Should itsthelittlethings spend less on coffee?

£10 out to savings this morning. I would like to spend that on a holiday but in reality it’s all to go towards the decorating work that the HA did internally. I am waiting with bated breath for the bill. They estimated about £700. I have about £250. Must update signature.

No coffees today but I do have to post my old passport back special delivery.

Just about to have a second (decaf) coffee. I slept well last night. I have a union meeting this evening (just going along to watch) and someone is coming round to pick something up off Oli$.

I went to another DA meeting last night online. I was laughing at some of the stuff the sharer was saying but I hope they took it ok. I am in a much better place than some people so I am fortunate. I just want my incomings to equal my outgoings.

Have been updating less but I just thought I would pop back to say that I managed a no spend day yesterday which is very rare for me but hopefully will be becoming more frequent. I had a bit of a shift and realised that everything I stuck on a credit card was going to debt and just couldn’t justify doing this for the sake of a milky coffee.

Very quiet weekend, the weather wasn’t good and I didn’t end up going swimming. Blitzed my house and chilled.

Managed another no spend today, extremely pleased about that.

Glad to see you back posting!

Two more days to the weekend. Just settling down, going to make a cup of coffee and watch Sewing Bee in a minute. I tried to make pesto for dinner but my blender is broken which is very annoying. I don’t really have the money to buy a new one until next week so may have to throw to pesto ingredients away.

Sleeping better since I cut down on coffees out (I don’t usually get decaf). I started doing some knitting again last night which I was very pleased about and I’ll do some more tonight.

Pestle and mortar?   Failing that wooden spoon?

My sleep is always better if I limit when I have my last coffee so for me I don’t drink it after 5pm and switch to decaf.

I have managed to borrow a hand blender off my sister so I will make the pesto when I get home. Very money saving.

I bought a chocolate bar today as I wasn’t having a good day at work and had just walked fifteen minutes in the rain. I managed not to buy any coffee though. I may have a treat one tomorrow as it’s Friday.

Just at my sister’s house for dinner. We’re having samphire with garlic butter to start and chilli con carne with rice for main. Delicious.

I haven’t spent on credit cards for five days. I’ve hardly spent anything as I don’t have much left in my overdraft. I know overdraft is still debt but it’s not as much of a priority for me as it’s only £250 and it’s 0%.

They have just extended the limit on both my credit cards but I am determined to stop using them and pay them off.

Another very quiet weekend this week. I’d like to finish a cardigan I’m knitting for my niece’s baby. I’m watching a show called Unorthodox on Netflix which is pretty good so I’ll probably watch that. I also want to clean my flat.

Just woken up and relaxing with a coffee. I’m going to try for a no spend day today although I might be going to see my friend and take ice creams from Asda so that would be a spend.
