    Morning Taxi - how are you? Thinking of reading, I'm off to HH this afternoon to do a 2nd viewing, and I'm taking a stonking great big book with me to read - political science fiction! I should read biography :o I really should, I enjoy it when I do.

    Hi Taxi my end of the month sounds a bit like yours, robbing peter to pay paul etc. Reading what hypno said though makes lots of sense and I think I too will have to pay minimum or just a tad over for a while with the drop in income. There is no point being short of food and essentials just to "get there quicker". I really wish I could do things a bit quicker but needs must and I suppose at least were more aware of where the money goes.
    enjoy your weekend I hope bank holiday will be busy for you.

    Hi all...was ok at work today...by the time DH had worked last night I ended up about £50 in front...so happy with that.
    Paid £160 off BMI today(DHs pension)...and will pay DDs board off next week and then minimums until I have all the money together.
    That sounds like an interesting book Mum2one...I am going to start reading books again.I enjoyed the one I've just read.
    I picked up Sharon Osbourne..extreme...my autobiography in hardback at a charity shop for 50p the other week..so that is my next one to read.
    Hope everyone has a good weekend..I'll be working it.
