NSD FOR ME TODAY YAY!
I'm glad it wasn't anything else Em
Good luck to all the Dc starting school
It's been beautiful here and they have given it all week hopefully , fingers crossed

Makes so much sense as I’m super bloated too. Eugh.

Since I’ve been double jabbed my
Periods have been odd. Anyone else?

I think that's quite a common effect Em.

First day at school done. Everyone v tired, including me but it all seemed to go well!

@lifelongfrugaleer

I’m sure no one would have minded em. £160 skatepark £100 summer fees and £60 September pass. Unlimited scoot which usually costs me £35 a week for individual sessions. Nearly snapped their hand off Party next month will be £140 hire+ &20’sweet cones and £££pizza and bake

Great deal life ouch to birthday party spends

€8 gym class

• €40 sold my air fryer used about 3 times, I prefer my halo even if it is on the way out, better get saving! €50 soccer membership fees

I tidied up my YNAB last night, I just needed to borrow from my emergency fund last month & then repaid it once ex paid his share of back to school.

Going to make a fresh plan for sinking funds too

I’m about to call the Student Loans Company to change my name and address with them as I haven’t managed to do that since moving before the pandemic and also getting married.
I haven’t received a statement from them in about two years so hopefully they can tell me what is still owed on the loan. Last time I checked a few years ago it was £7k so hoping it’s a lot less now. But I need to access my payslip online so I can tell them how much exactly they deducted last month, and our HR portal isn’t working 😩
Also need to call old car insurance people and cancel the renewal.

I’ve amended our house insurance to remove a shed and to add my new ring.

Spends £11 on ear defenders for the kids - were watching the air display on thursday

Humbug glad it was a good start to term.

Em the Sabby Jabby caused my periods to go haywire too.

Camden I am convinced that prices are going up. I am dusting off my cheap eats again.

life the kids around here fund raised for their skate park and pump track so it is free to use. It is on Parish Council land and is covered under their insurance. Those were the days when our PC was more concerned with current residents rather than ones who are long dead.

Another NSD. YaY

Signing in! Keep falling off the thread, not being frugal AT ALL.

We currently all have confirmed covid. Only found out through a close contact (Caglets’ friend who then got ill the day after) and DH also had a pre-op PCR which picked his up. We are all fine other than tired and a bit achy, just annoyed at the crappy timing 🤣

Spends recently… I can’t even. Seriously just no. I am leaking money I think. 🤣

I am experimenting with starting (giant) baked potatoes in the instant pot. We are short on time and they would take hours in the oven alone. And before anyone says I don't own a microwave, I hate the things.

Sing I hope you stay not too poorly and GWS

Wolf the quickest way I find is sticking metal skewers through them and baking in the oven. It is quicker than the Microwave.

Oh no Sing, I hope you are all ok.

Hope you are all ok sing

Wolf i am tempted by an instant pot do you use yours a lot

I hope you are all ok sing

Hope you all get better soon sing

Oh God Sing that is awful , l hope you are all ok
Wolf l have to agree with you l don't like them at all but we do have one
Em Thank you for reminding me . l must do the same my house ins is due soon and l need to do a price comparison
Unescorted that is so brilliant the children doing that , it must have
given them such satisfaction from their own achievements bless them!
Gen l bet the amount has gone down a lot lovely
Happier excellent sales woman you we never use our air fryer either , it gave off so much steam which then caused condensation we couldn't use it
Humbug glad everything was ok on the first day , the anticipation is probably worse than actually going , at least in my mind it is but what do l know lol
Spends today 30 Asda , some of them sale items l have to take back l hate that !
Beautiful day here hope everyone had a smashing day

Oh no, sing hope you all have a mild case!

NSD truly nothing left my account or my wallet

Sing glad to hear ye have mild cases of Covid, I dread everything reopening here in six weeks time.

Dc are staying with their dad tonight which never happens mid week. So I came home from work & spent time on Instagram, walked the dog, went to personal training & then home for my dinner.

Tomo eve I'm going for reflexology after work so I'm bringing a portion of chilli con carne for my lunch.

Going to work early with dc gone so 30 mins overtime in the bag.

Today is going to be a spendy day. I have an empty fridge and my car is back for a couple of days. I need to shop for another 2 weeks.... I think as dh can't seem to make his mind up what days he is home and when he is working away.

sing hope you are improving. Numbers are rocketing around here again despite numbers of tests going down, which is a worry.

I can't believe it is only Wednesday. By Monday I was longing for Friday.

We are expecting numbers here to rocket back up by the end of the month. People back from holidays. Schools back. Clubs back on etc.

sing I hope you and the family are ok xx

£20 on pizza tea last night for ds first day at school.
Cases are so going to go up.
Gonna be hot today

Thanks all! We really are all fine just a bit tired. And hot but that’s probably the weather 🤣

Back to “school” today, DD1 had agreed to do extra study at home this year anyway (she’s going into year ten) so will just do that and any work the school set while she’s off. Bought a science book for her yesterday. Had a maths lesson today, I’m so so glad I finally embraced online teaching as I can still earn!

Waiting on an interview invite too… got the acknowledgment on Monday but not heard anything else yet. 😬

Hope everyone’s returns to school etc are going ok. Totally understand the worry about increasing numbers 😫 I guess I don’t have to worry about catching it again in the near future (and being double stabby jabbied is reassuring too) but still, not nice to think about it all going crazy again is it :(

Booked our flu jabs too, luckily for after isolation ends!

Unescorted some weeks just go slower than others don't they?
