It's miserable outside today - hope you're all keeping out the rain!

Great news was had by this flying giraffe today- I passed my Cima exam which means pay rise!

Spent £3.19 on lunch in the canteen, so still in the green at the mo, but suspect drinks later will put me in the red....

Well done flyinggiraffe! :beer:

I'm having a few drinks tonight, but because it's been a horrible day... handed in my notice Tuesday and saw big boss today - wasn't exacly expecting them to be please or to get down on knees and beg me to stay... but didn't expect what was said to me.

Spent half the day crying after that, really upset me - they are almost pleased to see me go from what was said and I to be honest wish I'd been looking to leave sooner. All the way through I've always been loyal and now it's bit me in the a.... bum. Feel so unwanted and useless it's amazing.

Blown the budget.

I am going to join next week. Starting from Sunday. I pledge £20 + transport for work. Although my transport costs are over £30 a week, I'm going to try and reduce this by walking for an hour from work so it's off peak when I get on the train.

So £20. Shouldn't be too hard for the first week. I have a fully stocked kitchen and meals already made up in the freezer. I'm going to try and stick to a budget for the next 6 weeks during this work contract I have, as the canteen at this place is always tempting!

Been quite busy this week, so haven't been around to post much and what happens... now I only seem to have £25 left. I know I spent a fiver on Tuesday. Not sure where the other fiver went although as I type I think I put it in my sealed pot. so just £5 / £35 for me this week. Not including any potted money in my spends as it is saved not spent and hasnt gone on unnecessary spends. Going to go for £35 again next week.

Thanks for the thread.

Sorry about your work LC bet you are glad you are going now.
