  • Next challenge: My car tax is due at the end of November, £80. As of now I have no way of paying this, so I have 73 days to 'find' the money, that's £1.10 per day. So I need to find a way to make that money, I have a. Pile for ebay so that is something and I will also round up any spends I make on my card and put that into savings. £1.10 sounds like nothing each day, but can it be done? I will let you know how I get on...

    :beer:

    Thanks Gem and SF, I am going to get my pennys up to £5 and then count that as some days ;)

    Wage slip is already here :j

    £11.88 - in bank
    232.44 - wages
    = 244.32 - total
    ~~
    40.00 rent
    40.00 petrol

    =164.32 - left

    Somone must have been shining on me today because even though I have been out 13hours my needle on my petrol has hardly move and I still have a 1/4 of a tank left :D Means I can take Mum someone tomorrow without worrying about petrol.

    So the left over will be split as £80 insurance and £80 bills. The reason being when lil bro came home he used my internet. I am now being charged extra because he has been using my internet with his 360. Its £5 per 10mb I think but have no idea how much it is until the bill comes in :eek: ** So my 'plan' is to keep that above and then I should have £50 between the next 2-3 weeks to cover the costs.

    Even shocking than that is he has gone back with her :o Now I have really really hoping I see the £200 plus that above otherwise I am totally in the thick of it.

    The only thing is I have had quite a few cancellations this week/end and one being 4hours. So right now my wage is down to 32hours this week. It will all be sorted... somehow :T

    Anyone seen Beanie?

    ** Just checked my useage on mt BT vault thing - :eek: 36.18Gb over up to now... @ £5 per 5GB = £35 :mad: :eek: :mad: If he doesn't cough that up from his first JCA payment I will go mad! Thats nearly as much as my monthly bill for everything including line rental.

    I have seen her light now Gem :j Was a bit worried. Yep I am more annoyed he hasn't responded to my txt's feel a bit used right now. Ahh well few days off now :D
  • :mad: Mum has asked for the missing rent from the other week to be payed asap. We have now gone onto key meters in the house and she needs it for that. I have given her some but need to give her £22.50 tomorrow.

    On a positive, I took a family friend ot today and although I didn't want to take it she gave me £5 for petrol. I spent £1 in the charity shop, a pencil case I saw last week, and £4 has been put into the car tax fund :j I also asked Mum for her coppers so that is nearly at £5 :D

    I have also 'purchased' some boots second hand, they are blue but will be better to wear when not driving as everything I has is leaking/has holes. They are £5 and will collect them tomorrow, I have taken this from the money I put asside for the credit card bill but I will replace it next Friday. Still in two mind about what I am going to do about my work shoes... I think I am going to wait until the wet weather really starts.

    Grocery shopping was done today instead of tomorrow (eggs, bread, juice, milk and reduced crisps) £5.90 so that will be taken from the floating £10 in my account. I don't think we need anything else but time will tell.

    Now off to sort out an ebay pile :cool:
