I don't want to know what the cost of diesel is now!

My next be expense is the car insurance, so somehow I need to start saving for that.

I am selling on vinted now, and other than a pair of jeans there's nothing I need to buy.

Well I could use a new freezer too.

Close to if not over £2 a gallon around here today; those that are under that are generally only under it by 0.1 pence.

Has diesel ever been that high? It's not something I buy.

Pretty sure that you mean £2 a litre! But yes it's been around that for the last week or so.

Not that I can recall but this is my first diesel car

Yeah, a litre! Been reading too many US posts and they don't even use the same gallons!
So, I have been working four days a week, and making good money, which was fine when I had someone to split the bills with, but it's not enough to afford to live alone. I have to figure out what to do. I'm so hesitant to get another roommate after the awful situation I experienced before, but I don't really have an option. I could try to get another job, but it would be very hard to since I'd only be available two days a week. That also would only allow me one day off, which would be hard for my mental and physical health. I'm just so down about how expensive everything is becoming, it's really discouraging and scary.

I heard Facebook market place is a place to find roommates. Try to find someone similar to your age range if possible.
Finally sold one of the dresses I put on vinted, so that'll be posted tomorrow.

Going to try and go to zero waste today and get soup ingredients. Plus bread or bread rolls.
 
I got a season pass on the first day that the pool opened. $100 and it should be open until next april. The big cost for the pool use is the fuel to get there. $100 is extremely cheap for a pool pass. I just must stop myself shopping while I am in that town! I often convince myself that I should "make the most" of my fuel use and get other things. I do not need other things!!!!

Everything else is chugging along quite nicely. Garden is my biggest cost at the moment.
