  • Hi everyone
    Had not too bad a day(apart from the pain in the butt of a cough) - went to my Grannie's after work before the school pick up and got the added bonus of seeing my brother and niece :D she was on great form and full of smiles which was great to see - I got to give her a bottle and when my brother spoke she tried to do an exorcist type head turn and turn her head a full 180 :eek:

    Posted the last of my eBay items as well and contacted the buyer with the tracker number.

    Today's spends
    £1.40 - cold stuff (to help the cough and cold that's still doing my head in!)

  • Hi everyone
    2 Sleeps until the Big Budget starts!! :eek:
    An added extra NSD today which was good.
    Still got my cold and cough and think I am getting laryngitis as my voice has been getting worse as the day has gone on :( For those who know me - this is a very bad thing!! :(

    I received my payslip from work today and got the lovely surprise of some over time that I had forgotten about when I was acting as a senior member of staff, so an extra £76.41 in my pay come Friday :D - £76 will go into my House ISA and the 41p into my VSP.
    I will post a full run down of savings come Friday when everything goes into my account.

    Thanks Beanie
    Was struggling at work today - had to get one of the other girls to read a story and calling them all to come line up when coming in from the garden was a nightmare. It has gradually got worse as today has gone on :(

    Well you might need to take time off tomorrow.
    Be kind to yourself.
