Yesterday was a NSD 🙂
Managed to sort through all my clothes then started on DS3’s. Now have 4 bags to either put on V!nted or take to charity.
Yesterday’s dinner was chicken tacos which went down a treat. I feel like I’m getting a lot better with not snacking after dinner now and don’t feel so bloated all the time. Starting to feel comfortable in my clothes again.🏡Mortgage July 2019 - £240,000

I have managed 3 NSD’s this week.
Hubby is away tonight and back Monday so me and the boys are going to get a takeaway treat for dinner this evening.
I also transferred £100 odd into savings to round it up to £7000 yesterday.
Not sure what we are up to today as the rain is relentless here 😣

Boys chose a McDonald’s for dinner tonight, DS2 collected it and everyone is now full.
£32 spent! Adult children sure can eat a lot 🙈I’ve started a new book with my friend so we are both reading and texting our thoughts tonight. Seems good so far.
I’ll probably aim for an early night tonight, seeing as hubby isn’t here and continue reading in bed. DS2 wants to find something to watch on tv together first.🏡Mortgage July 2019 - £240,000

£32 is not bad for a takeaway though, could have been a lot worse 👍!

Happy Sunday.
Weather still isn’t great but it’s not raining!
Gou$to box arriving today, we are having spaghetti bolognese this evening. Nice and easy meal for me and the boys.
Managed to finish the book this morning myself and my friend were reading together. DS3 climbed into bed with me around 7ish and we got up about 8.30.
I have a few jobs around the house I need to get done then will head out to a local country park if the rain stays away. Will take a few snacks and drinks with us so should only spend on parking.🏡Mortgage July 2019 - £240,000

Met my friend for a coffee today, my turn to pay - £9.80
Decided to shop in L!dl this week as it’s on the way home from the coffee shop and spent £99.26. I can’t believe how little you get for your money nowadays! I’m sure a few years ago I could have an overflowing trolley and still spend less than £100.
Tomorrow will be a spend day too as I have my nail appointment but no other plans to spend money 🤞🏼🏡Mortgage July 2019 - £240,000
