    Spends today £0.49 on a bottle of water for the gym (which i will reuse)
    £1.30 on freezer bags. My wee freezer is bursting.

    Maybe spending a penny less on water would sort the problem with the wee fridge

    Goodness, it's been ages since I posted!

    Moneywise things have not been great. I still have no Housing Benefit or deposit back and Scottish Power only sent me my cheque today :mad: New work place didn't have kettle or micro for the first week and I was working 12 - 14 hours a day so was forced to buy food and tea out. Also had quite a few takeaways as I was so exhausted and although the freezer is full I knew that defrosting stuff was silly as cooking it might be too knackering for me! Settling down now though and company and other managers have been amazing so really looking forward to next year.

    I have £46 to last til my £52 leccie cheque clears. Then it's payday on the 30th :jI have bought my return ticket to my parents for Xmas so thats done and am also hoping to get some deposit back on the 28th. I need to look at budgets going forward but have plenty of food in, a book of bus tickets (cheaper than a weekly pass for me) and will be fed by the folks from Xmas Eve til the 27th. All xmas shopping is also done, though I might get Dad another wee thing.

    So looking forward to seeing them and will head there after work is finished on Saturday. :xmastree:

    Work is busy and going well. Day off today so just watching a Carry On and heading off to the gym soon and to pay in my cheque. :j

    Will ponder my aims for next year whilst at the gym and then I think it's time for a new diary later....

    Hi Souk ... shame about the kettle and microwave lack, but glad you've fixed it - and I bet you enjoyed watching a Carry On film! Hope the runup to Christmas and Christmas itself goes really well.
