  • OK, well here I ago another go at this I guess!

    Review OH lost £60k job- after 10 months started being a temp postie working 25 hours a week, this was for three months but they keep renewing so it is feeling a bit more stable.
    Redundancy money all gone now.
    We can manage like this- it's just a challenge for me.
    My job ok although I work for an !!!!! so am looking to change.

    Last week did OH's tax return on line on Tuesday and had an extra £4500 in bank account by Friday!!:eek::beer:

    How to spend this...... thinking £1k daughters uni fees, £1k to barclaycard, £1k on hall wall (something strange living below the plaster) and if that all works out maybe last bit on some winter sun and a little diving :o

    Life busy and fun- how are you guys!
    LBM- finally kicked in 16/12/08 @ [strike]£41,862 [/strike] £0.00/ DFD- 24/12/13 :D

  • Oh I'm sorry....... ok you want to know :-)
    Well I've been dead busy, I'm still looking for another job, I now work for a ridiculous woman and to be honest work is drying up a bit so I need to move soon as.
    And I've also been busy training as a divemaster :cool: this way I can help train other divers and chaperone on dives without having to pay to dive :dance::dance:
    I owe about £14500 and it WILL be paid off in two year:think::shocked:

  • OK it was not that hard really!
    But I've been having a really busy fun time :-)
    My youngest daughters BF is currently starring in a West end musical and I've been making weekly trips to see said show and drink with them after the show:beer:
    I have also bought a lot of diving gear from ebay and am diving lots :p I can be found in a muddy puddle somewhere in the south of England most weekends pretending to be darth vader.
    Still going stong at the pub quiz and thinking about booking a cheapy in Lanzerote in November :o
    Just because I'm skint does not mean I can't live surely :-)..... guess what I did last week though.... during the interval of the show I tend to go to the theatre bar;) they sell those little wine bottles you get on planes for £5.60 so last week when in Sainsburys on Sunday I saw little wines for £1.50 so I bought a couple and shoved them in my bag and took them to the show:eek:

    Another post from OBNW? Surely not - quick get her to the Docs... must have a bad case of the 'bends'!!

    To be honest I think £5.60 for a small bottle of wine is :eek: and the £1.60 bottle taken with you is:T

    Glad you're having fun though :beer: Nats x

  • Hi Nats I think you are the only person that visits my diary:p

    Well done on losing the cards honey looks like our totals are similar now :cool: however I'm only going to be paying off about £350pm and there will be interest in that too!!!
    I had another lovely weekend splashing about in a muddy puddle and dived all day for £14.... not having to hire any kit is fantastic (even though my stuff is a bit on the retro/vintage side)
    Am still thinking about that holiday in November but am waiting on news of a job first please cross everything for me as I really really like this one :drool::drool: but think I may be :wall:

    Nats do I get a prize if I manage two posts in one week?
