    I just think you're dead good to have a spreadsheet to work from - not something I've done yet!

    At least it's not as bad as you first thought and you can rein things in a bit - £100 overdrawn isn't too bad at the end of the month if you've kept everything on track.

    I can't wait to be doing overpayments from next month (LOL does that sound sad?!!!)

    Hope work is bearable for you x

    Hello

    Works good thanks not feeling as tired and getting back into the swing of things. You may have seen the news about job losses due to the merger. Had a cascade today advising what was happening in our part of the group. 103 jobs at risk which is sad but thankfully my department safe. HBOS staff and management mainly at risk.

    Not long till friday when I should be able to start [STRIKE]walking [/STRIKE]limping.

    Cash wise ok, did spend £10 on Mcds yesterday for OH and me and i spent £5 on lunch so not great. £100 paid for school meals so thats covered for a while.

    Enjoy your week off Taxi hope its both productive and restful.

    Jo - excitement at overpaying is not sad at all. You've become a proper DFW!

    :hello:

    Right just a few things to update on:
    • next hospital appointment less than 24 hours away :j
    • no work till Tues
    • Share offer should result in a profit. Hoping for 100% but as always depends on market. Very unlikely to lose and not massive amount at risk.
    • OH car had service and repairs in under £300 budget at £271 but was hoping for less. Nothing big left to fix just MOT next month.
    • Spent £3 and £5 for last two days lunches so really need to make more effort to take stuff to work especially as I did a £60 shop.
    • Finally picked up my lotto winnings from months ago so £14 there
    • Car tax paid gone up another £5 to £190
    Feeling physically tired at the mo but other than that things ok. Not too emotional considering its that dreaded time of the month :eek:
