i took the loan. it came through this morning and i promptly paid off four credit cards, and the skip and transferred the rest to savings. feel very pleased about it as it will save me about £45 a month. i then went into overdrive mode on sorting out the finances for 2026, and treated myself to a new spreadsheet set up from etsy. it's got everything including a net worth tracker, investment calculator, automated emergency fund target, debt snowball calculator, monthly budgeting and transactions and two different annual overviews. it has made me very happy. i've decided to put £25 into investments each month from the £45 i was saving by not paying the credit cards. hopefully i've picked smart funds!

took moose for a walk to work on his training. he was less pully than usual and quicker to "leave" other dogs, but he wouldn't sit for anything. i think he doesn't want a cold bum because he hates sitting on the tiles in the house too and is more likely to respond to you if you ask him to sit when he is on the rug. 

i cleared out the majority of the upstairs landing although i still need to finish vacuum packing things away and putting them in the top cupboard. it looks a lot bigger. the whole of the house looks bigger since taking down the christmas stuff. i'm going to need to start building a list of things that i want to do to make it snug again, starting with painting the wall my desk is against, and getting my gallery wall and skulls up. i don't think many people would say that skulls are snug, but i kind of like them interspersed with the cross stitch and silly quotes. 

wanted to play switch with laura this afternoon but i can't find my switch dock anywhere, so that is something i will have to dig through the airing cupboard for tomorrow. we ended up propping my switch up on the table and connecting both sets of joycons to it and played lego harry potter for an hour. it was pretty good fun!  made dinner (haha, i didn't make anything at all, i just dug a bag of some chicken pasta concoction out of the freezer) and then decided to make fudge. very pleased to report it has set for once, although my arm is absolutely killing me from beating the daylights out of it for 14 minutes. ouch. 

laura and i then watched the traitors, i read a thread about how george r r martin will never release winds of winter, and now i am sat here. chris has just come down for an electrolyte pill being two days into his seven day fast, and asked me what i am doing tonight. i told him i was going to be reading throne of glass, and he was pleased because it means he gets to carry on watching boardwalk empire. i would go up to bed to read, but i am in mortal danger of falling asleep and i want to eat fudge!

currently reading: throne of glass  
current vocal stim: i have thirty thousand dollars of credit card debt (credit card debt)
