    - however I have managed to find myself a temp job :j

    It's part time but decent hours, way more than the dole anyway, and should last until Christmas. Have now been out of work since April apart from 9 weeks work in June/July so really chuffed. It will mean we will be able to pay the mortgage for a bit longer anyway.

    May even have a few extra pennies to PAD as well :D

    I even start tomorrow.

    Well done, you!!! :j That's great news, hope it goes well :T
    I haven't managed to pad much this month as I don't know where all my spare cash has gone :( I did do a bit of christmas shopping in Westfield on Saturday, but I really don't know where it has gone. But, for the first time in a long time, I have said no to drinks after dinner and come home. I hate feeling like I'm missing out on the fun but I keep spending my mot fund and weekly budget fund, then having nothing left for the rest of the month! Although I'm a bit peeved at coming home alone and missing out, I'm a little bit pleased at the fact I haven't spent more than I budgeted! Maybe something might be clicking into place a little bit in my spendy brain.

    Yep it's hard to do, but it's those things that make all the difference. When we do have money spare to go out, we'll appreciate it all the more and will spend less as it won't take much to get drunk ha ha :p
    One step at a time ;)

    I know, I'm just terrible at saying 'no' and sticking to it... especially as if I do it too often, I get moaned at for seeing bf too much... I only see him more often so I don't spend money with my friends! :o Gah... bring on being debt free! :D

    £21.60 for me please :D

    I went to the bank yesterday to pay in some loose change and asked for a loan statement as I have made some additional payments. The girl at the counter looked at the screen and looked confused (I was panicking in case the payments hadn't arrived) and then said "Has it been small payments you've been making?" She thought something was wrong because of the tiny PAD payments :rotfl::rotfl:
