  • Ahh thats more than me hun, i have about £30/£40 thats with my new wages but with the wages i am getting now, not all of my bills were getting paid well they were but i was borrowing peter to pay paul and that isn't including my bonuses which i will be getting hopefully once a month.Not sure if thats how it works. Also i hope to get a chunk of holiday money owed to me when i leave which will go off my highest paid interest credit card.
