    One for today. Booked a dentist appointment for September £86 for a check up :( Really need to find somewhere accepting new NHS patients. Also sorted my car insurance, £200 cheaper than it would have been if I had let it renew automatically and it has breakdown included. Same supplier too, madness.

    Not today I couldn't resist a trip to M&S food hall! and spending a few pounds!
    Missions for the rest of the year:-

    1) Build up an emergency fund (EF) 
    2) Improve spending habits.
    3) Create a budget that is compatible to me.
    4) Buy healthier snacks to avoid junk food splurges.
