    :mad: As it's my last day I've had to buy cakes... they were £5.40 :mad:

    And I forgot my lunch so will need to buy something but that should only be 95p for half a sandwich - they're huge, a whole is just impossible to eat.

    Found out my boss hasn't given me a glowing reference :mad: am fuming and feeling very hurt!

    I have another debt!!! nPower were my energy supplier but I changed to EON as cheaper, but obviously as it was over the winter months and I hadn't paid enough I owe them £274.68 :eek:

    So I'm aiming to clear by end of June... wish me luck!!!

    Grrr on the New debt. They just seem to pop out of nowhere sometimes. Still - I think with your determination it'll be gone soon!

    Sold off a bunch of my penguins this week. Made £50 :) Yay!

    Don't be hurt Tigz! shouldn't they have bought you cakes anyway!

    My last boss refused point blank to give me a reference and its bugged me so much but my new boss knows how I work and over time I have had to let it go... Its annoying...Your boss is just getting back at you for daring to leave.:o

    Thanks Sammy, I did speak to him on the phone and he apologised, but there's a lot to it, I'm going to email him over the w/end and get it off my chest. :mad:

    OneDay - That's fab... it all helps. How much have you paid off now? I miss your diary...x

    Today DD had a party, present was bought a while ago and I've made the card. I need to do a small shop as we're out of juice and fab cond. I also need to buy ingredients to make the tiramisu but I'm going to take my small change down and cash it in and use that. Should be enough.

    I need to work out how I'm going to clear npower by end of June. The unneccessary challenge will help, I've been saving 50p's for DD, there's about £4 so far and 2 x £2 coins so that can be the start. I've just done the lotto24 on Quidco so thats £15 coming but obv won't be by end of June. There is £20 due to be paid soon tho. Also I'm owed 1 days pay from last work so that can go towards it. Oh... and (last one) my petrol costs won't be as high this month as new job closer to home. Will update daily with figures...

    Hope everyone has a good w/end x

    Couldn't cash in my pennies as the coinstars weren't working.... so I've counted it instead, I have £14 in 20p's and £5 in 10p's so that's £19 towards npower without even trying.

    Out for a meal tonight but aiming to keep it low. Should be a NSD 2moro, got stuff for lunches next wk. May need to get some more veg/fruit tho.

    We've been to DD's friend's 3rd birthday party this afty then we went back to their house afterwards which was lovely. DD really enjoyed the party, it's held at the local recreation centre, they have a bouncy castle and a tea party afterwards... I had said I wouldnt do that for her as couldn't justify the cost but seeing how much she loved it I am tempted....:o
