Still no craft spending, I am enjoying knitting my scrappy blanket, garden spend was good. I did purchase two new pairs of shorts.
8 Books read in March.
Lilly had her visit to the vets, almost £100, its not cheap having pets, we had budgeted for it, no issues, she is a good weight.
I dug out 2 bags of compost from one composter this month, there were a few woody bits in there, I'm really pleased with the quality, I always need compost.
We did purchase a new steam floor cleaner and a separate handheld, I had steam mops before, this time we chose a floor cleaner, slightly sturdier, I struggle cleaning our wooden floors, my knees and back are complaining. Nothing else required, we managed to save a bit extra this month.
We are the same with food waste, we have popped the council small bin close by, for all the bits we don't compost, I had to remind hubby to still use my compost tub, he was putting bits in the council bin, I am again saving coffee grounds, I only save them in warmer months to use in our garden.
I'm still struggling with my weight, I have put on 8 pounds over the winter months, gone up a size in trousers, I have not changed much, maybe not as active as before.
Vet bills can soon add up. I've been fortunate that my two have been blessed with reasonably good health, so far, at least. But it's something I'm very aware of now that Mog is getting older. X
ReplyDeleteLilly is fully insured, our vets do have a monthly scheme, which we are not part of, in it they like to see the animal twice a year, provide all flea and worm treatment and dental care, all of which I think is overkill.
DeleteWe use tea leaves and coffee grounds as a mulch. They're supposed to deter slugs and snails, but we use them to improve our clay soil.
DeletePerhaps you could have part exchanged some pots with the vet to decrease the bill!!
ReplyDeleteI started keeping track of spending but some of the things i initially thought i'd keep track of have been dropped, although i will carry on with certain things
ReplyDeleteFour of the children have pets - dogs and cats and from what they tell me vet bills are not cheap!
ReplyDeleteHappy last day of March and early good wishes for April.
All the best Jan
I did up our budget today and was pleased to see we were under budget in many areas. I need to make sure we will have enough to pay taxes, and some insurance items on our vehicles.
ReplyDeleteGod bless.
I need to do a lot better tracking spending.
ReplyDeleteWell done on your spending this month. I've spent a bit more than I should have in charity shops, but I'm reining it in this month. My weight has gone back up to where it was before I lost weight two years ago. It's frustrating, but I'm trying not to fret too much about it. I'd like to drop a size, but I can't face calorie counting again.
ReplyDeleteYou are an absolute star producing your own compost . It is so expensive to buy . 💐x
ReplyDeleteIt's not just the cost, the quality of bagged compost can be so very poor.
