£6.99 spent on fruit and veg today. I also spent £2.95 on a coffee deal through my mobile phone rewards. I had to sign up to a subscription but I've put a reminder to cancel it as soon as I receive the coffee I ordered.
£6.73 cashed out from PA and moved to the roof debt savings.
No sign of my pay slip yet but did get an email about a wee pay rise - works out about £50 extra a month so happy enough with that.
Today was a very mixed day at work - morning was lovely and then it all went to !!!!!! in the afternoon 😫 double shift tomorrow and then thankfully weekend off.

Thanks beanie and INOD. Nothing exciting planned for the £50 this month, going to put it towards the credit card to pay back for the home insurance.
NSD yesterday and today will be the same. Have had a productive day - allotment this morning followed by a tip run to get rid of some old wood and electrical items. I also went and finally joined the library so took out some books.
Got my payslip yesterday so will need to do some planning. Also got a letter saying that my 6 month fixed saver is maturing next month so I need to figure out what I want to do with it.
