I fell off the wagon

Keep going peeps! You can do it just think how great it will be when it's all gone. Slow and sure, you'll get there in the end

I am working 5 nights this week, but I have been very lax on the whole money saving front. That said I still paid some off, and I do have a little more to come.

Still apprehensive about my results, plan at the moment is to work as much as I can now before they come in, so that if I am resitting then I can slow down a little.

Hey - I'm officially back on line!!! woohoo!

Ooooohhhhh, you're catching up determined....watch out Justruth!!! xx

Ooh it's back on! Well I have decided to go back North for a few weeks, I'm working Glastonbury which is a good money spinner and I have the money from my trial to come but other than that I am not booked for work over the summer and rather than stay here and work my usual venue I am putting DD first and going to spend some quality time with her. It does mean that I will be paying out next to nothing in terms of rent and food, but it also means that I won't be earning like I had intended. (Also have DD's birthday coming up eek!)

In this time however I can get my tax return done, as I work it I think that they owe me, but they may disagree. I can also maybe look at scraping in a little cash from other places and selling stuff that I have lived all year quite happily without!

Well I managed to lose my phone tonight, and someone managed to steal it. It's mildly irritating but not the end of the world, the contract is up for renewal in 3 months anyway. I think I may use my time and my bartering skills to see what I can get in terms of a new contract.

I've booked a van for moving my stuff, I've seen a flat I like and I've booked the train (for when I finished moving my stuff) to get back home. Fingers crossed I pass my medic test tomorrow and I can start working as a medic in July.

What a strange day!

I passed my first medic course, and I think I am booked on a higher level medic course for July, it cost best part of £400 but then I am due to renew my door license this financial year, and that costs £250! At least I can do something I am a little more interested in and not spend the entire of winter with a cold. It will probably be similar hours to what I do now but at least I will have more time to sit down and look at my books!

Mudbath

Yeah! Congratulations Justruth...I bet you're so relieved you passed! Well done and good luck with the next one xx
