey Cokey - Black Lace

    Chosen this tune tonight as it accurately mirrors my day - in and out of bed although no shaking about! And I've also had things in and out online shopping baskets and we all now know (me included) that this is my weak point when it comes to budgeting. 

    I did purchase some things for our holiday however these were all cosmetic consumable type things and nothing was purchased that would be considered frivolous (teenagers need deodorant 😂 as do I) and nothing that we wouldn't actually use at home normally. I did find myself searching for linen short style dungarees and had more of these in and out of baskets than anything (I had a neeeeed) but none were purchased as actually I have plenty of clothes and hopefully as covid has robbed me of my appetite I may stand a chance of some of these actually fitting!!

    Right best take some more meds as my temperature is rising again 😖 I am a terrible patient

    Losing my mind  - Liza Minnellli

    Gosh I am getting cabin fever from myself but I am improving little by little. 

    At Christmas I often get what is commonly called "the twitch" which is where you go Off List and panic buy things right at the last minute (despite having planned and budgeted for the list). Today I "twitched" and panic bought for the yoofs for the upcoming holiday only to remember many hours later that I had replaced said items this time last year. My brain really isn't firing on all cylinders at all.

    Still in that limbo time where I've been paid but before things start moving out the main "bills" account. I'll wait and see what this month brings and hopefully have some extra to chuck towards that tantalising £33k number .......
