Hi January Money Jugglers,Working today so just a small list. Very complex day for DW today, but we'll get through it.Debt-Free-Nillionaire Continuity Plan Year Nine:
- Alarm clock off at the wall during day time.
- Take a packed lunch instead of buying food at work.
- Booked a dental appointment as soon as "life happened" today in the hope that getting it fixed straight away will be cheaper than leaving it to deteriorate.

Work is a tough one this couple of weeks. I can't really say too much but I have been railroaded into a task that I do not feel that I am competent to do. We are absolutely winging it and it's not a task that you can get wrong. I have said numerous times that I do not want to do it, yet it has happened and I am cross and upset.

Well hello there lovely people!
Thanks for the kick off @ziggy2407I've been thinking about this thread recently too so it was lovely that you started it back up.
Lovely to hear from everyone. Sending big love and healing vibes.
Ooft, don't know where to start with what's been going on with me since I last posted - a small matter of surviving cancer, quitting my job and starting my own business.
Right:
- Hanging washing inside
- Looking on Vinted for ski stuff
- Listing on Vinted
- Coffee shop trip using a gift card
- Deciding whether to do a class at the gym
- Tidying/cleaning most of the day listening to library audiobook
- Fake away for tea - not sure what yet
