    Hello - I'm here!
    Posting after work as usual - Friday tomorrow and its PayDay then - hurrah!!
    Had my payslip today and I'll be paid my bonus, backpay and normal pay!:j:j If only every pay slip coudl look like that!

    It means that as of tomorrow morning I'll have paid of the decorating costs put on the CC in anticipation of the bonus, repaid my £100 OD racked up in the summer during the spilt from OH, put £2000 back into the savings account (not to be touched), put £100 into the living room redecoration fund and put aside £100 for a treat - all on top of my normal salary which will just go into the normal current account!!!!:j:T
    I think the treat will be a few new clothes - I am finally having a social life again now I'm a "single lady" and have started going out with friends and colleagues and need a few new tops for the autumn's social events!

    Finally life is good again:beer:

    Sounds fab, Welshy! :j :j :j

    So that's the big things, the little things to stay debt free ...
    • Had a free lunch for doing duty at school
    • Walked dog lots - lovely to see him running around in the park after al of the depressing rain (he gets quite fed up with being wet all of the time)
    • Tea from stores
    • Checked bank to work out where the lovely money is going
    • Phoned mum with free mins
    • Booked kennel cough jab for dog for tomorrow:( poor doggy
    • Finish shopping list for weekend
    • Make up spare bed
    • Do budget for salary for new month
    • Do a bit of work tonight - marking special needs group books - should be interesting!
    Right I'm off to skip into the kitchen in my good mood (amazing what a bit of dosh will do - the pressure is off!)

    Hi all!
    Yes Karb I saw your kick up the as5 and stepped to it! Work has blocked the forums so don't get chance to post anymore. I post on my phone but it's hard.
    Welsh I am in the same boat at the moment! I got a £2000 payrise last week and was skipping around 'spending' it' lol
    Right this is me:-
    - Checked banking
    - Paid £5 netball social meal
    - Worked extremely hard to earn above payrise
    - Start thinking about training plan for new staff member
    - Dinner from stores, bought lunch :-/
    - Work out budget for October paypacket
    - Night in tonight, just me and my baby :-)

    See, not a lot going on really here just plodding along, I am still here and reading but don't feel like I have much to update with :-/
