Updates

This has been a good weekend. I earned £40 for teaching instead of £20 (double session) and another double session coming up this week.
I treated myself to a shabbat lunch (£20) and it was amazing. I did NOT have treatment instead of that I paid £20 for medication (they said its ok) so I saved £65 and the result is almost the same!!!! I won't have another treatment until the 25th of May so this will give me a month to recover financially.
Eating: I followed your advice and went on household things shopping. I bought a lot of pasta, some sauces, vegetables for really litte money and now it will last forever…. I am very satisfied with the value of what I got for my money. And, and , and… I am STILL within the budget, sooo unbelievable!!!

Yesterday I did budgeting with one of my friends and this gave me the opportunity to do my bdugeting too - I did the martins budget planner and I realised that once I pay off all my debt, I will have about £350 leftover money to save (or to spend) every month. Wow, now THAT’S something to look forward to! Wow, wow wow.

However, I need to start saving up for two new things. One thing is a student loan that so far my dad has been paying but now I will have to. That can be as little as £10 a month but then the interest will outdo the repayments and the loan will grow. If I want to reduce it substancially then I will need to pay at least £80 a month. I am confident that I can do it.

The second thing is a trip which will cost about £1000. Now for this, I am counting on a bonus in July (if no bonus, no trip). We will see. Right now I have time because the trip is in September.

I still have nothing to sell on ebay which is quite dissappointing. But teaching goes well (only until the beg of may when my pupil has her exam so no need for teaching anymore…. )
