Hi Jen 👋 catching up on videos 😊 loved your video as always 💜 I understand about fatigue as I have fibromyalgia and it's so deliberating and frustrating. Loved the affirmation.. I have the strength to make it through any tough times... 💪 🙏 ❤ Congratulations on your pay rise 🎉🎉 xx
Thank you 🥰 It was long overdue, I just hadn’t thought to ask for one before. My boss was so sweet about it all, I can’t remember if I have mentioned this already but the day I asked for a payrise he told me he’d actually put a request in a few weeks before because he’d realised I should have had one ages ago 🤣
Such a great video Jen as always! Great news on the work pay update. It’s always best to go for a consultation which is what you’ll doing because you’ll know either way what you want 🥰
Thanks Josh 🥰 Yeah, I been doing a whole bunch research since then to get clued up on what to ask him. There is some debate about what is the best technique and he doesn’t have very many results photos available online so I need to see if he has more in his office or a way for me to speak to past patients. I’ve found reviews online, and from a handful of lippy patients one was very unhappy and the others are super recent. So he might not be my guy but still gonna have a chat and see what he does.
@@budgetsdreams I totally get what you mean but when you have your consultation even if he isn’t your guy you know what to say to the next doctor, before I had any work done I did my research too, it’s so much better to be safe than sorry 🥰
I love your videos! It’s been a good week overall. My best is My aunt and uncle visited from Colorado for my birthday. Unfortunately had a migraine Saturday, ugh.
Oh, it’s really not interesting haha! But… when I was really young I was very into horoscopes and all the related birthstones and sign stones. Back then some books said garnet and some said ruby. Garnet was cheaper so I just bought things that were garnet. Then, when I was around 15 places were getting pretty consistent on it being ruby so I accepted that. My brother actually bought me a really beautiful ruby ring for my 16th which sadly got broken a few years later, it was horrible and painful… that is a story in itself haha! So anyway, since the heartache from that breaking I haven’t really been into so much. So, when Ben said “pandora said it’s your birth stone garnet” I just rolled with it haha! Until the lovely Jenn put me right in the comments lol
Oh yay! Congrats on Etsy, I just saw your video in my feed so I’ll head there to watch that now. So exciting 😍 And sorry to hear about your work 😢 I hope it doesn’t continue that way for long xx
Aww so great to hear you so excited & happy Jen ❤️ Congrats on the pay rise 👏 Consultation great idea 👍 Sorry I’m with Ben on the LISA 🫣😂 Bad thing for me this week was someone broke my trust ☹️ Best thing was I lost another lb so that’s 1st 3lb so far 👏 Have a great week Jen xx
Oh haha to the LISA, you and Nat both! It’s good science though right? Lol Well done on the weightloss, that’s amazing! I’m really on it now too, not just because of the legs but because I got some bloods done last week and it turns out my liver is very unhappy 😢 I’m waiting for follow-up but my guess it’s fat so getting on it! I’m really sorry to hear someone broke your trust, that’s heartbreaking. Is it something mendable with time? Xx
Great cash stuffing 😊 My biggest success this week was hitting the 1k mark for my emergency fund 😅 Good luck with your consultation, I hope you get all the information and answers you’re looking for to make an informed decision on whether the treatment is right for you or not 😊
@@budgetsdreams oh yes! It’s been a goal of mine since moving into my own home a couple of years ago, so it’s been a long process to finally get to this point but so worth it! I honestly wish I’d found the cash stuffing method many years ago, it’s crazy how much it actually works 😂
@@MrsMBudgets I think we all feel the same with that haha! But, maybe we wouldn’t be able to see the real benefits and love it so much if it had always been our “normal”. The thing I get excited about the most is being able to teach Oscar how to manage his money so hopefully he doesn’t make the same mistakes I did. I’m so glad you reached that 1k goal 🎉 What’s next?
@@budgetsdreams aww thank you ☺️ next on the list is paying off our loan early, I wanted to get an emergency fund in place first incase anything happened while just paying minimum on the loan, now I’m using saving challenges to save and make extra payments off the loan, my goal is to pay it off a year early 🤞 I’m sure Oscar will be watching and learning from the sidelines 😁
Great video ❤ kids driving me abit crazy being off on school holiday but started my channel last week and i have over 20 subs so im so chuffed ❤xx sunch a lovely community x i have learned alot watching people cash stuff over the years x x
Ah congratulations on your channel 🥰 I’ll head over there now. Holidays are always a bit jarring aren’t they! I’m sure you’re making some lovely happy memories in amongst it all 💛💛
Great video Jen! You sounded very happy and upbeat this week😊 £6 for Cheeky Bonus, yayyyyy! Good luck on the lymphodima/liposuction journey👍 Take care 💛 PS my biggest UP this week...finishing work yesterday and having some holiday time now. Biggest DOWN...been struggling recently with various things and really missing my wife😥
Ah maybe lol I wish we were creating any change tbh but with all of our old change creating envelopes now in hyperjar it’s proving to be quite tricky. I’ll keep using a change generating challenge for cheeky bonus though xx
Fab video. Good idea about the consultation. My best and worst this week was finally going swimming after not going for four weeks as have been ill. Then getting a flipping eye infection😫
Best was getting 75% of the floors cleaned! Worst was my paid helper was so slow I had to vacuum, then she mopped. The whole point was for the helper to do both. My back has been hurting for days! Going to find a different helper.
Aww thanks for the shout out and yeah for the LISA. I’m with Ben on investments (sorry Jen) Fantastic you are going for a consultation. As someone who lives with chronic illness, paying for something that will change your daily life is worth every single penny. I’ve had a good week, hit my work deadlines, and was super spontaneous today and booked something I maybe shouldn’t have! Although I’m so glad I did. Great cash stuffing, I held my breathe with the second KO9 😂💕
Boo to investments 🤣 (don’t tell the internet finance people I said that haha!) We’ll see what happens with the consultation. I need to see if I like the dr or want to search a bit more. But it will cost tens of thousands so it’s not ever likely but we’ll see. Yay for hitting work deadlines ⭐️ And I REALLY want to know what you’ve booked!!
Oh, well then I’m glad it came up 💛 I hope you’re coping OK. Always around on the old DMs if you need a chat. Well, I say always, I’m rubbish at checking it but I will make a point of it over the next few days in case you do message me xx
It’s a good week, daughter turned 12 today so I’m feeling quite old 🥺. Ugh passports, finally getting hubbys passport renewed because it expires the month before our cruise holiday next year. Only he didn’t do it before the price increase here in Australia so it’s costing $398 to renew it 😭😭😭😭😭. So glad mine doesn’t expire until 2028 - I’ll need that long to save up for it
Ah, happy birthday to your daughter 🎉 It’s weird how time passes. Oscar is 13 this year… it makes no sense, I ordered a baby not a teenager 🤣 The cost of the passport 😱 Even with conversion that’s really expensive compared to ours!
@@SandRBudgetJourney Ooh yum! I’m in awe of anyone who can bake bread. Mine always ends up hard, bland and sweet. No matter what I do, always the same. My sister went through a stage of sour dough making… those were good days 😋 I hope you have a lush weekend baking more goodies 💛💛
Lovely video ❤ My biggest success and at the same time my biggest frustration is our garden. I have been working on a major tidy up of our garden as it has been a bit neglected for the last few years due to the craziness that my life has been. I've managed to remove two very large bushes, but I have to take up our patio to remove a very invasive plant that a previous owner had planted, and I didn't know and because I've not been able to work in the garden I hadn't realised it had spread so much 🫣 Love the affirmation for this week. It is soooo true 💖💖 I would never have thought I was strong enough to get through what we have been through as a family the last 10 years, but here I am, still standing and somehow coping with whatever challenges come each day 😊❤
@budgetsdreams Thank you. Yes, unfortunately, there is quite a bit to be done. Although I don't have a "green thumb," like my mum, I do enjoy gardening. I just don't enjoy it on very hot days 🥵
My sister in law has stage 4 lipoedema , i feel for you xx i follow a lady called gliterandlazers , she has it too and is having her first liposuction worth a follow x
Ah, thanks Holly, I’ll definitely have a look 💛 Sorry your SIL has it too. I find it to be a really lonely condition as no one around me can relate and the medical professionals don’t know much about it. I hope your SIL gets all the support she needs xx

