Hi all - still no new job or even interviews! And my aunt has been given days to live.... not a good week so far!

Did get our combined gas and elec bill tho - they owe US £356. They have suggested a new payment amount which is £26 a month less but without refunding what they owe us....:mad: I am wondering about asking for the credit back OR a payment holiday for 3 months and then the reduced rate.... It shows the shivering we did in the autumn and early part of winter was worth it LOL! :j Otherwise I think we will still end up with them owing us £300+ at the end of next year - why should they have my money all that time!

Unfortunately this month I need to pay the £275 for my August holiday - (we can reclaim it after the holiday) and I also need to pay my car insurance - the quote is roughly for what we are owed by the utility companies!:eek:

One of my interviews paid mileage - so waiting for that to come back £96! and I will have some other work expenses to pay out tomorrow - probably another £50!

I have been offered one of those presentations where they give you £50 for attending with your partner - need to strong arm OH into coming - need to confirm!:rolleyes:

Sorry for the whinge but feeling carp today!

Oh sorry to hear about you aunt savingholmes.. And bloody utility companies, happy to take our money, but not ever willing to give it back!! Grrr! Another £30.08 to student loan pot from amazon sales. Will try to get £200 more saved before next payment date which is 5/5. Already have £145.36 and another £40 to come so only need to find another £14.64 and still have plenty of time.

Just made an extra, mid-month payment of £100 using some money I'd saved for gym membership. I'll have to rely on the great outdoors to get fit instead. So that's upped my total a little.
