    Well I feel a bit odd now as I'm old enough to be your... erm ...older sister.:rotfl:

    So c'mon! How old did you think I was? :)

    Thanks Triker, don't worry about the hijack, lol.

    SS, I thought you were around mid 20s but didn't want to offend if I was wrong :rotfl:


    Back on topic, I spoke to work yesterday and I do owe them back for one day's wages and the remainder of the month will be sick pay at 16 hours at my normal rate.
    So I still don't really know what I'll be paid this month :confused:


    On the plus, I won £129 on a casino (risk free don't worry!) yesterday so I should be getting a cheque sometime next week. A nice £79 profit :D

    £79 is going as follows....

    £50.40 for the extra car insurance,
    £16 for my new door,
    £12 for a new light switch (how expensive are light switches :eek:)

    Also banked my 5ps today so that's £5 towards the car...

    £990 to go

    Well I've actually added to it with the new car so my sig is out of date really, but it should all be covered easily by my student grant in October.

    After that the plan is to save, save, save for me. And use my time to battle down mum and dad's debts.

    General savings really. I'd like to leave my job asap because it's making me ill and I don't think I can benefit from it any further without being used even more than I am now.

    Eventually a house deposit I guess :)
