Got paid always a bonus. Then had money returned from my terrible use of Sprive and money has gone across to the mortgage from this app too. I always waste money on the lottery so instead of the £10.00 I would have put on I made an overpayment to the mortgage. Yesterday was a NSD. I was at work and went for a walk at lunch instead. I also made myself a sandwich cheese and pickle instead of spending on a meal deal at T’s. There are some awful roadworks meaning my estate is trapped no way of avoiding them so I decided to walk to work yesterday also and save on fuel. I could not be doing waiting in a traffic jam for 30 mins when I can walk in that time. Now the weather is nicer will be doing that much more regularly. Had to buy school shirts for youngest teen. Will get rid of her old ones and got her six. £30.00 but used cash back site and discovered I had about £3.50 so have just transferred across and when landed will make another overpayment on mortgage. Anyway off to work well my front room WFH day and looks to be another glorious day too. Think I will get a wash out on the line first time in months! Hope this is good weather from now on fingers crossed.

Good morning,
Another WFH day so in theory should be a no spend day but have sent money across to my sister to get me a vape. Don’t have this all the time although I need and want to stop this from being a regular habit. Willpower it is the only way.
Plans for this weekend are to put another couple of things on Vinted. My sewing machine I sold on there was collected yesterday so happy days. I have not used it in years so really was just wasting space and adding to clutter.
DH woke me at about 2.30 a.m as has bad reflux , I think a lot of older men suffer with this. I usually wake up at odd hours anyway so used the time to get some comps done.Also had a flurry in a new Lake District house comp you never know. Only ever do one’s that I like the look of and are in the north. For no other reason than would be a hassle to get to if I won something at the far end of the country.
Hope the sun shines again today actually got some clothes dry out there yesterday too.
