December | The Final Chapter of 2025

What a month! I have been working so hard on myself this month. I have been making more of an effort to look good and feel good and it must be working because my colleague told me I was glowing on Christmas Day! I reckon it's my Vitamin C serum. I have been making more of an effort to dress nicer for work and days off lately, apart from one weekend where I was told I looked like a hobo. I can't complain though, because I did. 

Highlights of 2025

Over the course of the year, I have been making a point of listing every fun/good thing we've got up to this year! I recently read it out to Josh and he had forgotten about most of it! We've actually done so much this year and it's so nice to actually see it all in one place. Obviously I've only added what solely I have done, and what we have done together - if I included everything Josh did without me the list would be a lot longer!

Low Buy November/December | Week 1

I got paid on November 25th so I had to start work on my budgeting and no/low buying pretty early on! First thing I did was go through all of my direct debits/subscriptions and minus all of those plus childcare from my pay. All of that came to £360.63. Yikes. That's not even including paying for gas and electric because I do that as pay as you go. I also included the £75.50 I owed my sister for our family Christmas get together. New total -£436.13 from my pay.

December Goals

It's Chrrrriiiisstmaaassss! Our decorations have been up for a while, I finished my shopping weeks ago but the Christmas playlist is officially ON and I plan on finishing my wrapping this week. Although I'm working Christmas this year and my boy is with his dad, I am absolutely buzzing for it this year. 

Last week I was really on a downward spiral but I cancelled my overtime, spent the weekend with family and today I woke up with new motivation and feel really spurred on for the new month! Let's get it!
