  • Rog, any news, been thinking of you :D
    Beanie, thanks for those address' I still havent heard back from age concern. I think I will wait untill I am back from my holiday to chase them and then try that new site. Thansk for all the help :j
    Tps, :rotfl: no chance of scaring me away. I agree too, I have had a couple bad days this week but I have put them behind me now... I am quite fortunate now because I only really have 9 working days untill my holiday. So at least I havent got to put up with some of the added presure work brings.

    Ok I am trying to get organised so here is just some waffle. I have £13.10 left now for the remainder of the month. So that will be used for £3 work birthday and Mums cinema trip, its orange wednesday so that will cost £6.15 as you get one free. I then have £3.95 left for the rest of the month. I need to pay for postage of ebay items and then I need to buy some trousers, both of which mum is going to lend me. I am hoping this will not be more than £40.

    So my income next month (approx) £500 my outgoings are £286.90 leaving £213.10. Then I need to return the £40 I am about to borrow from mum. That leaves £173.10, obviously I need to get my laptop payed off asap. So my plan is to pay £100 from that leaving £73.10 as extras that I plan to half and put £43.10 into savings leaving £30 for me ontop of the £20 I had already budgetted.

    The laptop will then stand at £147.81 to pay before the end of July. That is 3 months wages after April to clear it. So I plan to pay off £100 in May, June is internet month so will plan to pay £20. Then in July I will pay the £27.81 left over :j That will clear in time for the 31st.

    Phew, so thats me just now. Thanks for reading :rotfl:

  • Sf ~ I am cool, how are you? Last I heard of you your uni block was on fire :eek: Are you ok? Finished uni yet?
    Poppy ~ Lol ocd coming into play there. I have to be organised or I worry, real bad. The only thing I dont care for is my work hours. As long as I know I am working a certain day thats good enough for me up untill the night before :rotfl:
    Beanie ~ I am off on the 17th, back the 24th. We usually only go for 4 nights but I promised mum we would go for 7 this year. I am actually looking forward to it now, compared to the beggining of the month. Just one more google directions to print and then we are ready :rotfl:

    It'll take 9 months, and yeah, pretty excited! :) I'm fed up of living at home, and none of my friends being here, so the sooner September comes, the better!

  • Well as long as you are looking forward to it. I undrstand your comment about living at home though. I guess all your friends are around uni/different parts of the uk, thats a bit of a pain. After uni are you going straight into teaching then? What are you going to teach or are you planning to be a primary teacher?

    Sorry about all the questions but I have missed you :rotfl:

    Yeah, some of my friends are still at uni, others have moved miles away! My bf lives an hour away, and it just gets a bit frustrating being here. lol :p You go straight into teaching as soon as the year is up, which is a bit scary! :eek: I'm going to teach music in a secondary school, i must be mad! :eek:
