I have been very frugal - I think it has been so intense at work I haven't had time to spend 😂. And I have found some that being so busy means no little trips to the shop for lunch!
Out for dinner with a voucher we got at Christmas that I found the other day. So that'll be nice 🙂 and means I can afford a bottle of wine 😂

So CC debt now out of the 6s and into the 5s! Hammering it down.
Work is still so overwhelming and tiring, trying to give myself me time with sewing and running so basically not having time to spend currently - my partner has even been doing the food shopping so I have not even been doing that 😂 (does come from our joint account!)
Almost tempted to hand in my notice, been doing this role for 9 months and it is just so hard and stressful in the new academic year. I am not sure I want or need that!

Nothing major to say, still chipping away.
Running a half marathon on Sunday. I booked it in to get training going again. Failed miserably in my training so might hurt on Sunday. Just got to trust my body knows what to do!
Glad it is Friday tomorrow 🙂 hope you are all well.

Chipping away is good!! Hope the marathon is easier than you expect.
