Hey All

CMD how wonderful to see the pic of your baby - how exciting! Congratulations!

Hope you get better soon Flower, Poddle and Dinah - have a great party.

I am now officially finished all our trade shows and events, and having a proper 2 day weekend. And I enrolled on my course earlier this week, so I'm now a proper student again. It felt AMAZING to write a cheque for my fees so thanks everyone for all the help with the extra moneymaking because it really worked.

I worked a whopping 9 extra days this month, but after tax, NI and all that rubbish I am only seeing around £550. But I have also got a £300 tax rebate from last year, so I have got £1000 for some new savings. Just debating whether to get a new laptop or not with my Apple education discount (£772) or whether to be good and stash it in the ISA for the house deposit......

I got the job!! :j Im so excited, theres a possibility that it could turn to a supervisor position - she said she was very interested about some of the customer service experience i have and the ideas i expressed in the interview. Its still only part time at the minute, but its more hours so very pleased.

Have also decided that i really need to get back into dooyoo and try and get some amazon vouchers ready for christmas, aiming for at least 2 reviews a day but will hopefully do more.

On not so great news - i still feel rubbish - in fact worse!! Hope i feel better soon!

Hope you have a great party Dinah and NIM.

Well done Flower! :beer: That's really good that there's the chance of the supervisor position too! Hope you feel better soon!

Lara, I think I'd be tempted to buy the laptop! Well done on paying off your fees! :T

I have been all over the place today looking for matcha powder but the only powder I could find was £6.50 for 25g! :eek: Don't really wanna spend that much but I was looking forward to making grren tea cupcakes for the family meal tomorrow. Ah well! I might try and order some off the net.

If you need the laptop go for Lara it if you have the money to pay for it. Then you can save for deposit after.

Yay about the job Flower - that is great news. I need to do some more dooyoo as well.

I had a good night out lst night and managed to stay under the budget I set myself although I then spent that money on hair products at the hairdressers today, never mind better than spent on booze.

With my MSE head on I'd say buy a cheaper laptop and put the rest into your house deposit ISA. But after all the saving you did I say you deserve a treat, get the laptop!

Fab news about the job Flower! When do you start?

What? Sarah is dead??? What happened? And what is going on with Jake?

Well *ahem* You know Sarah went all Lesbian on us? And started seeing that girl with short blonde hair, Lydia? Well it turns out she's a tad crazy. So when her, Sarah and Zoe went on this skydriving weekend she got even more crazy because Sarah made a move on Zoe. So Lydia got all knife happy with the parachuting packs and cut the ropes on what she thought was Zoe's backpack. But, turns out it was Sarah's. So Sarah kind of splatted on the floor, and Lydia planted the knife she used on Zoe. So Zoe is being held for Sarahs murder, and Lydia slit her wrists but I'm not too sure if she's dead or not.
And I think Jake is being released from the crazy house, he's on it on Monday all nicely shaven and what not and asking to see Steph.
Don't know if that makes any sense or not!

Hope everyone has a nice end of Sunday! I've got a little pile of things to try and review so I best get a crack on.

Start in a week, just gave my weeks notice for my current job. They said they were sad to see me leave and what could they do to get me to stay, i told them more hours which unfortunatly they cant give me.

I've just made a list of things in my room that i can review - found quite a lot of body shop stuff - explains where alot of my money has gone

Thanks Lara - well done on the savings. You should get the laptop!

CMD- so lovely to see your new little bundle.

My Mam has been back into hospital she had to have a blood transfusion as her blood count was so low. The average women should have a count of between 12 and 14 and hers was 7 so not good. She come out this evening so needs a lot of rest.

Still busy with ebay but one of the items we sent has arrived broken so not sure if we claim or we send the recipt and they claim.
