    :D People who have been reading this thread will know that I currently don't have a job, as I am going back to college In september, but have been looking for a p/t job so i don't eat into my savings too much! I have had real trouble finding one, but i have just got a interview in a local pub on saturday :D, so wish me luck! I might even able to add to my savings, which would be Brill!

    Crossing everything for you Driving_Soon! ;) Good luck.


    Just "paid myself" as payday was 3 days earlier as it's bank holiday. It includes o/t this month, which is nice and next months will as well. I've found that if I do it straight away I don't miss it, but my ISA benefits nicely. Just waiting for a paypal payment to jump into my account.

    I'm finding it quite slow going, but I think this is mainly due to the fact that my target is so big and my wages are so tiny. :rotfl:

    Hi All,

    Well, a reasonably good month this month. My savings now total 5,500 pounds. I did buy a super dress in the sales in Monsoon which impacted on my savings and I could have been up to 5,590 pounds this month but hey!!!! I know you are going to say, HOW MUCH!!!!!? - but hey, life is for living sometimes and buying a simply stunning dress has been my only vice after years and years of looking like cinderella so I deserve it! :rotfl: And I will reach my 100K target - watch this space.

    Way da go Money Angel.......:rotfl:

    Still waiting to hear if anyone has seen Dark Knight yet and more to the point, is it any good?

    I have seen Mama Mia two times and may go a third time. Sad me I know but it is such a feel good movie and Pierce Brosnan is still sooooooooo gorgeous even after all these years!!!!

    :A Money Angel
