  • Hi guys and gals, Yes, had a good nigtht last night. Started to panic for a while as there was talk on a drinks kitty and they wanted everybody to put £20 in. I did take £50 but £45 of it was for show. Luckily one f the women said she didn't want to go in the kitty and she was the one that had given me a lift so we sort of went in rounds together and spent just over £15. :( to the speeding ticket, can't believe I've been caught I'm usually so carefull.

    Postman not been yet, he doesn't come to me until lunchtime so I'm hoping he's got of nice things for me today. I need something to cheer me up :)

  • Have got absolutely nothing to report on the money front today. Its been a NSD so far and have no intention of going out for the rest of the day so can't see me spending any money.

    Am supposed to be going out for a meal on Tuesday night but haven't got any money. Am hoping good old mum will come to the rescue!

  • Quite a productive day all round. Have had a loan of £50 off mum for meal tomorrow night, worked 2 hours overtime today and had a letter off Barclaycard stating that the reclaimed ppi comes to £136. Woulod like it to be much more but it's not :( Have got to telephone them now with my bank details but they are only open 9.00 - 5.00 so will have to do it tomorrow.

    Only got to get through tomorrow and then it's payday on Wednesday. Am being picked up for my meal tomorrow night so no taxi fares and no need to put extra petrol in the car to get me there. Just waiting for the refund on the pet insurance and the cheque from the Halifax.
    A good day all round :)

    The £136 from Barclays will make a good dent in your Studio balance x
