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 coffees2

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.35 NS&I

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.35 NS&I

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.35 NS&I

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.35 NS&I
