    Evening all,

    Finally an update :D DH got a cheque for £50 last week for commission, due to the fact we've got nothing to live off until 18th when we get paid we're going to have to use it for food (it's due to clear tomo) I'm just going to pinch £10 out of it to put into my secret savings account :D

    Also, got some money on it's way into bank from DH expenses - £110, but again need some to live off.. worked out I am going to try and put away £65 of that as well (random amount I know!)

    Hurrah, off the mark with £75. Might pay it straight off holiday so I'm not tempted to spend it :o

    xx

    Yay, quite excited, I've won a prize from Doreen the Anchor Cow on Facebook :D

    I have lots of things pending and thank god to be honest, I've never spent so much money! My account is looking rather sorry for itself but it was all things I had to get so needs must.

    I might be without a 'wage' for the next few weeks as I asked that my foster daughter leaves me early; I've been severly let down from Social Services who have listened to her parents lies about me. They claimed that I have been neglecting her as she has not put on any weight in 2 weeks. She's now 14 weeks old, sleeps through the night and is very active through out the day, anyone with common sense would realise that she's using more calories and has stabilised(as babies do!)! I've seen many healthcare professionals in the last few weeks and not a single one is concerned about her, but regardless, a case of neglect has been opened against me as a request from the parents. I let my tongue get the better of me once I was told this and I reminded S.Services that if anyone should be investigated for neglect it should be her heroin addict mother who couldnt resist shooting up whilst pregnant...

    Rant over, sorry, I only have the cat to talk to! :D:D

    Well went to P!zza H^t with DS for drink and pudding - used mystery voucher for desert and made a complaint about them never having decaff coffee in. They gave me a pudding and found me some decaff and then gave me it all for free. So that was about £8.70 saved!!

    I took a £21 dress back for a refund yesterday as it was faulty, took £4 of stuff back to The Works, and £6 top back to Mr As as a way of trying to address my fritter spend. Not counting that as such for this but still pleased with myself.
