    Cleaning and housework done.

    This afternoon is about waxing and gel toes. £25 I have £42.51 in spends left till the 18th so £17 left for 2 weeks is plenty.

    Later I am going to that Swedish store to get my bookcase to put in the newly decorated hall , as at present my books are piled up in the spare bedroom.

    That's about it .

    The Swedish bookshelf is built , first time flat pack building in my life. It took me an hour and it's not perfect but it works, very proud of myself.

    It was £25 and it was an experience I must say as it is years since I went to the place .

    I am now listening to fireworks , I may have a look out later.

    My eyebrows are waxed and I have lovely toes .

    Tip run tomorrow with the cardboard. I have such an exciting life lol .

    Well done Cumbria for the bookcase assembly and nice to get the books off the floor :)

    You must be feeling very glamorous with your eyebrows and nails done :)

    It sounds like World War 3 outside my house atm :eek:

    I'm listening to people burn money and comforting the cowering dog.

    Envious of lovely toes.

    Lovely. You did the bookshelf, had treats and tidied the spare room All good :)
    If you have built castles in the air, your work should not be lost; that is where they should be. Now put the foundations under them.

    Solicitor/survey savings 300/1700
    Emergency fund 0/1000
    Buffer fund 0/200

    Redfromstart completely agree about burning money but more tonight then hopefully finished.

    The spare bedroom now has floor again ! I keep looking at my shelves so happy I am with them.

    Yesterday's spends
    Waxing and gel toes £31 a fiver more than I thought oops.

    Bookshelf and a vase £25 and £1

    Didn't get anything else considering all the stuff the Swedish store sells, that was a win to me.
