    Morning All

    Well its a bit warmer today, yey! And work seems to have the heating on, thank God! :D

    I also got a letter from the Post Office yesterday about the £100 they were giving away when I got my insurance. So i took it to a post office this morning, and came away with 2 very crisp and new £50 notes :eek: I have to wait until lunchtime to pop them in the bank, but I cant wait to (how sad!).

    Hope you figure out about your pay MM. I dont get paid until tomorrow. Boooo!

    Jen - hope you get through to talk talk and sort out your comp

    and what a suprise my wages are in!! yeah i am offically loaded! yeah looks like all this cutting costs and budgeting is really working! i should be able to save about £600 from this month!! (dunno where to put it) and i will still have extra cash. i can't really work it out as i have spent a fortune ( £180 car tax £195 shed) i took dd to longleat friday and tuesday with free tickets my aunt won but still paid for some bit and lunch plus petrol!! dd is home and has eated loads but it doesn;t seem to have cost much!

    also with the £400+ hopefully coming from the electric company i will be very close to my target to fill isa in april!! wwwwoooooooooooooooohhhhhhhhhooooooooo

    Wow, you're having a good day Jen, that's great about the savings. I've still got almost £2,500 of my ISA allowence left so I'm very unlikely to fill it the way I'm going, but I'll give it a good go.

    I feel even worse today than I did yesterday and I didn't have a great night. I hate colds :(. Oh, my locket sold on ebay last night for £9 but it hasn't been paid for yet. I'm hoping it will be soon as that means I would be able to withdraw a bit over £50 from paypal.
    Finally bought a home
