Hoping for a brighter future!

Game of thrones expo was amazing today! Totally worth it!

So, put money in the bank for my rent and braces... HOWEVER...

I owe the following bills : €491 on my credit card (horrible feeling about this)

€321 on my littlewoods account (OH has promised to pay this bill when he gets his first pay check

They are my two big outstanding bills...

Otherwise, things are good. spending time with the OH and chillaxing will be my main priority the next two weeks..

Little spends today were : €20.50 in new look on a new top for work and underwear (its amazing how much you actually need to buy undies)

£9.50 on lunch for me and OH in the mace deli that was beside the titanic quarter! We were going to go in but at £14.95 per ticket it was a serious rip off!

OH kindly bought me new sunglasses and himself a new bag for going to the middle east.. we have so much stuff to buy for him.. However from november on when I move I won't have to pay rent! Yays

Aw glad you enjoyed the expo!

Ouch to the 2 bills, but hopefully they'll be gone sooner rather than later.

Underwear I don't spend a lot. Asda or Tesco's for boring stuff for work. For the 'nicer' stuff I actually like Asda or Primark

We went to Titanic last summer with the girls. Was good but wouldn't be rushing back again. And yes it was costly to get in, never mind a cuppa too :eek:

Mmmm chillaxing I like!

doing well this week, cancelled the 02 account and my phone insurance! Nearly all banks have bank charges in Ireland, they took €23 out of my account and now i'm in the minus! Grrrr..

Getting paid on friday so I'll do a full count of everything then.. It's also the day my OH goes to saudi, he has most stuff all together for it now so I think we are all done.

Haven't managed to get any of them bills even touched.... Hopefully on friday I can throw so money at all of that..

Well, I've not really spent anymoney I wasn't suppose to.. I have €2 in the old purse to spend in work on tea etc.. so I should be good..


My OH has planned for us to go to Dubai in the end of September.. He said he's gonna treat me to flights etc but I want to make sure that I pay my way as well. I know he will be earning a good amount but I want to pay my fair share as well..

:mad: to the bank charges!

Payday for me on Friday too! :j

Fri will be a tough day for you I'm sure: will be thinking about you But Dubai???? I'm soooo jealous!!!

Hopefully away to dubai.. I may be in the middle east before hand as I've started to apply for lots of jobs...

Well I'm looking forward to friday and having some cash in my back pocket! I got €20 phone credit today and spent €2 on lunch.. Must find something in the fridge to eat for lunch tomorrow..

Spent a grand total of 5c on milk for tea today at work, chuffed with that!

Had a lovely walk there with the doggie.. going to have to plan out some day activities for her to do when my OH goes on friday, I hate leaving her in the house on her own when I go to work but it can't be helped..

Lunch is ready for work tomorrow so I shouldn't have to buy in anything until Friday!

So I managed to get paid today! Yays! Well, the majority of my money will sit in my bank account as I need €800 for the 18th for rent and teeth..

I've €500 currently sitting in my account.. Paid off €95 off that pesky credit card that I always seem to be relaying on..

I changed banks today! Thats a massive thing for me as I haven't since I was 15 but the €23 of charges was harsh and I believe they are adding another €5 per quarter charge as well from next quarter! So I was paying phone insurance for €15 a month but now, I'm paying €10 a month for my bank account which includes all charges and mobile insurance as well as cash back on any concert tickets etc that I may buy which is a huge advantage! I also plan to make full use of their travel insurance policy.. Apparantly paying for a higher account gives me a better mortgage rate if I ever need one, which is fine by me!

So I've decided to try and declutter a little bit, sell a few bits and bobs online again. Mainly as its handy for the extra cash but also it will keep me busy as the OH has gone today! (boo!)

However, its kinda mental as with him being gone, my bills are going to go down significantly I hope.. As well as that he isn't paying rent over there, his company is, so he can contribute a lot more to the rent as I've been covering for us for the last 6 months as he's been looking for work..

Off to my work do tonight, totally driving as I really wanna watch the purse strings the next few weeks..

So after my staff night out, I managed to spend the change in my purse plus €20 from the cash machine. Proud of myself that I didn't take out my debit card, I usually do that after a few drinks!

Planning on languishing on the couch in front of the telly today.. I know I should get up and be out and about but I think I'll keep that for tomoro..

On the household side, I definitely have enough food to keep me going the week. I'm going to try and keep my money in my purse as best as possible this week... I'm going to go visit my best friend who lives 4 hours away so I have to find the cash-ola for the bus now..

Craving pizza and an egg and onion sandwich at the same time.. Damn hangover :L

Happy July!!

Did you enjoy your work night out?? Hope so! Well done on keeping the debit card tucked away :T

Pizza and egg and onion sarnies?? Very random! Hope you're feeling back to 'norm' today

I really enjoyed my night out.. So much so that people were buying me drinks for a change and I decided to make full advantage!

Little spends to declare, €9 in lidl on random bits and bobs (mainly on egg and onion sandwich making materials! :rotfl:)

took €20 out today outta the cash machine, spend €6 on my polefit class.. I wanted to ensure I get out of the house every night twice a week since my OH is gone and exercising seemed like the best option :eek: I did really really enjoy my dancing/stripper/aerobics, I dunno how them lovely ladies get up on a pole every night, I'm wreaked

Mums calling around with a strimmer for me tomoro so I can cut my grass (saves me hiring one!) and also good news on the bus fare, my mum is actually driving past the two places I need to get buses from on Thurs and Sunday, saving me €40 and it means I'll have a little extra cash to spend.. Hurray for mums.. I dunno were I would be without mine..

Other than that, a very quiet week.. my little bank account is trickling down but I *think* I should be okay this month (fingers and toes crossed!)
