  • Hey well done Beanie :T :T
  • :T :T I got it, 2 hours less but I can still deal with that :T :T

    Got £60 from Mum today spent £20.76 on fuel which means a full tank and spent £11.77 on 'stuff'. My rent is going up this month so Mum is paying for my food again, as its only her and me here now its cheaper to have meals together. So my stuff was... £4.06 on baking stuff (should make me £10 on Sunday), £3.16 2 roll ons & 2 sprays, £3 on 3 yoyo's for the occ boxes, £1.25 on dog treats and £1 on sanitary care (I need to order my usual ones as these are making me ill again but its £3 postage :eek:) = £13.57 less discount/saves = £11.77 :j

    That leaves £27.40, I do owe work about £6 for food because I forgot my lunch in the week, twice! So lets say I have £20 until next Friday, I have bid on a jucier for £5 so that leave £15. Perfect to keep me going, I should also recieve £10 for making 24 cakes for Sunday. But I will keep you updated on that. I will then challenge myself to keep that £25 as long as possible excluding whats on my SOA :D

    I have £16.06 in my paypal account but I am going to use that for some occ box stuff and xmas/gifts stuff from a craft site online. We have no xmas decorations this year beacuse last year they were wrecked in the flood after moving so I am going to make as much as i can and have a homemade xmas this year :)

    Final good news, car tax is £10 cheaper than I have budgetted :j

    Have a good weekend all :)

    Well done on the job front. Is the job with the same company?
  • 28 hours a week, better days off, 9-5 days (except once a month) plus the chance to get a second job. £782 before tax, about £700 after tax/pension etc. I shall prob ask for a tax credits pack as the £50 will cover my petrol each month, if you don't ask you don't get ;) So that will leave me £300 excess each month once I get rid of Argos :T I am ok with that if I am honest, it will do at least I can excercise/get a second job and chill a little :D
