Get the blooming ticket on ebay then hun & m,ake some £££'s.

I would Beanie but they are either not selling or selling for 99p (for 2). Its because she is still and 'underground' artist. Hence why I will try them on facebook before freecycle. My friend is getting back to me tomorrow if she can go, fingers crossed

Need to update my spends as I spent £6.61 while out. That was small packet of sweets, 2 female care (need to order my proper ones really), cupcake cases and a magazine. All food Mum payed for

More spends .... £16.99 oil for car (however this is much cheaper than the garage wanted to charge) and 85p on a skein of thread as my cross stitch went wrong.

Tomorrow its garage day for the car... More spends :mad:

So garage day, and £62 lighter, that did include a filter though as I purchased the wrong one I also spent £1.71 on dinner. Now bad news is the garge believe's that my cutch is on its way out :mad: No idea how much that will cost to replace. So I am hoping it will hold out until I am in my new job so I can use my last pay check of current job to get it done. We shall see

Going to have a NSD tomorrow but getting more shrimp on Sunday so no such luck. I also need to top back up my petrol as I am unsure how long they have ran my car in the garage so unsure about my milage now. If would be ok if my gauge works but it doesn't :rotfl:

I am going to aim for a NSW, Mon-Sun next week. Fingers crossed :T

Sorry more updates from me... Yawn :rotfl:

Off to see Charlene, so maybe that day won't be a nsd as I will prob get a drink. However budgets after the remaining bills look like... £64.25 left plus at least £50 from Mum. I know I will spend up to £20 the weekend with the shrimp and a pre ordered birthday gift so that leaves £44.25.

I will be hiding £40 of the money Mum gives me and then use £10 to buy my new work shoes. The £40 will be a 'spare' tank of fuel. I am hoping that in the next month or so I can stash approx £120 in my saves to use for spare fuel, three tanks. Once I have that stash any of my petrol money from work will be diverted back to savings. Its just me being paranoid but when I will be much more relient on my car/petrol I really don't want to have no cash or petrol. Was thinking of maybe getting a CC to use just for petrol and repay each month when works payment comes in but I know it will not work and I will be tempted to spend on it. Thsi way will :T

Sorry more rambles! They make sense in my head :rotfl:

The rambles as you call them do make sense

:j At least they make sense, thats one thing!

So I spent £30 the weekend Far too much but ended up buying spare airlines and more food for the shrimp which is cheaper than my local stores so worked out better in any case. Thats them fed for about 3-4months so I am happy with that. I also purchased a second hand duvet cover as a gift for £3.

So that leaves just over £30. Mum also now owes me an extra £22 so that will go into petrol stash unless anything major comes up.

I wanted this week to be a NSW but I will be renting a movie on Thursday. Its been recommended to me from my training at new job and fingers crossed it will be a £1 rent. I also need to find some secondhand/free books because this part of my training has totally shook my confidence. Not that I can't do the job but because its such a vast subject that I could be dealing with daily.

Other than that life is getting better, I am hopfully training my successor (in current job) in the then next two weeks which will take some pressure off me the final/handover week :T

Charlene was amazing, she didn't sing my favourite song but I can live with that. I would really like to see her again and she is in Bath in March. Now I may just book them on payday and see what happens and see if work can let me have that day off. I can but ask :T The only problem is you can't sell on the tickets so if I don't/can't go I will lose that money (£10 a ticket). I will see how I feel on the 15th

Now off too bed as I am already late going :rotfl:

:mad: RANT! On payday I contacted my insurers to pay the difference to change my policy. Paid using a debit card that I pay for everything. Now imagine my surprise when on the 21st I recieved a letter saying my card issuer wouldn't pay the money across, and my insurance (payed in full last year) will soon be canceled :eek: News to me the money is sitting there waiting to be taken.

So phone them up, give them the card number etc again. They believed it was because the way they process payments is through a different acgency and the bank refused to pay it. Anyways paid again using the same card. I then phone the bank and they believe its because they may have marked it as a credit card not debit card in which case the bank will not issue the payment.

Oh and while on the phone (to insurers) it was obvious the first person I called wasn't listening because he sent my updated documnets to my online valut which I told him I can't access and can't print out and I wanted them to be posted

But today the payment still hasn't gone out and the money hasn't been circled, as they show on your online banking :mad: So I guess the bank still hasn't given the insurer my money that I have told them to take. How hard is it really???

I will have to now phone the insurers to see if they have recieved the payment if not re-issue it again! I will wait until tomorrow though and if it hasn't gone I will get Mum to pay it on her card and repay her. But really how hard is it to type a card number into a screen and then a huge bank pay on my behalf?

So now not only do I owe someone money that I can't pay I am being threatened that my insurance will be cancelled and therfore will lose my new job... AAAHHHH

END RANT

Better news, NSW so far. At the gig last night the friend I took purchased me a drink (as I payed for the tickets) and I ended up driving us there. At the moment I really don't want to go out and rent that movie and as I am free next weekend I may do it then. So going well I do however need some more cordial, having the kids down has reduced my stash and I didn't know that I used the last of the bottle yesterday. So I may walk to the local shop to buy some :cool:

Also a lovely person gave me a free folder for work so I have one if I decide I need one. Then someone else very lovely too has found me some trousers to start off with in new job which I am ever so grateful for This means only my shoes to purchase which I will hunt for next weekend, otherwise I will be purchasing the ones on ebay.

Now off to research/stitch and walk the dog. Will keep you updated on the insurance tomorrow :mad:

Have a great Thursday :T

Hope that you get it all sorted out Pap.

The second payment was rejected too :mad: So I have payed using Mum's Loyds card (I am with Nwest) and fingers crossed the payment works this time. The poor man on the phone reassure me that they won't cancel the insurance because I am trying to pay but because they have changed merchants in which to take payments that is the problem. Stressful for me though :rotfl:

I will get Mum to chack he account Mon/Tues and if it haven't gone out I have no idea how i can pay it unless they will accept a cheque/postal order

Now off to current work :cool:
