    Wouldn't you have to take out £300.12 to bring the savings balance down to a round number?

    Nope! Just tired and annoyed. Heating has been on all day and its not even warm! Urgh. Damn £'s going out the window for nothing!

    Doing uni work at the moment thats due in on Friday and really cannot be bothered. Going shopping in 5 minutes, already over budget.

    Funnily enough, I budgetted for £35 petrol this month, spent £115. My budget is somewhat not working. :rotfl:

    Oh yes and earlier I couldn't spell technology!
  • Haha, that sounds like a bad day to me! I'm supposed to be studying right now, but I too really can't be bothered.

    And I know how it feels to be cold - after the whole of last winter spent complaining to management that our office is freezing (and being told that it was a perfectly fine temperature to work in, that the heating is more than adequate etc) an engineer today looked at our heating system, and told us it had NEVER been switched on! We've been in this building over a year now, and for the first time today we could take our coats off!

    Go to Primark, buy a blanket - £1.50 and really warm :D

    My Interest will be mainly known for how much I will recieve as I have wholloped a chunk into kent reliance for 2 years after getting my Icesave money back from the FSCS. Just waiting for the ISA form now :) Thats going into natwest. Payday tomorrow so I will publishing my monthly update.

    My Cheque has been withdrawn from my account today :)

    Icesave defaulting cost me £300 but then again maybe not cos Im getting a 6% fix for 2 years and Interest rates are falling like a stone.
