    I don't wear wetsuits and swim all year round.   Some places insist when water temperature drops, in the lakes this weekend water was 11-15.    If you do need one Lidl currently has then (don't know how much as they were in the sale bin) and placed like mountain warehouse do them for about £29. Or the cost of about eight coffees

    Have bought a book on Visible Mending for £17 as a reward for doing a couple of things well. Apart from that I haven’t bought anything but food, coffees and the inevitable bills. I have about £200 in bills left to pay this month and then £30 towards savings and the rest is mine. I made the minimum payment towards my credit card as my pay got a bit messed up last months so I am short. Should get extra back at the end of next month although I will be taxed on it presumably. I’ll chuck some extra towards my CC next month. Need to check in on track to pay it off by the end of the 0% period. The weekend in London didn’t do too much damage.

    A quietish weekend this weekend. Swimming, knitting and chores.

    Going to make a £5 OP to credit card. Expensive fish pie with family tonight (they are worth it). Cheese sandwich and juice for lunch, one coffee to buy at work. No other purchases today hopefully.

    Bought what they call a “batt” of fibre. It’s like unspun wool. The dyer dyes it based on a prompt you give her. I also bought some wool off her. £60!

    My prompt was Haiku (petrol) as petrol is kind of my theme colour for my flat. I’m not going to spin it just use it for inspiration.

    Seems I like the acquisition side of my hobby at least as much as I like the actual knitting.

    4th of the month. Need to do my figures but I’m too tired at the moment. Around 3 weeks to payday.

    I want a new living room table but my current one is fine plus it’s sturdy enough to put your feet up on.

    Just mentally preparing for my outdoor swim later.
