Happy Friday All! :j
Bigbum - Sorry I didn't reply yesterday, had to get home. Shift went ok. At first I thought how am I going to get the hang of this and the trays are sooooooo heavy! but by the end of the night I was ok. Got £16 in tips which will go straight on the card and should get wages next week so will see how they work out after tax and possibly student loan deducations. Your second job sounds good. The way I am seeing it at the mo is that although I wish I didn't have to work two jobs (well I don't need to to live but it will help clear the debts and give me a bit more security) I am lucky to have one job let alone two, especially in the current climate. I could be doing worse jobs too so I am thinking myself lucky
Today and weekend:
Drive economically
Do some washing on low and hang up to dry
Get some ingredients for cake making at the weekend if I have time
Check emails
Brought lunch into work
Free scratches - My total seems to have gone up by a bit more than I won yesterday?
Free mag from work for Dad and brother
If we are not out tomorrow I will be doing LOADS of sorting out at home as still not completely sorted since we moved. Lots of cleaning too - I didn't realise things got so dusty so quick!
Go to Mum and Dads on Sunday for Sunday dinner
and get my new bank card
Have a great day all and great weekend. Probably won't be back on till Monday after today as no internet connection at home yet :sad:0 -

Hello all
Just did my weekly shopping (mind I am on a thread budget this month) spent - £10.07 on fruit and veggies - dont need anything else.
So am still (just) under budget and thats even by being so naughty last night and having fish and chips!!
Huge welcome to Wik - if she sticks her nose on here today.....I hope she will I keep ranting on about you lot.
She is the keeper of all things which are secrets in my life and my 9/10 sister - which considering we have a different mum and a different dad - isn't too bad.
As they often say - I can never fall out with her - she KNOWS too much!!
Glad to see everyone is very busy on here today.Total debt 26/4/18 <£1925 we were getting there. :beer:
