Friday
It’s payday and I wake up at 2.30am and can’t get back to sleep so it’s time to do some online banking / sorting my savings out. Pop £125 in a decorating pot, £40 away for Christmas, save into my easy access saver (basically my maternity and emergency fund!) and Lifetime ISA. I also have standing orders an InvestEngine account and to our joint account and my own Bills pot for my contacts, phone bill etc so I know what’s left in my balance in my personal current account is mine to spend. Put £75 into another pot for my nails and brows this month as my nails are falling twice in a payday which is unusual but no worries if I budget for it.

1. Aliotiko Restaurant
If you’re looking for serious portions, amazing value for money and traditional Greek food this is a great shout. We shared the courgette balls and calamari for starters and the traditional Greek platter which had stifado, moussaka, stuffed pepper, potatoes, pitta and salad. We were absolutely stuffed and couldn’t finish everything so it was definitely shareable between three comfortably. The food was really tasty and it was so nice to have some traditional Greek dishes. We spent around €45 for all of this food in a centre of town location including a drink each.
