Current account at £30 overdrawn this morning. I have £30 cheques that will clear tomorrow that will cover that, and any cash income from today, so it'll only be for a day, hopefully.

Bought pictionary last night for Christmas. Inspired by Sheldon and Penny.
Amazon is lovely!

And bought yet another pair of school trousers for daughter, delivery is £5 which strikes me as a little extortionate, but it would cost nearly that for a bus ticket to pick them up from store, an would have taken all day as the shop isn't a city centre one but a silly little one in an area the wrong side of the city. On the plus side, they have finally entered the 20th century and started doing online deliveries, so I can now order stuff without having to spend money on bus fare and all bloody day on the bus.

Bit by bit I am getting my financial house in order.
Finally bit the proverbial and insured the piano today.
£36 till April (£109 for full year but only insured till April as I'm adding it to an existing flute policy)
Insurance covers replacement as new ..... £30,000 :eek: I did not know these Steinway uprights went for THAT much now!!!

At least I know now that if one of my younger students leans on the music stand (which they often do before I can tell them not to), if it comes off I can get it repaired professionally

Yay!

Friend is tiling her bathroom instead, so no Aldi tonight probably Thursday now, although I think I'm coming down a cold I feel rubbish and can't go to bed till the bread is out of the bread maker ....

I think I get paid 3 days early this month. I'm not sure, and I'm not bothered enough to phone finance and ask them, but Payday is usually the 24th so I should be getting paid on the 21st
Tax credits should come through then too, so 21st is a bit of a big day for my bank accounts! :T

8 days till payday !!!!! (I think)

I did an Aldi shop tonight. My daughter tagged along so it was more expensive than I was hoping but not by that much. I wasn't too impressed with a lot of their stuff, to be honest; I'm such a fan of Tesco Value range that a large amount of groceries from Aldi were actually more expensive than what I usually pay (some ALOT more so.... )
But.... Their alcohol section is amazing and I'm planning on getting nicely hammered over the Christmas period
Bottle of martini £4.49
Bottle of vodka £8.99
Bottle of Bucks Fizz £1.99
Bottle of Chardonnay £2.99
12 pack of San Miguel £6.99

Happy bunny, me
