    Ha ha very funny DD! :rolleyes:

    My tooth was aching last week so was ready to shell out £190 this week, but my sinuses are cancelling out the pain at the mo, so it'll stay in my purse (well on my credit card) a little longer :T

    Thos are my angel wings DD - not my hair :p :rotfl: Cheek!

    really?? Lol, all this time I've thought they were pig-tails (pig tails are the ones that come out of the side of the head and pony tails come out of the back of the head, right??)

    Correct DD! LOL, no my nickname is Angel so my avatar is always an angel. Might have to change it though as you're the fourth person who's said they thought they were pigtails! :rotfl:

    don't angels have white wings made out of feathers, not black ones made out of hair?

    Unless you're a dark angel of course.

    And don't their wings come out of their backs, not our of the side of their heads?

    Still to be confirmed SF - but looks likely! Should have meeting tomorrow or Thursday with both managers. No spare desks or computers in office so looks like there may need to be a bit of a change around.

    Another bit of good news - I can pay off one of my credit cards tomorrow! :j :j :j

    Just the one debt left then - currently at 0% but will need changing very soon! Aim to clear that by end of year (though was hoping for sooner!) Will have to phone round existing open cards to see if any of them will offer me 0% to balance transfer. Don't really want to apply for another card and have another search on my file!

    Right.

    Not paid off card as would have hoped. Some funds needed elsewhere as boyf's birthday next saturday and needed to pay some towards another card I'd forgotten I'd used! :rolleyes:

    Anyway, done my new budget and can put away at least £25 per week into savings or my cards, and have approx £200 left over per month which can go on unexpected things/pay off debts/into savings.

    HOWEVER! Things change - just been to a meeting. Have def got the new position in my current place of work and will therefore no longer be a temp - which means I will now get paid monthly! Ouch! This could hurt for a bit as my hours are down this week and now yesterdays payday and next weeks has to last me until end of June! :eek: Need to be ULTRA careful!

    Off to redo my budget!

    Tooth is holding out so no dentist bill yet and will be booking hair appointment for 2nd June so will have time to scrap some bits together. Boyfriend will fit fanbelt tomorrow and hopefully my clutch will hold out until he is able to do this on 3rd June.

    Don't know if it's been answered but, my cousin has got a BMW M3 sports car. Regassing cost £20.

    The clutch? Your waaay overestimating. But then, I visit local autopart shops who I know and have them fixed from small backstreet garages who i have a good relationship with and wont rip me off.

    Thanks, but I had it regassed before the winter. Supposedly it's the seals that need changing - possibly a leak. Need to get it checked out.

    The clutch - as above I haven't overestimated at all. The cheapest quote was £285. Parts alone will be IRO £100 (from the Motorfactor who discount everything for me) and boyf will fit FOC (if it holds out that long!)

    Thanks though.
