Moooving on up!

Ouch to the car needing some treatment ........ but not too bad I guess!

I really must try to get a grip on S*bucks today!

Ohhhh and I found a brilliant wee to do list notebook on e*bay for a couple of £s so that should be on it's way!

I did download the app on my phone but am still much better (for some things) being a bit old fashioned and having paper as I'm not totally addicted to my phone and it doesn't go everywhere with me - maybe when I can upgrade it to a really fancy one I will be!

Oops, I've been a bit quiet again

Money is going ok but I am going to be a little overbudget this month - I have a dinner out on Saturday and will have to do a bit of budget balancing to cover it. I think that I will have money left over in my bills account this month though so that should cover it.

Current state of finances is:

Spending money - £26.46 :eek:

Bills - £443.97 (with around £350 of direct debits still to come out which will leave £93ish leftover to distribute for festive merriment )

Christmas fund - £57.27 (no Amazon vouchers left, but £10 on the way from SB and MySurvey) Most presents now bought, small balance on credit card which this account will cover at the end of the month.

Food money - £76.17 which is more than enough for the next ten days of the month. The budget will be reset at £190 again on the 1st of December and whatever is left over from this month will either pay for Christmas presents or treats.

I have had a minor spend on clothes this week, but I have an interview tomorrow and needed something a bit more formal than I used to wear to my last job. Again, savings will cover this and I think it's an investment (Hope so anyway!) Wish me luck, MSE

mmmmm well it's arrived & is fab :j but it cannot in any way, shape or form be described as wee (really should know by now to check & double check measurement sizes when buying online:o) and weighs 400g :eek: so too big to carry around in the handbag each day - will be my weekend to do list & confined to the house!:)

Aha! Found you!

Just a question though, why are you purely using savings? You should still be entitled to JSA and you are definitely looking for work. It's not as if you haven't paid into it for years.

Honestly, can't face the dole office. I've been there numerous times with Mr Moo when he's been on Jobseekers and they're *insert swearwords*

All things being equal I should be working in the next couple of weeks, so for the avoidance of hassle and the cleanliness of my soul I'd rather avoid.

Oh, and hi
