  • Well if you know what your income is gonna be then post a new one. See this site to work out your net pay. :)

    How many do you need to buy for for Xmas? Keep and eye out for vouchers/discount codes and freebies on the appropriate boards. You might be able to pick one or two bits up for cheap/nothing. :D

    SOBS, deperate measures and all that but if you have a cheque book and guarentee card you can always go to one of those Money Shops and cash £200 worth fo cheques for 30 days. It will cost you a good £20 in interest though. Or have you got anything to pawn???
