Yay another Monday out the way so I am a happy bunny, we had a new guy start today who will hopefully ease the pressure on me.
I have been doing 2 jobs pretty much since October when they made the receptionist redundant and a team member of mine left last month so been doing a lot of that job too and the last month has been a bit manic, fingers crossed it will slow down again now a bit.
I am supposed to get my annual pay rise at beginning of July and there was talk of us not getting any due to the credit crunch but they are now taking on new stuff so I am going to ask for my review and see what happens. My one last year was rubbish but it will all help.
The will of my grandmother who passed away 3 months ago was read today, I haven't been left any monies but a sewing machine and I might get some bits and bobs my mother is happy for me to sell so might get a few more pennies for the house deposit.
Might not be worth collecting them though due to the petrol to get it all!Now a SAHM trying to earn some spare pennies each month0 -
Evening chick. Fingers crossed for a payrise even if its only a small amount. Every penny counts.Proud to be dealing with my debts - DFW No: 712

Hope you get a pay rise, ours have been cancelled because of recession! I am lucky though as they have kept in graduate payrises so i get mine next month ut then thats it till it gets better again0

Its the threat of diabetes that scares me with him

I am having a bad evening tonight, been spending money on nothing aka bingo and just feel that I am going to have to wait years to own my house
.
Read something in the news that in about 9 months house prices will stop dropping but there is no way we will be able to buy by then.
I want a baby more than a house but both me and OH agree we need to buy a house before we have one otherwise it will be much harder.
Just feel as if I am walking into a brick wall at the moment and OH isn't helping with spending on his credit card either.....Now a SAHM trying to earn some spare pennies each month0 -
Do not worry. You are just having a down day by the sounds of it. I am sure you will get there one day even if it doesnt seem like it now0
