Spent £3.50 at WW today, possible bus ride tomorrow, though I'm hoping to get a lift home instead- so should stay on budget!

Morning all,

NSD for me yesterday, finished off the xmas shopping but thats out of a different pot.

ooo a bank pointy? do you have lots of control over other peoples money? what made you choose law? i'm a qualified lawyer but after 7 years training and 10 years working in family law i couldn't take any more! i'm currently studying computer networking, which is ok but the programming side of things bores me silly! give me a cable and let me crawl under floorboards anyday!

how long have you been childminding chuggingtongirl? what do you fancy retraining in?

Nah not control over people's money mainly just the bank's. I sometimes deal with humongous sums but it is not real money when it is not yours, just numbers on a screen.

I choose law as I am quite analytical and like constructing arguements. Not sure if I will like being a lawyer or be any good at it but I am enjoying the learning. I think the idea of being in my head is much nicer than the reality of it. What was the best and worst thing about law when you did it?

Today I spent £3 in canteen at work on breakfast and munchies.

Hi, sorry for the late start but is it ok if I join in. I'm a student and don't have much money.... Sooo here we go.

I'm going to go for £10 but that's got to include my shopping and train fare home to see mummy and daddy :P

Today I spent £1.29 on a foul mc donalds burger but needed to socialise with friends (I can't afford to go out much) and I was hungry!

Yay! 2 NSDs in a row keep me at £0!

true27 - I'm a paramedic - love the job, but it's physically hard work, especially constantly switching between day and night shifts.

pointypenguin - any chance you could sort us all out with some 0% loans? ...

Welcome regan.lottie I have added you to the list.

chris would like to sort you all out with a 0% loans but my work involves lots of weird and wonderful financial products made to make rich banks lots of money. I was on a course about futures today and all the time I kept thinking it just sounded like gambling/betting but without the horses

I specialised in family matters so the best bit for me was making a genuine difference to peoples lives and actually helping them to get through the most difficult time of their lives. The hardest part was when you knew that your client was in the wrong. I remember one man coming to me with divorce papers from his wife citing violence who sat in front of me and said "yeah i did it, so can you get me the house?".... that was a toughy.
