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 nieceshe 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 onFor 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- £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.

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
