  • I've bought pizza from Mr S for dinner tonight. (start sarcasm) Because of course I don't see enough of the stuff at work. (end sarcasm) Speaking of, I doubt I'll be leaving that place before midnight for a very long time. The counselling course I signed up for is £695! :eek: They're letting me pay in 3 instalments but they want all of it by the time I start in Sept! :eek: So that's £231 out of this paycheck and £232 out of the 2 after. Plus normal things like rent and food. So it's going to be tight for a while. I might do something with my siggy again to help me keep track after payday next Fri, when I know the system for wages at my new work.

    Kayleigh, I thought of this the other day. Have you changed your car insurance? If you haven't and you have an accident while working your insurance maybe invalid :o

    Good luck with college, I am hoping to get back into college in September too :D

    ghost, talk to student welfare, there might be a Learners Support Fund which will pay the fees if you are on low income.
