    No other band as it stands. I'm concentrating on my grade exams for the moment. Have my grade 4 anytime in june/july so knuckling down and getting on with that at the mo.

    In other news today I sorted out the details of my new job. Hours will be 9-5 monday, tuesday and friday, which means that I can keep on doing 2 days (one paid for 4 hours :D) at my current bureau so a bit of extra cash, and also as a favour for them for all they've done for me as one day will be voluntary :D Really excited but also nervous too as it's my first proper debt caseworker job whereas before I was an assistant. Starting on May the 5th. Ooh so exciting! Just need to find the money to pay for the extra hours for nursery I'll be needing from now on.. curse paying nursery a month in advance! Will need to find somewhere between 300-500 by May 5th. Uuuuuuuuh....

    Well I'm not sure how much it's going to be exactly yet.... but from the look of my budgets it works out like this if I go back to scrimping and saving ala 'in debt mode' lol.

    £140.39 in the bank savings already (I was going to get some repair work on my car done *rolls eyes*
    £130 a week surplus from 'living money' (What was paying off credit cards etc previously) x 2 fridays.

    = £400.39 so HOPEFULLY that should cover it.

    If there's anything additional owed I'll have to come to some arrangement with them to pay it a week or so later, depending on the amount. I'll also have to hope that my car doesn't break anymore. lol Thankfully the repair I need doing on it is apparently harmless and worst that'll happen is my airbag light will come on... so they say. lol
