    Just went to re-order a coop visa card as I have to pay some rent arrears still and they've offered my 0% for 9 months! Wooo, so the barclaycard will go ( with 350 on 19% :eek:) and the rent arrears on that card when it comes... not pleased about having to do this, but cheaper than my overdraft.

    Worked nights last night (and indeed will do for the rest of the week) so no spend as sleeping all day (when I get off here!)

    Secondly, at the end of my shift, I finally found the lady in charge of authorising my 'emergency' on call locum shift (for a colleague who was ill) and she signed the form! This means that I will get an extra £240 gross on my May paycheque!
    Hurrah! Hurrah! Hurrah!

    Woo hoo!

    I cycled to work in the rain, but felt very virtuous when I finished the four miles.
    I also managed to get an interim payment of some of my back-pay organised so next week I should have nearly £1000 extra to throw at my debt (although I suspect that a small bit of it will be re-routed to pay for a more comfortable saddle for my bike... :) )

    Fizzel, take a deep breath, dont be so hard on yourself...

    Right, is there anything in the cupboards to make dinner with? A pizza? Egg & chips? Beans on toast? Dont worry about it, something will turn up lovey.

    BTW £50 on photos? What for?!?!
