Evening everyone, I thought I'd pop my head in and see howeverything is going.

Well done on your win lilmiss, that's great . I can't believe Jen has almost filled half of her ISA too.

First day in new job was alright. There are three other temp people who are all around my age so we get on quite well, though the job is so boring and the system keeps crashing. In the last three days I've spent over a day in total doing nothing because of it... It has cemented my feelings that I can't work in an office permanently.

Money wise I can't remember the last time I bought something, I'm taking in lunches like a good girl so I'm saving there. Whislt I was talking to my boyfriend he pointed out that because I haven't had a job this tax year in theory I shouldn't get taxed for this work I'm doing as it will count as my tax free chunk, so I'll make about £1500 in the next six weeks. As I have an abnormally large amount in my current account at the moment I think I might actually be able to pay off my car by the end of this year which would be great .

Oh, and thanks for posting the ipoints reply yukki, hopefully it will be back to normal soon .

Thanks mm, I seem to be attracting money lately...it's strange. That said I have my mums birthday on the 1st, followed by my boyfriends on the 15th and my brothers on the 16th. My mum has told me not to get her a present as she has nabbed so much of the jewellery that I've made this year, but I'm making a necklace for her so she has something for the day. I bought my boyfriend a decent 10 piece tefal pan set about 6 months ago (I'm not making a point, he actually likes cooking :P), so I just need something small like a dvd so he has a small surprise on the day. As for my brother, I'm going in with my sister and nan to get him a new phone he wants so all in all I won't be spending that much.

Some of my new jewellery supplies have arrived, I'm so happy, everything is so pretty. It's quite exciting to be able to make 'nice' jewellery for once, it's great having swarovski pearls instead of crappy plastic ones lol.

Fingers crossed you reach your target Jen, I'm sure you will .
