    Got my payslip so will need to get a budget sorted for next month.

    Hair cut booked for tomorrow afternoon, been about 9 months so definitely needed.

    Although rain was not forecast until this afternoon, it has been drizzly all day so we've left the allotment visit until tomorrow.

    OH did a bit of cleaning while I popped to the supermarket - £14.37 spent, just on a few bits like coffee, cider to drink while watching the rugby and something for tea. We're having nachos as that's a nice quick tea to sort after the rugby.

    Have a £5 off £30 spend at Lid! so will pop there after the allotment to do a proper shop.

    Rugby is about to start so away to settle down to watch.

    Popped over to the allotment this morning - it's a bit of a state so will need some work done to get ready for planting. Greenhouse has unfortunately lost some panes of glass during the winter storms. Didn't actually do any work as such over there as due to the breakages, the gardening gloves had gotten wet and gone mouldy. £157.54 spent ordering new panes (just acrylic ones) and gardening gloves.

    Also popped to Lid! and spent £32.55 after the voucher. £5 moved from grocery fund to roof debt savings. Now have £35.62 left in the grocery fund which should be plenty to see us to the end of the month.

    Fairly busy night so far but seems to have settled down now🤞so can hopefully catch up with some of my paperwork

    Have done a few surveys on PA, just waiting for the money to become available to cash out
