Scuba's Spending and Life in the South Diary

Car insurance auto renewal cancelled, and after a quick chat the offer of altering the details mean that apparently the insurance company cannot match the quote I got online....which is weird, as the quote I asked him to match is from the same company! So have bought it online, ready for the end of the week when it needs renewing.

Four mystery shops completed, and I need to write them up this evening. Drill bought, but apparently doesn't come with drill bits just screwdriver ones, so I need to go buy some bits tomorrow in the hope of getting the blummin bikes out of the car and in to the car port.

Also done my angel routine in taking a can of fuel to the idiot boy. Who managed to drive his car to the end of its petrol and ran out this evening at the end of our road. Me not tooo amused and not planning to rub it in too much honest!

So much for cutting down on the overtime...as well as covering Saturday I'm now doing next Tuesday evening too. Am currently looking for cheap flights out to Tenerife for me and the idiot boy, as if I don't have enough now I should do next payday, and as we'd be staying at a family apartment other than flights its just food and (very little) drink to pay for once we're there.

you sound like me! even when i have booked enough to meet my monthly MS target and think i will have a break i cant help checking alerts and booking jobs! just think it will all be worth it when you are lying by a pool in the sun and its raining here!

I wish it was just the ms stuff! I'm still doing a couple of jobs most mornings before work then going to work. I've had one day off in the last two weeks from the main job and spent that doing mystery shops and it looks like I'll not be having another for a couple of weeks thanks to the two shifts I've already volunteered for.

Well Mr S is not going to be impressed at the phone bill this month....45 mins on the phone to my old mobile phone provider trying to find out why my credit rating had been affected by late payments for a contract cancelled 3 months ago!
Plus a phone call to the credit card company nagging them about paper work.

Sigh time for walking to work now too. So much for going for a run this morning. I've chucked my trainers in to my work bag so might try running home again.

bit late now but if i have to call a premium no because of their fault i winge and ask them how much the call costs and point out its their fault i have called. BOS credited my account with £5 to cover the call!:D

I got them the call me back but the first 20 mins I was on hold, on and off which was an utter pain and felt like forever!

Work was as seems to be the norm now utterly boring, and tomorrow doesn't promise anything new or different.

Must remember to take my waterproof to work with me tomorrow! Got drenched on my way home as I'd only taken my light fleece top and it decided to pee it down just as we locked up. This mornings pile of post included my new insurance docs so just need to send back the proof of no claims - apparently they can't link my old and new policies because of the change of address and minor change to the policy of adding the idiot male confusing the computer system.

As its half way through the month I'm fairly happy with the money left in the bank, just need to transfer the money out of the ms account on to the credit card to pay for the recent spends but the website seems to have been under going maintainence for days now -or possibly just in the evenings when I've tried to log in but meh tis annoying me now.

Not much looking forward to the overtime tomorrow but I've agreed to do it and the money will be as always muchly useful.

I always think taking overtime is a smart thing to do. Cos you always kick yourself for not taking it when it dries up! And it never hurts to be seen as a willing worker, as long as they don't take the whatsit about it!

Nah they don't, but I have to be a touch cautious as I work in the shop but at the moment I'm being 'stolen' by the bar to work Saturday evenings most weeks which annoys the shop manager as occasionally they might need me at short notice (like last weekend).

This week though I'm doing Sat in the shop, but was asked to work in the bar mid week and I worry that not being able to do it means I'll stop being top of the list for bar/function run by the bar shifts when they come up.

Plus long term when I find another job I'd quite like to keep on the books where I am now as a casual worker so need to keep both managers sweet.
