Yeah I've had a wee look at the ones who allow.
Spoke to another friend on our dog walk this morning and they're away for an Easter break so she's lending me her car from tomorrow until Friday - livesaver!

Pal's added me to her policy for £39 for the week - she is a LEGEND!
We're going out for her son's birthday tomorrow so they'll just leave the car with me when we get back!
I'm so excited to be back on the road - lost without a car.

I sure do.
However, typical for me, as soon as we updated the policy I got a call from the car guy. The white car I wanted wasn't going to be ready for weeks. I had initially called them about a blue one so we decided to go with that so I am back on the road!
Picked it up on Friday and back to my normal routine from today with my dog walks so the money is coming back in - wooooooooooo!
Just waiting on the payments coming on to the CC so I can do a balance transfer for a 0% offer for 21 months.

So still waiting on the balance adding to the Tesco CC so that I can balance transfer it over to the Natwest which has the 0% offer for 21 months.
I am not the most patient, been checking the app constantly.
On a more positive note I got £50 in my bank this morning from Y Live for surveys completed so I'll decide what to do with that when I do a full check of all the funds.
My niece stayed over last night so she's sitting next to me having breakfast.
I've got a meeting at 10am, dog walk at 11:15am then need to walk my own 2 at 12:30pm so will sit down and have a think about it when I get back.

Well yesterdays plans got derailed a bit. Had my niece staying over and she ended up so sick! Had to take her home while she was throwing up into a plastic bag.
Not ideal!
She's still not feeling great today and I'm just hoping it wasn't noro-virus cos I'll no doubt end up with it in the next day or so if it is.
Just going to sort my kitchen out now cos the boiler guy coming at around 1:30pm.

Hope you avoid the sickness!

So I'm still standing but my sibling now has it.
Hoping this means it's dodged me so fingers crossed.
Going to sit down later and set out all my goals for the remainder of 2026, time to reign in the focus.
