  • Well done on the oven, overtime and the holidays.

    Hope you've enjoyed your meal - and i have to say paying off so much money whilst being off and then having just got back to work with a baby is amazing.

    I dont feel very inspirational! But Thank you x x

    Just popped on to tell you all I am doing loads of overtime again this week. Just done 2 hours extra. 7am start tomorrow so 1 extra hour, Thursday I am doing a split shift of 7am till 12pm and then 6pm until 11pm :eek: and then 6pm until 11pm Firday as well. Hoping to get some for Saturday too as the wicked withc mother in law is coming so will need to go out anyway and might as well get paid for it!!

    Havent worked out how best to use my hard earned extra cash yet, mostly of debts but am going to save some for treats on hols too.

    Hello:hello:

    Got more overtime! They have put the Saturday up today so Im working 7-1 and also Sunday (double bubble!:j:j) 10-3. I am sad that I will miss loads of family time this week but figure it is only 1 week and means we can have a nice holiday and my main drive as you guys know is that I want to clear my CCs this year so I can try and move next year to be near a nice school for Pip.

    Just come off phone to HMRC and they have dropped my payments by £40 :eek: a month because I told them I am working less hours? :confused: Not sure how that works :confused:. I think its a completely carp way they do it, why do we have to provide the figures when they are the Tax office and they take the tax? Surely they should know how much we earn? :mad::mad::mad: Rant over!!

    Actually small extra mini rant as I realise that the more overtime I do this month the more tax I will have to pay so grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!:mad::mad:

    I have a new, well new to me, phone. Friend just got a spanking new Iphone and as mine was crackered I have bought her nice pink shiny one off her for £20. Its hardly used but she can upgrade so she did! Same friend also has just had a new kitchen fitted and has a "spare" cooker so need to see if it will fit in our gap. Our old one was a built in so we may need to adapt the worktop a bit.

    Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm all I can think of for now so TTFN x x

    Great news. Yes you will pay more tax and possibly lose some more tax credits but overall you will still be better off. :)

    Good news about the cooker, if you are considering moving better to hold off on buying a new one till you have new kitchen in a new house.

    Thats kind of my plan Kidcat.

    I have a cunning plan for the weekend. I am declaring this weekend:
    stars.gifmake as much money as I can weekendstars.gif

    To do this i will:
    • List items on Ebay as I have access to internet at work
    • List some Games on Amazon
    • Do some surveys
    • Write a letter to Morrisons magazine as you can win £50 vouchers
    • Earn double time or time and a half
    • Look through cashback sites to see if there are any things I can sign up for
    I will keep you posted on how much I manage to make!
