How much can you save?

Lokolo

Lets start off with the bad news.
Last night I got extremely drunk and spent £40 on getting me and some ladies a little tipsy. :cool: That did wonders do my budget :rotfl:

Then this morning I had a telephone interview for my placement at the place I wanted to work for (1st choice). 11am. Oh dear. However I just got an email:

Hi Oliver,

Further to the interview you had with X, we would like to offer you the software developer role in our Y, congratulations. We would like you to start on 15th June 2009, please confirm you are happy with this start date and we will send you an offer letter.

Kind Regards,

So wooooooo :beer:

Yay congratulations Lok!

OK time for some honesty.

My spending diary isn't especially accurate at the moment, since I've made one or two omissions in order to make the total balance with my budget... I know, I know... it's bad. But it does make the budget working out next year a lot easier.

I've done pretty well recently, but with it being Christmas I've had quite a few expenses!

We sell programmes... hardly work

We stand there, reading the programme, chatting to our mates and football players :cool:

Also £7.50 an hour isn't too bad!

Some people like me would be more than happy to get £7.50 an hour.

How the hell did you only spend £40 to entertain yourself AND some ladies. Budget planning at its best...

Well done! I'm really pleased you got this! You deserved the budget busting drink + drunk ladies as a pre-celebration celebration! (I dont think im making any sense. but i've just had half a bottle of coffee flavoured baileys and it is gooooooood) (and MSE - from asda, where my brohter works, so 10% staff discount woo)

Savings down to 3.1% and ISA down to 4%. This sucks!

LucyTheDwarf

Don't cry - drink Baileys! I used to cry, but now I giggle!

Lokolo

It's Friday night, I am doing uni work :mad: but I want to finish it before xmas. Haven't got much time afterwards to do other assignment + revise eek.

Thanks Lucy... sounds like you're enjoying that baileys :cool:

My Egg ISA has gone down another %, and so has my savings with it.

Car Insurance renewal is getting cheaper every month woop. DirectLine gave me a quote which is even cheaper than my Churchill one which suprised me! Nevermind.

However I am going out a lot over the next few days so my budget is all over the place - nevermind

I wish I could be working. The exam coordintor !!!!! at work was supposed to order me stuff, so I could do some work over the christmas break - finish tuesday dont go back til 5th Jan woooo - but she didn't so i can't, lazy cow.

churchill were always really expensive for me.. i've alternated between diamond, admiral dna elephant for a few years now.