I love your videos! It’s been a good week overall. My best is My aunt and uncle visited from Colorado for my birthday. Unfortunately had a migraine Saturday, ugh.
Ah wow! Happy birthday 🎉 How lovely of them to visit. And full sympathy with the migraine, they are rotten! I hope you’re feeling better now xx
Way to go on the pay rise, Jen 🙌 👏
Thank you 🥰💛
I need the ruby/garnet story! Just remember, you have survived all of your worst days. ❤

@@budgetsdreams gifts from brothers are rare and special. Maybe you could replace it and just let it remind you. 💜
@@keishabell7820 I had never thought of that, what a great idea! Thank you xx
Great video and hope the consult goes well! My best thing was making my first sale on Etsy 🎉 and my worst was dealing with an unhappy workplace 😢
Oh yay! Congrats on Etsy, I just saw your video in my feed so I’ll head there to watch that now. So exciting 😍 And sorry to hear about your work 😢 I hope it doesn’t continue that way for long xx

Thanks Chris 💛 Yay for some holiday time 🎉 Hopefully you can get out in the sunshine and get some good summer vibes. Sending you hugs xx
@budgetsdreams .....thank you Jen 💛
I vote you get one of Iris's 10K binders for the house deposit, and save your change all week for cheeky bonus 😉
Good luck with your tagline!

I’m selling on these on Vinted
I'd love to try paddle boarding
Oh, you should! Just go… book it… now! Xx
Fab video. Good idea about the consultation. My best and worst this week was finally going swimming after not going for four weeks as have been ill. Then getting a flipping eye infection😫
Oh no poor you! And how frustrating! I really hope you get better (again) soon 💛 the water will be there waiting xx
Best was getting 75% of the floors cleaned! Worst was my paid helper was so slow I had to vacuum, then she mopped. The whole point was for the helper to do both. My back has been hurting for days! Going to find a different helper.
Oh what a pain! That’s not exactly the aim of having a helper is it? Good about the floors though, I bet that feels really good 💛💛

A consultation is never a bad thing, hope you get the answers for questions you have. Hope you have a lovely weekend. Great video as always Jen 💕
Thanks lovely 😊 I’m not looking forward to derobing in front of a stranger though haha! But I’m sure nothing but good will come from it xx
Great video & yes, cheeky bonus flew but at least you all got something! 😊
Thanks for the affirmation & reminder - I needed to hear it ❤ xx

Love KO9 and Cheeky Bonus. Your life sounds very exciting with your London adventure.
