Hi Pap, nice to see you posting, I hope that you have a great year. Re knitting You Tube has great tutorials I would do that rather than pay for the magazine. Knitting is only ever two stitches so you can learn a lot from You Tube, I learned to crochet from the internet. PM me if you still need trousers I found the ones I couldn't find from last time!0

Thank you all :j
Toots, glad you are still around too! Many thanks for the youtube inspiration certainly enough on there to keep me going, no need for the magazine now. I will still get this weeks (prob) because it has a crochet hook which I may also learn, too expensive otherwise.
NSD's since last posting until today, the exception is car parking but as I get that back through work I don't count it as a spends.
Just sorted my budgets from now until June :T I have budgeted for no drop in monthly car insurance but I know that will reduce at renewal as its quoting half price now. I have also budgeted an extra loan payment in June but that will be payed to the CC instead. That in theory clears the CC but I may need to add more. I need approx £193 min each week, then I need to service the CC, mobile credit and parking on top.
This week looks like ~
£229.68 income/in account
£8.92 rac
£50 car ins
£60 bills
£40 rent
£30 petrol
£20 CC
= £208.92
My £5 play money will be a hair cut on Saturday, the remaining £15.76 will be used for passport pictures, parking (one day) and some lemonades.
Have a great remaining of the week and weekend all

:mad: I forgot that I hadn't given Mum her whole rent last week, so I need to give her £10. So I have decided not to pay the CC (it's not a min payment) and give her the whole £20. The reason being that she supported me yesterday with the snow (I still had to work/drive) and I have had the gas fire on for a few hours. The min payment is due on the 14th so plenty of time to pay that.
Weekend off, and I am not doing much. Planned a hike with the dog but I have just been out to the shop to top up the gas card and its too slippery so I am staying in.
Take care all!

Hair was cut on Saturday £5 :T However I have had to spend £1.30 on bus fare on Monday due to the snow. It means no parking but I won't get the bus fare back, I would have got the parking back. NSD on Tuesday and Wednesday except filling my car up.
Two days off now, planning to do my NVQ work and more knitting. Finally found a charity I want to send my makes too but going to knit quite a bit so save on postage costs. Thinking about documenting all my craft/charity things but unsure?
Friday is Mum's birthday, I have a small gift and had already decided to take her out for dinner £20 so fingers crossed that is covered in my wage :T
Take care all, especially those of you who still have snow
:cool2:0 -
Productive morning - dog walked, 3 fish tanks done, NVQ work done, secured extra hours for the weekend, checked my donor appointment and cleaned the bathroom. Just a few more jobs to do before I can get knitting :T
My wage slip has arrived, £189.xx recieved. So my budget looks something like...
In bank Fri - £334.26
£100 car ins (saves, out next week)
£120 bills (saves, out 15th)
£30.00 rent (gave £10 yesterday)
£30.00 petrol (maybe less as still just under a full tank)
£10.00 CC (saves, will add more min £25 and pay before due date)
£10.00 mobile credit
£4.26 coop saves
£304.26
= £30
So that covers the meal and it also has my £5 in it. The additional £5 will be spent on a fry/breeding net for the fish as we have 5 fryIt my brothers tank but as he now has another lady friend and car I am now left dealing with it all!
Anyways all good! Have a good weekend all!
