Hello September! I can’t believe we’re already in the ninth month of 2019 already. September should be reasonably quiet for us as it’s just a normal month with the same old routine. Apart from the fact that Alfie starts primary school this week. We tried on his uniform over the weekend, just to ensure that it fits, and I can’t believe my boy is so grown up. I feel like I might be a little emotional when I drop him off for the first time!
Finances wise, I’m aiming to have a No Spend September. So, nothing out of essential spending. I hope I can do this, after a ridiculously spend-y August. I haven’t even put anything in my Eating Out category, as I intend to have no eating out at all this month. No snacks, no coffee, no nothing! Eeek! If you want to have a look at my budget for September, I uploaded a video about it here.
My Financial aims for September are:
– Have 20 No Spend Days (NSDs)
– Overpay our mortgage by £185
– Put £600 into savings
I have increased the NSDs aim for this month purely because I shouldn’t be spending. Simple! I will keep it updated in my trusty NSD tracker 
our mortgage overpayment aim will be the same each month, as it has been for a while. And lastly, a very specific number into savings, which will be the same every month this year, I should think. Plodding along, slowly! Back to normal though which is good
My Personal Aims for September are:
– manage my time better
– get ahead with posts for on here.
I feel like I could definitely be managing my time better at the moment. Again, once we’re back in the normal routine I suppose that might seem easier. September is the time where I get back into my own routines too; both blogging wise and everyday life wise. This includes going to bed a sensible time so I’m not too tired. It’s a viscous circle. And finally, I want to get ahead of writing posts on here, as it really takes the pressure off. I used to be able to do this, but recently not so much. I am going to try!
Here’s to September being great! What are your aims for the month? I’d love to hear them!
