    Would have been a nsd yesterday but got tempted by fish supper on the way home:o need to buy eye make up remover today so won't be nsd either but maybe tomorrow...

    Getting close to actually having money again but also studying again so getting a bit nervous - excited too but nervous. Hope my brain still works as I couldn't even find my way round the till yesterday:(

    OK £150 OPed today, would have been a NSD if not for my need for a drink (diet fizzy not the hard stuff), dinner frozen leftovers but very yummy for minimal effort:D

    And today's cause for celebration is that I'm now closer to £40K than £50k:j:j:j only just but still...

    Good thing I ran as I have stuffed my face all day... and there was a fair bit of alcohol consumed too, very expensive but lovely day out with old friends, celeb chef spotted so he may even have made my lunch:rotfl::rotfl:

    It shall be a frugal week ahead now attempting to rebalance the budget:o uni options received and choices almost made but I felt it was perhaps wise to wait until completely sober before filling out form:rotfl::rotfl:

    Oooooh you're like me Skinty. I had a japanese meal out with friends last night. Cost me £23 but I've now looked at the freezer and I just need to get onions, bacon and some cheese and I'm set up for 7 main courses for the next week so that's good.

    In terms of options - 3 big questions (the same as for 16 year olds!);
    • what interests you?
    • what job do you want to do?
    • what are you good at?
    I chose Estate Management at age 21 with a specialism in planning, if I'd chosen housing as my specialism I could have been working in my ideal line of work for the past 23 years rather than the past 1! Really I chose on how good the planning lectures were which was a shame as the job was NOTHING like as interesting as the lectures!
