    If my dad and brother do come down on Saturday means I can save the half tank of petrol that the round trip would have cost me...plus my brother said he would drive and park at the cinema so that would be money saved too!

    Roll on next week as plan to do a proper budget for April. All my bills would have gone up for then as well as my pension and tax credits stopping so will have a better understanding of where I am at money wise.

    I know that in the summer I will have my Car Insurance due so am toying with the idea of budgetting for that in advance or whether or not I should switch to installments once the bill comes though in August / Beginning of September. My MOT and Service will be due in July too. Not too sure regarding the service as hardly use the car at all (apart from going to training and about at the weekends) so mileage is very minimal. I had a full service done last summer so would only have a smaller one done if at all. Suppose I should do as is an old car, from 97.

    Am going to cancel my Washing Machine insurance as machine is 9 years old now and if anything happened and I had to buy a new one probably wouldn't be that much difference to a year or twos worth of payments. Silly of me to keep paying really. Plan to shop around for my Home Insurance and Pet Insurance when they are due too.

    This week should be a lot of NSDs. The weekend I will be helping at the Kids Kickboxing Grading so that takes up Sunday at least!

    Well was happily awaiting Payday until I just found out that work hasn't removed me from the frickin pension scheme after all that palavar...I am gonna complete the form again and physically find the woman responsible and hand it to her in person so that next month I don't get a repeat of the same...

    Cannot believe it, takes the mick it really does, I was so hoping for that extra cash to help now all the bills have increased in April and now my Tax Credits will stop in the next week or two.

    Hoping to pay a whack off of the HSBC card tomorrow. What I plan to do with the remainder is try and flog enough tat on ebay to pay it off before the end of April, that would mean that any extra cash could be used for the Barclaycard instead.

    Soooooo upset about the dam pension cack, they truly are useless :( xxx
