Day Seven



8am: Up and T makes some tea before he heads into the sitting room to watch Match Of The Day. I watch Law & Order in bed – I love Sundays!



10am: T has replenished the bacon and so we do our bacon and eggs rolls again. He makes it all (dream).



11am: I am a very pale human being and having spent a long time flapping about how pale I’m going to look on my holiday in January for my friend's long-haul wedding, I purchase some Dove gradual tan moisturiser. I am too scared to attempt a full tan and mitt situation, having never done it, and I think a spray tan won’t last long enough (I’ve never done that either). This flapping goes on for a really long time before I give myself a reality check that this is 100% a first-world problem and just buy the bottle. I’ll pick it up next week, along with my dry cleaning, which I’m convinced they are going to throw away. £3.81



Noon: Is everyone’s Sunday a domestic day or just me? I put a big laundry pile in the wash, take a bath, do a face mask – self-care and all that.



2pm: Been picking at my treats from Mum (chocolate covered dates – yum) with a big mug of tea so not really hungry for lunch. I do some more holiday planning and make a dinner reservation at a nice-looking beach club and buy tickets to a wine tour (£26.64 each). It all goes into my holiday spreadsheet – organised fun is the way forward!



3pm: I finally get round to taping up the ASOS package that has been living on my floor – it’s been there so long I don’t even remember how much I’ll be getting back. I love it when you get money back from returns, feels a little bit like free money.



6pm: I get a Save The Date on WhatsApp for my friend’s wedding and I’m so excited! I have four weddings next year and they are all going to be so different. I should probably add a 'hen do and wedding' saving pot to my monthly savings, I’ve learned that they add up very quickly and have no sign of slowing down – but all great fun of course.



7.30pm: I put a frozen fish fillet in the oven and eat it with a mountain of vegetables, I feel like those have been lacking from my diet this week with all that eating out. I sneak a row of Cadbury’s from T’s giant bar and slip under the blanket on the sofa with an episode of Teen Mom. I feel way too invested in their lives! T makes sporadic teasing, judgy comments on my programme choice but I stand proud.



8.30pm: I flick through my Filofax to see what I have on next week and I’ve got some nice bits to look forward to. I turn on my extra early alarm (sob) for Monday morning.



9pm: Attempting to get back into reading – I’ve fallen off quite a lot and am working my way through Michelle Obama’s book. It’s good but not that easy to take on the bus (it’s huge!) so it’s going really slowly.



10.30pm: I fall asleep listening to My Favorite Murder. People question how I can fall asleep listening to true crime, but maybe I just listen to it too much?



Total: £30.45
