    Not today, although my spending is so I can do chores on air tasker, green bags so I can collect green waste for a fee, but now I am having doubts about it, as if I am taking green waste for money I should not use the tip, so I may send it back, now!
    Goal 1: Get a permenant job that sticks.
    Goal 2: Aim 15 No spend days in January or above actual so far - 0
    Goal 3: Get a lodger
