    PAP! I missed you :)

    So you had a blib, your savings covered it, so it's all good :D I had to empty my savings over my five months not earning very much but health is way more important than money and ultimately, you're going to be around long and earning longer and enjoying a happy and long retirement ;)

  • Hi all, thanks, It all starts on Monday so we will see. Feeling much better now regarding finances just got to wait and see what Monday brings :)
  • Well i have just checked my account and my wages have already gone in. This sometimes happens on the weekend. So the savings has been transferred and I will be withdrawing the money for my monthly spends on Monday :D

    Ok little update from me, everythings payed and I had only the £40 to spend all month. So its now the 21st and this is how I am going :D I have £28.00 left of my 'me' money. I spent the £12 on postage (£1.99) glue sticks (£4.99) and my brothers 21st meal (£4.99) and the 3p went into my savings pig. I have £8 in my purse and £20 in my current account. In my savings I have £152.00 plus my standing order of £25.00 when it transfers over. That means my savings are at £177.00 already :j My current account has all the funds needed to pay off the remaining bills/direct debits this month and everything is looking rosey. So far I have stuck to my craft diet and only brought glue and I spent my £21.70 on my Su club. It was a little extra because I didnt budget for the postage but I did receive something free so it weighs it out :D

    So this is me just now :) I will prob update this next monday or wednesday :D

    Take care all and have a wonderfull christmas
  • sounds like you are doing really well. Looking forward to your next update:D
