Boo Hooooo!!!!
Im not having a very good couple of weeks.
My parents brought a new tall freezer last month. And we have trouble opening the door is just too stuck on. anyway, i just went to go in freezer couldnt open door...gave it a hard tug door flew open and hit me in the eye..(well just on eyebrow bone) plus to top it off a door inside freezer fell off and smashed on the floor. Mum will not be happy when she gets off hols and im not happy i have a massive lump on my eyebrow and im worried it will turn into a black eye!!

Lightspeed has paid the £5 into Paypal now (hopefully yours has arrived too CL). So ive just withdrawn £50 from paypal.
Also Lovefilm has received my DVD back so just cancelled with the online. What an easy £17!
I got my pay slip today was dreading seeing how much i lost from having the day off last week. (our wages are collected wednesday to wednesday so the wednesday i also had off was taken off of last weeks pay) I was only down by £21 in the end so not too bad.
Thank god its Friday 2moz.

Its Friday! Yay!:j
I got some worrying news at lunch from my OH that his work place had a meeting with the staff today saying work is drying up a little and some people may have to be made redundant if things get any worse. OH told me that his job is safe though.....how he knows this for sure i dont know. But i do know the baby plans will be going on hold until we know his job is safe. Theres no way i would try for a baby knowing OH's job isnt safe!
I did a survey yesterday and have £4 Luncheon vouchers on there way.
Im just off to do some comping now.Make £5 a day JAN £121/175 FEB £283/175:jWeekly Grocery budget of £35! Jan £95.05/175 Feb £37.53/1750 -
Hi
I hope you find out soon that your OH's job is definately safe, awful that people have to worry like this.
Can I ask what surveys you do to get the luncheon vouchers?0 -
Thanks KM.
He builds cables for an X-ray department, so theres always work there. But not as much as there used to be his hasnt done overtime for 2 months now. There used to be overtime nearly everyday!
I get the Lucheon vouchers from Pine cone surveys. If your not a member then just keep checking the referral thread as they only let you join by invite unfortunatly.Make £5 a day JAN £121/175 FEB £283/175:jWeekly Grocery budget of £35! Jan £95.05/175 Feb £37.53/1750 -
