I stayed in on my rest day and slept so not spending money even though payday - bill paying day tomorrow though

am thinking about not overpaying loan as if I am going to be made redundant I need a little savings and if worse case senario occurs I will contact Halifax and get loan repayments reduced. Lunchtime meeting has rattled me...

Determined - I hope it all works out for you - you've had a hard few months so probably don't need this stress as well? Good luck.xx

Today was awful at "school" - almost went home at lunchtime!
Only 5 more days to go - thinking only of the money now - I'm at my proper school that I'll work at from Sept for tomorrow and Friday doing induction things so looking forward to that.



Today's list...

• Took lunch to work
• Walked the dog twice for free exercise
• All food from stores
• Managed to get back from work with the little petrol left (light came on on the weay there) - only 2 miles to drive tomorrow so will be fine for that
• Check banks
• Do surveys
• Get admin stuff ready to take to new job tomorrow
• Babysit friend's baby tonight for a few hours - think the husband is in the dog house and is taking her out for a curry to crawl!
• Read library book
• Look over July's budget to see if I can tweak it at all

That's it for today - have a good football free evening!

Hellllllooooo everyone ah the bliss of Wednesday 8 more hours and then I'm on the homeward stretch!

Wow that is amazing, can I ask why you had a nat insurance rebate? As I am not sure if I need one, I know I need a tax rebate.
