Summer Sizzler Challenge

Hope78

Sorry folks not been around for a while, just had the busiest time at work it's report card season for us and working out classes for next year etc etc. Anyway just realised that I've totally missed an update date. Do you want to update this weekend or leave it all until our final collation in a few weeks? Answers on a postcard!

Apologies if you felt abandoned, hee hee, but I've still been 'tryin' to earn money for my target.

Me again & another weeks wages from job number 2. £60.76 to add to my total.

Lots to add from me but I keep forgetting to post - two months worth of overtime is the biggest £300 odd

Yeah I'm a teacher Principal Teacher here in Scotland (bit like assistant head positions) so as well as writing reports for my own class I've to check over other people's before HT writes comments. Plus its our P7 leavers assembly so trying to get relucant performers to learn lines, that they have written, is a nightmare! Any way only 3 and a bit weeks to go and it busy busy busy!

My wee daddy - he's a gem has just given me a gift, well a shared gift of £1000!. Months ago I booked our trip to my bro's wedding on my CC and we agreed that they'd then save all the spending money. I'm not gerat at saving you see. Unbeknown to my mum and I he has been subtley saving money in a tin for a few weeks and has handed me this envelope. He has kept it separate from the spending money my mum and him were putting aside. Totally gobsmacked! It has promptly been changed into dollars for my trip to NYC. Dad's? Pure dead brilliant!!!

Huge boost to my total! Also got money back for resources I bought for school. Hadn't planned on claiming it back but boss said I should so it's kind of half found money!

So in one swoop I've not only achieved my bronze but leapt up to silver! Yikes!

I've had a cheque from Global Test Market, and a nice big payout from Quidco, so total boosted somewhat. I doubt I'm going to make Gold in the next few days.
Hope78 your Dad sounds lovely!

JesaRose

What a lovely dad you have - mine is like that too. Count ourselves very lucky

I think I've hit or am close to Platinum

Hope78

I am lucky, very lucky. He just said he knew I was desperately trying to reduce CCs and yet had still paid for our trip on it. Well, it's my mum's first ever flight on a plane (she's terrified), she never even had a passport and hasn't been on holiday for about 20 years! If I'd not booked it then and there she wouldn't be going - caught her at a weak moment.

I'm off out today to buy him a super father's day gift, something for his holidays though to make sure its money well spent
