Glad to be home. 3 dogs is visiting and is currently resting.

I've a bit of work to do. All is ok. Im just thinking about the summer.

It's not raining here but v windy. Perfect for clothes drying but not nice enough to go out in.

I might just tidy today. I'm having a lazy day. I was going to a carboot this morning but was just too tired to move.

In 11 working days I am on hols. That's all I can think about!!!! My new salary will mean I earn £100 extra a month I think. Not a lot but enough to allow a few luxuries. I'm going to focus on the financial benefits as I don't really like the job so much.

Im feeling a bit down this weekend. Roll on the hols.

lol. So glad. Please let the weather be nice.

In total I have spent £3.00 over the last few days at work. Most of this was for other people.

It looks like there will be a heatwave over the next week. I am trying to do some work everyday and then rest as I feel so tired.
I had a tummy bug so I haven't jogged this week. Once i feel stronger I will start up again.

I cannot wait to sit in the garden this weekend and chill. If possible I will try to visit a carboot.

I am following your advice to clear my cc bill I am going to make sure I don't do anything that isn't essential. Hence car boot is cancelled.

Instead I am doing some grass mowing and ironing. My bug is back so I will have to pop to pharmacy to buy something. I bought some glitchy household things today from local cornershop saving quite a bit of money. Total spend today £10 ( I had to buy sarnies at work too (they were cool as kept in fridge) and I couldn't risk taking my homemade sarnies in with the heat they might have triggered my tummy again). Blood sugars a bit crackers hoping they will calm down when this bug does.

There is only one week till wages come in and 3 days till rent comes in from lodger. So happy. I might be scrimping now but in July I will have next months wages without any cc bills so I can chill for 6 weeks. This using cash payments malarkey without using cc is great. It has made me think twice every time I spend. Although I have bought presents for people and gifts for students I really haven't bought anything wasteful as I think twice before every purchase now.

I think I am the only one at work that isn't going abroad which colleagues don't understand but if it means I can save I shan't mind. I keep thinking of Dave Ramsay's advice 'live like no one else so you can live like no one else' (later).
