Hi F_F, fab news on the bonus, good job you didnt get that job now - see it was fate!

I got the settlement figure but it was about £5700 from what I remember and I "only" have £2270 in my savings account + the bonus, so I would be short on money anyway.
My vague plans are thus:
£500 tax and insure the Frugal Fresian Fiesta
£300 spending money for holiday (Needed and deserved) at the end of the month
£200 FUN!
Rest to the debt pot.
It will give my figures a good boost and should see me well on my way to clearing the debt by my 30th birthday.
Must dash - 50 competitions a day won't do themselves :eek:

Of course, I was forgetting that you knocked your savings off your loan total.
woohoo to fun! :j0 -
Plans for Le Weekend:
1. Get through a days work without beating any of my colleagues into a bloody pulp
2. Eat tasty noms for dinner (Slow cooked lamb chops, wahoo!)
3. Go to the pictures tonight to see The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo. Pray it's as good as the book....
4. Insure the Frugal Fresian Fiesta and book train ticket for Mr Fresian to go Up North to collect it. Pray nothing falls off the car on the way back....
5. Inventory freezer/cupboards and think about a trip to Morrisons at the weekend.
6. Do all competitions I have put off during the week and do more surveys and opinions on T0luna. Current points are 2740. Only 77260 to go for the next voucher :rotfl:
However, I need to go to work to survive it, so must run!

Wooo loving the bonus! I'm sad now as I've never worked in a job where you get bonuses. It must be so exciting!
I like the old hair colour by the way, def go for it. OR go for something totally different and difficult to do (like black with crazy purple highlights or something) while you've got the money for the hairdresser, and then go back to red when you are back to normal and can only afford to buy ordinary hair dye
