Afternoon all!
Later today due to flipping work!
Had a good surprise yesterday - phoned Student Finance people to nag about my application and they've done it and I've got the tuition and maintainence loans but also a non-paybackable grant for almost £3000! Yeah:j:j:j
So last night I went through all of my finances for the next year whilst I retrain and its doable - not overly comfortably but should be ok. Its a bit of a relief really.
I also pick up my new car today after work - exciting! Downsizing isn't such a bad thing!
The rest of my list...- Brekkie at home
- Free lunch with clients at work
- Leftover HM curry for tea
- Walk dog for free exercise
- Phoned BMW to terminate the contract on the car I currently have - can do this as I've paid much more than half of the agreement - they didn't like it but its my legal right - so there!
- Called car insurance people for a quote on transferring the insurance to the new car - was almost as much as a new year long policy with someone else! The cheek! Am now going to pay £25 cancellation fee instead.
- Hoover upstairs
- Have a NSD - apart from the £800 I have to give to the car dealer!
- Check banks
- Have a general tidy round

I hadn't even thought of that! A free cup of instant coffee and a bag o' ready salted crisps were my 'reward'0
