:rotfl: Aha! I had a scoot over, and I noticed you writing "putting him in his crate" - is that normal now, that you put a puppy in a carry box type thing for the night? I heard of it the other day, and it really surprised me ...

Its lovely to have a record like that of the day by dayness - I started a paper diary about my cats when I first got them, never kept it up, and I wish I had.

Hope it clears up, Pippi - it looked vile here first thing, but there's bits of the sky are powder blue right now

Powder blue is the colour of my nose...................!


Today hmm - I can do a pile of indoor stuff and I can do a few paid hours if I want to feel virtuous and keep the pennies chugging in


Oh how it feels so different to have guaranteed money and work you can get on with!

I'm so pleased for you about that! Makes all the difference ....

Money OK

Need to rejig the budget - although I'm thinking maybe I don't rejigg the budget and throw all the new money at the cards to get them paid off - I can't decide - I'm squeeking by at the moment - a few months more and a clear cc - might be nicer?

Can't decide

OK - PAD to lucifer - £200 (money from ex-oh, arrives irregularily but in this month, unexpected, so going straight to the card) that leaves £60 in that account with a £25 phone bill to come out in a few days. OK squeaky but OK

OK, the What-The-F*** agency appear to be working on weekly payments now - I can reallocate some of that - and the amount has been the same 2x now, so I'm thinking thats the rate - its lower than before I phoned - but no explaination why, the lady told me that was the new calculation and that she couldn't tell me anymore or why it was lower (I was blinded by the insight into that statement, 20 minutes after hanging on the phone).

At least I know. Means I can transfer money to CC and put money into rent account for end of the month.

Therefore - I've £350 in that account - I can put at least £150 to the captain card, £150 to the rent - I've hung off doing anything due to the !!!!!! thingmy not being clear.

Progress at least.

Budget will now have an extra £1000 a month in it.

That seems very unreal - but then again, its been a year since I had a 'proper' wage so I'm delighted to be able to pay off cc/penguin/tax office and put darwin back on the road.

Need to make you a special womble hat - full womble suit might get in the way of the gardening
