    Evening,

    I had another mega busy day at work today, im so tired i reckon i will be in bed by 8pm tonight! We're suppose to have 6 chambermaids where i work but staff left and never got replaced so now theres 4.
    But one is off sick and the other chambermaid has thurs & friday' off so 2moz there will only be 2 of us to do 60 rooms! We're only suppose to do 9 rooms each a day! Toady we had 15 each!! 2moz and fri we will have 30 each! Its a joke and boss has said he wont be employing anyone esle.:confused:

    But its all good for money as on this weeks pay slip (wed-wed) i have 5 hours overtime:) They wasnt going to pay me that either, i checked my clockcard and they had missed 2 hours off my pay!...makes me laugh 2 people check the cards and didnt notice!

    RANT OVER:mad:

    Anyway, i had a £15 spend on bare minerals foundation from ebay. Its great stuff for my skin and one pot lasts me a year! So fab value!:)

    My Qype stuff STILL not arrived! I will give them until friday before i email them.:(

    I got my wage slip today i earned £20 extra for the overtime upto yesterday :)
    I also got home to a win today a loreal mascara:T

    Yesterday my mobile contract finally came to an end so i changed to £20 a month no contract and more mins etc than what i was paying £35 for same provider:rolleyes: :D When i move out i will lower it to the £15 a month. So im now saving £15 more a month now!;) yay!

    I got lucky on bingoport today, i dont do too well as i hate potsing so i just try to win the points in slots, today i won 4,440 in one go so now have enough to redeem £5 Amazon.:)

    Morning,
    I cant believe its the 1st of feb already!:eek: And its soooo cold and very lightly snowing too! Brrrrrrrr, this weather makes me soo lazy, all i want to do is lay under my duvet!:rolleyes:

    All my ebay items end today, everything has bids on and are doing quite well at the mo, they have 4 hours left.

    I still havent fit that speedo yet! Its so cold i dont want to go outside to do it. But i MUST force myself today.
    I also have a load more junk to list on ebay again today.

    I sqeezed a bit of extra money out of my account today seeing my mobile bill has now gone down and put another £100 into my ISA.

    New ISA total £2800:D New deposit total £13,200:)

    Hopefully by the end of this week i will have £3k in there, from overtime,wages, and ebay items!
