It was a joke...

You will learn to walk away from the little traps Z sets SW:D:rotfl: Although he can gas- excuse the pun, in ref to the canaries!:rotfl:Blackadder: Am I jumping the gun, Baldrick, or are the words 'I have a cunning plan' marching with ill-deserved confidence in the direction of this conversation?

Well the title says it all really-
Paperwork and phone calls all day long:o As well as fitting in pupils in between, has been a total day for juggling in all honesty.
Anyway think i am on the home stretch now with it all and i did have a lengthy call with HR which has saved me a lot of form filling in - so one blessing in disguise there.:o
Onto budget-well not brilliant this month, i have totalled up the shopping and we are currently over that by £10.
I have paid a lot out in getting things fixed, Mot'd and taxed- so that has sorted out the little cushion of savings i had..:o But the positive is that i had the money to pay for it and it wasn't on credit.
HR- once again managed to keep me on the wrong tax code,despite form filling in two months ago( it is no longer my second job) so that has been chased up. I am also owed my pension contributions- so i have potentially got another saving pot and can't get my mits on it as HRMC have it:o:o:o b*stamps foot* churlishly..but at least it is there and i can't touch it..the saga does continue.
Other than that- Mr.B has managed to keep to his word- so the overdraft is once more coming down and he has avoided the patio for another month:D Saves the cement though;)
For SW- no i don't run the !!!!!! but the GG are nearly as bad :cool::rotfl:
Off to update totals and whatnot.

lots of positive stuff in there BOB0

It is getting there Taxi, i am on the home run with personal debt just need to get the joint stuff gone
It always seems to linger on though- so i need to make bigger cut backs, but i am damned if i know where.
The only thing i can cut is Sky which is £20 a month, i also thought of switching telephone as well- saving £10. But that is about it- given that petrol has gone up again.
The other bit of good news is that the washing machine has been written off and i am getting a new one. I was onto customer service yesterday and they should be ringing back today to give me a time line. I have sent off a letter stating i am not happy with the way things have laxed and resent the cost of the phone calls chasing up customer service. I would hope that they hurry up and get it sorted as i hate wasting good washing weather!Blackadder: Am I jumping the gun, Baldrick, or are the words 'I have a cunning plan' marching with ill-deserved confidence in the direction of this conversation?

good news on the washing machine and £30 is not a saving to be sniffed at as it soon mounts up.0
