    i live round the corner from an ikea (almost literally!) so am now a seasoned ikea shopper - i just head straight to the area i need without looking at anything else. a list is probably a good idea, just have what you need to buy on it and be strict about sticking to it - definitely a shop where they have loads of stuff that you didn't know you "needed" until you see it! :)

    :Anow... to start some serious saving :A


  • Well after my happy post a few days ago the money has arrived in my account - 6 days including the weekend so that is pretty good.

    This means that I am out of overdraft :j which is really good as I don't get paid until the end of the week so I won't be starting the next 3 month period with an overdraft to pay off which I did last time mainly because I had to pay the tax I have just reclaimed back :rolleyes:

    I am still unsure whether I am getting 3 months pay or 6 months - mixed messages from the Managing Director I am just going to wait and see. The practical difference that would make is that I would make the debt repayment now that I was planning to make at the end of Jan when the next pay would be due if I dont get it now - which would be nice but won't make a big difference long term except I would have less Balance Transfer fee to pay. Oh well I will find out when I get my cheque on Friday. Then I need to do some financial juggling for the next 3 or 6 months debt repayment plan.

    Have a great day.

    Hurray for money arriving - thats very good news, tho I really don't like that level of mixed message, I'd be very wary of incompetency.

    Wish I was out on the Liffey walking in the sunshine - I thought it was going to go sunny here, and it decided not to, boo hiss.

    Great newson the tax rebate...yuck to having to juggle everything.
    Not heard or received anything back yet myself from tax rebate...wish they would hurry up.
  • OK I have been paid :j

    And it is 6 months pay (which is possibly a good thing because I can pay some debt off earlier but OMG the next payday will be end April :eek: I will have to be so careful in the budgeting dept pity we have to live for the next 6 months it would make a lovely dent in the debt :D)

    So now I can make plans but can't actually bring them into fruition for a few days because I get paid by cheque :rolleyes:

    BTW Karma it wasn't incompetency on the MDs part I had suggested having 3 months pay now and 3 months at the end of Jan to soften the blow of not agreeing to a even bigger paycut and to allow for Christmas takings but because of the year end that was not possible.

    Off to find an envelope to scribble on :rotfl:

    I have won £2.50 on King today and £1.66 yesterday it all helps. Nothing on Britain so still level on that but I do know how the CGs work now if anyone wants the info let me know I have won £6 bonus money but still not been able to win with it:rolleyes:
