    NSD 1 yesterday.

    Busy week this week, everything has fallen together, typically, and then I get to relax from next week for a month or so :D

    Pretty darn skint at the moment, even with just being paid, and I need to find about £1000 before Sept to start studying again! *sighs* need to look on the other threads with less friendly people on to see if anyone knows anything about Career Development Loans :o loath to do this but can't see any other way!

    Hi

    Can i be put down for 20 NSDs for July please ( sorry but my computer won't let me do larger or coloured words at the moment)
    I'm determined to spend as little as possible this month ( and put as much as poss in my ISA) now that we have been on holiday I need to get back on track (both money and foodwise)
    I hope everyone is feeling OK (even with this rotten weather) and has a good month

    JCG pants to the studying fees - know what that's like (need around £4k to finish mine:eek:). Good luck with finding something that works for you money wise - you might've seen this already but some info on here http://www.direct.gov.uk/en/educationandlearning/adultlearning/financialhelpforadultlearners/careerdevelopmentloans/index.htm

    I did look into them but can't afford to pay it back so ......

    Hi Spoony, doglets are getting better behaved now although Star still has a taste for anything wood, doors, cupboards, trolleys etc.:rotfl:
    Lucy has recovered well from her ops on her legs, she's not in so much pain now. :D

    NSD 1 for me yesterday, also for DD :T. I'm getting through to her.
    Had to get bread and eggs today from Mr M and that is all I got so a small spend of £3.58.

    A warm welcome to our newbies, you'll soon start using any excuse not to spend. :rotfl:

    Hugs to all.
