Hey honey,
I get what you mean in regards to JSA - I once gave up work cos my Dad died - This was oh a long time ago anyway I was unemployed for over 3 months & I did not get a penny off them cos I left my job & didnt get sacked!!!! Seriously annoyed me!
Oh well I havent been unemployed since thankfully but they are a total nightmare.
I also know what you mean about earning a good wage & totally feeling like your getting none of it at the end of the month I am the same & its just so disheartening but we are doin this for a great reason & it will be so worth it in the end!
I'm gonna go have a wee cornetto I think its a WW one only 4pps not too bad - I could not go a month without chocolate or I'd end up killing someone haha

Feel awful this evening, been feeling increasingly stuffy in the face this afternoon, had a nap when I got in and woke up feeling a million times worse. Someone replaced the inside of my head with cotton wool
and a headache.
Today's been quite productive:
Paid £125 back to OH
Paid £6.73 from current account to OD1 (to replace the money I swiftly transferred yesterday). While I was at it I also transferred 70p from my current account which made it a nice round number.
Transferred £55.80 out of my Paypal to OD1 (Left £7.00 in for ebay fees - I also realised that when I sold a pair of shoes all I got from it after fees was 19p pahaha)
Couple of spends too:
- £35.01 petrol
- £3.52 in Tesco (Milk & sugar for work, sandwich for lunch -reduced to £1.15!- and, ahem, a 120g bar of whole nut.. I had some big plan to eat 1/3 and save it for tomorrow lunch.. let's just say the plan failed)
I also spent £8.80 on postage out of the account that belongs to OD1, as that's where I've transferred the Paypal money that pays for it
Will update sig etc when bank accounts have caught up - can't check OD1 this evening as I've left the key thing at work.
Got loads I should be doing tonight around the house but I really cba. We were supposed to be going to Asda but it's totally not happening, so we've been naughty and ordered a pizza instead100% on the straight and narrow after this!!!
Hope everyone else is having a good daySeptember 2016 GC £21.37/£1200 -

Hope you feel better soon Scuff!
It annoys me the way ebay wait sooooo long to bill for fees, as though they think we are all stupid enough to have forgotten the item after a few weeks and not realise how expensive their fees areI have taken to paying them 'manually' before I withdraw paypal earning now so I can forget about it!
Sounds like a very productive day :T0 -
Hope you're feeling bit better- I've heard choccie helps!

Thanks guys, I'm writing the evening off and heading to bed with my book. Hopefully relaxing and an early night will mean a fresh feeling well again Scuff in the morning. Plus it gets this book off my list (it's a bit like pulling teeth and now I have 62 days to finish this one and read 30 others... hmmm haha)
