    Hi everyone :wave:

    Just updating and giving us a bit of a BUMP :D
  • oops, couple of things to add today

    spoke to boss about applying for a raise and bonus - meeting her in two weeks. Have to go through a big long process but I think I stand a reasonable chance. Could be worth about an extra £1000 this year and I should know about May time.

    Also, applied for the pre paid gold mastercard - need something for my internet food shop now I can use my credit card on the DAS :( This was the best one I could find so fingers crossed it works well!

    • looked for jobs and sent off apps
    • checked Onepoll, Pigsback, Toluna polls
    • still to do surveys in inbox
    • signed up for a Temp Agency last week. Done 1 shift at the rugby on Saturday and have signed up to work at the next 2 games as well :T
    • did a small shift for my casual summer employer
    • printed voucher for free Milkybar Giant Buttons from their Facebook game, but not yet redeemed

    Ah, now I can get on with some knitting :)

    Just had a really frustrating phonecall with a bl00dy call centre. Grrr. Really frustrates me how it can be so hit and miss with call centres - call one day and get told one thing, nothing happens, call back to get told another and by the time you're done you've told 3 different people the same story 3 times and get told 3 different things!! :mad::mad::mad:

  • Oooh what are you all doing at the bottom of the 2nd page...let's bump us back to the top:rotfl::rotfl:

    I didn't manage my NSD - I discovered our milk was out of date yesterday, so nipped to the co-op. Lots of bargains though - lots of half price stuff...and a little treat, a Closer mag sneaked in my basket..shhhhhhh:o

    But, my lovely friend sent me 'Room' to read - will add it to the pile of books I keep buying, arghhh, I'm addicted to Amazon;)

    So, HM curry tonight and the Brits on tv...sounds like a plan:T
    Have a lovely evening!


    Ohh thanks for this reminder, I did forget. :D hmmm a curry , nice, yum yum!!! enjoy!!!:D

    Well good news at last!
    My mum has given me a cheque for £1000 as an early payment on my inheritance from my gran - the rest will come when they sell her house. Wasn't expecting anything so its all a bonus!

    I have been very good and put it in the bank already - £770 to the untouchable savings to make that a total of £3000, £180 to the emergency accessible savings to make that £255 (aiming for £500) and £50 to me for a treat!

    That makes me feel a lot better about the cash situation - feel like I have a bit of a cushion again:).

    If I can get my act together and claim back my overpaid tax of £220 I'll be just under my target of £500 for emergency cash. And that's without anything I can save this month;)


    Also today....
    • Did a survey in the bakery and got a £1 voucher to spend there - got 3 gingerbread men:rotfl:
    • Been paid
    • Bought a few tops but have decided that at least 2 are going back - don't really like or need them
    • Mum bought me lunch at Las Iguanas - yummy!
    • Have decided to go back to Slimming World on Thursday
    • Checked freezer list and meal plan
    So all in all a good day!
  • Ah, now I can get on with some knitting :)

    Just had a really frustrating phonecall with a bl00dy call centre. Grrr. Really frustrates me how it can be so hit and miss with call centres - call one day and get told one thing, nothing happens, call back to get told another and by the time you're done you've told 3 different people the same story 3 times and get told 3 different things!! :mad::mad::mad:

    La.e nothing changes does it. The amount of times I had this happen with my phone company. Its just so mentally tiring, have to sound like a parrot:D repeating repeating repeating!!!! the same thing over and over again!!!!

    Have a nice lovely cuppa and enjoy the evening!!!!! Hows, that knitting coming along?:D
