    I think it may be either the £50 car insurance reduction (although I didn't expect this to be deducted until next salary) or my expenses haven't been paid - or perhaps both:cool:

    If it's neither then I'm in serious doo-dah:eek:

    I receive my payslips electronically, however I'll check on Monday....won't let it spoil my last few days of holibolibobs:D

    Happy payday :T

    Happy cocktails :j

    Hope you don't get the nutter on the bus sitting next to you (unlikely - what's the odds of 2 nutters on the same bus :rotfl:)

    GG :)
    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort

    I only hope that I have a window seat, as I like to be the one licking the windows :D

    So annoying when salary comes in lower than expected - messes with the budget and spreadsheets.....

    Sounds like you have a wonderful day planned - enjoy!!!! Make sure the windows aren't too minging before you start licking them.... :)

    I had a lovely day with my friend yesterday, although went a bit over the budget on meal, wine and cocktails. All worth it though:T

    I had another lovely day today with another friend - although she also made lunch so only cost petrol and flowers.

    Tomorrow is another friend day planned, as yet we are undecided however I did let her know about CC so whatever we end up doing will be bargainbasementbudgetwhoopsieprice :D

    Having a late tea, as had a late lunch so best go and see if veggies are cooked....
