  • :j About the list :T

    I love completing things on the list... unfortunately I have to leave it for a bit because most of the things require money that I need to save :o

    Working tomorrow, so yay for public holiday rates.. 6.5 hours at double time and a half... will be getting close to my weekly wage for working one day! lol.

    Really need to get some uni work today, going to try to go through chapters 1-6 of my Media Planning and Buying Text. Ok.. better be off!

  • Well, started getting into the Uni work yesterday, and monster uni assignment is on its way. :A

    Money from boy as well as my pay came through today, so have made a bit of a dent in the debts. Paid another hundred off the Mac, and another hundred off the ANZ card... so from here on out will wait for my statements to come in and will pay as large a chunk as is possible with what's in my second account. Kind of hoping this theory will allow some extra cash to build up as an emergency pillow as well... ;)

    Australia day today! So will have my temporary tattoo flags on my face when I go into work today, need to stay in the spirit somehow! :D

  • Thanks ziggles, I love seeing the numbers go down to! It's like a little bit of stress just flies away... :p

    Well, did a slightly shorter 6 hours shift yesterday.. but will still get paid for 15 hours... Gotta love the public holidays :T

    Not doing too much with the list currently.. mainly working on the bigger goals like paying off debts and working on my degree, as well as the get below 55kgs. Want to get some extra equipment for the Wii so mum and I can do it together. Need to do some driving, maybe tomorrow too, to keep working for that license. 120 hours is ridiculous.... rrr :mad:

    Anyway, hope everyone is going well!
