    taxi - it will be, I'm sure :)

    Okay, so this might seem mad, but every year I finished at uni, I'd buy myself a bag to congratulate myself on getting through the year :o I'm contemplating buying a bag this year as well, but know I shouldn't as I'm meant to be spending as little as possible. I'm having a mini war with myself about it! Sad... :o

    Only three more days to go. Try to take it easy this evening to help you get through the rest of the week when you are so tired.

    I would definitley buy myself a new bag after working as hard as you have you deserve it!

    jo - i like your thinking! I might pop into town on saturday and see if i like it :) I'm having a relaxing evening too, so all is good :)

    It's my 14th NSD of June today, so that's good - it's going up slowly. Just need to keep the momentum going for the next few weeks!

    Having a bit of a ponder this evening, about where I'd like to be by the time I'm 30-ish (which is really scary to think about!).

    I want to get in the habit, once I'm earning every month, of paying a set amount into my ISA, regardless of how small it is. I do have a SO set up at the moment of £50 which might have to be stopped over the summer if I can't manage to keep it going, and then once I get paid, then to sort out a bigger standing order to go in.

    I also want to get the emergnecy fund going, in case anything should happen to mine and/or BF's jobs, health, etc., so I've transferred a whole £3.50 into there to get it started. Nothing, I know, but I can't really afford anything right now. But, baby steps and all that.

    The money in the moving out fund has reached its limit, so I didn't reach my target, but still did pretty well I think. We still haven't found anywhere to live at the moment, and if I was still earning could put in that but as I'm not, I can't. But, the longer we take to find somewhere, the less we have to pay in terms of rent/bills before I get paid, so I guess that's the silver lining there!

    Of course, I still want to have fun along the way! :p

    Well, another long day! Did the Beatles this morning and world cup stuff this afternoon though, so it was good :) Gained another NSD too which is :j

    I'm not a massive football fan, but even I am willing England to win this match!

    Well, I'm glad we won :j :j

    Have been packing up my room as I'm leaving on Friday - I do not know how I'm going to manage to get all this stuff down three flights of stairs by myself and along to the car :( I'm hoping someone else in the flat is going to be in and I can ask them to help! It's going to take me ages otherwise...

    Have changed my sig so that it reflects what I'm now focusing on - pleased that I'm over half way on the deposit savings, but these won't change that much til later on in the year. But, as per usual, it's a start :)
