    Happy :)

    As a thank you for helping somebody out, they have bought me a leather bag. I have been looking at one on ASOS constantly for about 6 weeks but couldnt justify buying it for myself at £75 ! So they bought it for me and itll be here tomorrow. Christmas has come very early this year.

    On a financial note, nearly payday and Ill update my signature on Monday.

    Bit negative so lets try again !

    I have my trip to look forward to. I have enough money to pay the bills, the debt and also a little bit of spending money for my trip. I have enough to buy food for the month and also extra hours in work to keep me busy. Most of my friends are busy with uni/work anyway so Im not really missing out on anything this month (which is generally my feeling on nights out or girlie nights in with food (cant afford all the extra spending))

    Bright side is that I have paid my gas and electric, no red letters this month. Will update next on extra cash totals for sites.

    Family member in a tough spot financially (we have all been there!) so I have helped them out. Not really expecting or wanting the money back as they have helped me in the past. Little bit of give and take with family so I dont mind. The new signature wont look too healthy this month though but Im feeling really positive just now that I am secure in my job and able to help somebody out.

    Sorted out my tax code for the 10/11 year and also confirmation that I am due a tax rebate for 09/10. Only got half the paper work I need though to send off for a rebate though so Ill probably not get that money til June !

    I am considering moving away from Scotland for a while, spread my wings. Sell my home, use the money that I make (hopefully!) to pay off most of my debt and go away some where.

    Just a pipe dream at the moment but a couple of friends are into the idea aswell. Has anybody done this ? Moved away from their comfort zone and started a little adventure ?

    Good pay this month =) Nice change. Decided to use the little bit extra to fix the problems in the bathroom. Im paying for the parts and my friend is gonna sort the stuff out. Also bought a few things for the house. Im starting to like my home a bit more but still feel really unsettled here, mostly because of work things.
