    Very short on money this month as there has been a real lack of shifts for job 2 which pays weekly and usually funds my food/travel/other expenses each week. Will try again tomorrow to book some shifts but there doesnt seem to be much going :(

    I know the feeling, all of my overtime has dried up since Christmas.:(
  • Next months budget looks alright but then again I havent had my winter bill for gas/electric yet...
  • Put some DVDs onto the music magpie site, wee £10 coming my way soon.
  • Really pi**ed off. Had to put some food on my credit card and also up my overdraft up to 470 because I havent got enough in my account to pay for the bills that come out before my payday. I usually have plenty money saved up because of job #2 but they are messing me about and I have been living off the money I had saved in my account for when shifts are short.

    Huge steps backwards for me this month.
  • Nearly payday, it cant come quick enough !
  • Dubit - 1500 - 2500
    Yougov - 1225 - 5000
    Valued opinions - 245, waiting for 250 and have £10 in amazon
    Pinecones - £3 in paypal
    Onepoll - 2475 - 4000
    Quidco - 16.96 saved - still waiting on a few things being tracked
    Waiting on £10ish from music magpie aswell.
  • Due bill for gas and electric over the next week or so, I think its going to be a :eek: one at best. Not looking forward to it at all !

    Bright side, march and aprils budget looks pretty good (at the moment this isnt taking into consideration the gas/electric yet)

    Feb was awful compared to Jan, really short on money because of the lack of shifts but hopefully I can make up for it in March.

    Been a good few days since my last post, always something going on.

    Gas and electric bills werent too scary but still quite big. Heating is going back to only being put on when guests are in or im not well and need a heat.

    Valued opinions and onepoll are going well this month. Closer and closer to payouts.

    Been given extra shifts in work so thats really helped ease the stress, so much so im getting a haircut (badly needed). Also got told today that I am getting extra hours in job 1 ! Which is really good because it means Ill be less stressed if im there more, get more done and things wont get missed by others if I can check up more ;) Itll only be for a few months but hopefully I can get some money saved in that time.

    Got my trip away to look forward to now, I have a whole week where I wont be working but will be with friends. I havent had that kinda time with my friends in a very very long time.

    Double glazing paid, need to check the balance to see what its at now though. Overdraft and credit card arent accurate now either but Ill get them back to what it says soon.

    Been a bit M.I.A. recently, working so many hours and today is my first proper day off in ages.

    My debt doesnt look like it is reducing like last year but I am trying just to save the last £400 of my overdraft to clear it. The savings took a bit of a battering with the gas/electric bill though as I wasnt expecting it to be as much. You live and learn though !

    My trip isnt far away now so I have had to save money for spending aswell.

    The next couple of months Ill have good wage packets coming my way and hopefully (according to my sums) a tax rebate.

    Hope everbody is well. Ill do a proper update and new "currently" part of my sig soon :)
