@ThriftyPrincess40 that's great news, don't worry too much about the challenge if it's too much to juggle & hope everything works out in the new place.
If you wanted to change the target to something a bit more achievable in the circumstances, that might make sense? Either way, it's up to you xx4 -
I'm not sure if I'll reach the target this week, I have 9 days of annual leave and I'm booking things for an epic road trip in October!

Today is NSD number 2, and somehow I’m absurdly pleased about it. I do have a dental appointment for a filling today, but that’s already budgeted for so I won’t count it as a spend. What im aiming for is reduced leakage of £££££££££ 🙄
