One load of washing done.... just waiting to be hung up. Must look at next week's finances as its the last week of the month for me and its usually when I come unstuck:o

Washing now hung up. 2nd load in.:)

Finances not look good

Over and above my normal spends :

Council Tax £127 ( should have been paid on the 1st but need to pay before the 15th otherwise I get the letter )

Telephone £113 ( might be able to wing it for another week;))

DS3 has 2 birthday parties to go to next week

I have just *cosmically ordered* £10k . I will let you know when it arrives;)

Just remembered something else I need to buy next week when I am skint. DS3 needs a new school jumper.... has to be the proper school one with badge etc .... £13.50:eek:. He will go back to school and the sun will be splitting the pavements until 23rd July and he won't wear it, just you wait and see;)

Hi Sweetie:hello:

The book buying is a good idea. DS3 always has lots of parties to go to ... ( they do seem to when they are in infants , improves a bit when they get older). I always forget to pay my council tax.

Good luck with the job. Is it an accounts Job ?

Yep it is, they want someone ACCA qualified and I am only starting (did get 4 units excempt) however I have qualifications from different country so I hope that plus my 20 year experience will help.
