    Its just because its not that busy at the moment (the downside to being agency staff).

    Wel its been a funny few days for me, got my hours cut at work so wont be paying off car as fast as I thought (will be down about £100 a month, still better than losing it completely (the job that is!!) but then today my parents said that as they had to buy my sis a fridge freezer (hers packed up the night she gave birth...great!) that they would knock the equivalent money off my car debt to them..£300 result!!

    Well done on scratchcard Stacy, thats great!

    Jen - i would love a henry hoover, used to use them at a old job

    Sorry to hear about your hours Mable but at least your parents have been so kind to knock some off debt!

    Had some good news today that my pay which i thought was going up next month went up this month so they are going to put it backdated to 1st may in my end of June pay, will be a nice bonus!

    well done on the scratch card. I am sure it must eb my turn soon, haven't had a fiver this year!

    I am doing rubbish on my make 5 pounds a day this month. Don't think it helped having a week away but got a few things that should payout soon so hopefully next month will be better.
