    The next couple of days will be tricky since I'm feeling the squeeze already. £28 left in the bank untill Weds next week, I'm sure there are no pending debits so that should be the figure I'm working with.

    Cat litter - £1.99
    2 x tins catfood - 0.98
    R-arrears payment - £6
    Bus fare to OH's place - £2.85
    Bus fare home from OH - £2.85
    3x tins of asda soup - £1.17
    1 loaf asda brown bread - 0.37
    = £16.21

    Hmmm, I might be able to go buy some supplies for ebay then. I'll wait untill thursday to figure it out (pet shop is closed on wednesdays).

    Anyhoo, enough gibbering, I've got studying to do. I got past the questionaire and now I'm studying for my training dates :) So I'll go and do that now.

    Not alot clicks/survey wise for me today. Picked up the food items I needed for the moggies and I at asda tonight after my sis treated me to a film at the cinema. Cat litter to buy today, pay RR's today, go buy some supplies then that's me sorted and set.

    I'm doing my text training on Friday at 4pm :o Eee nerves. There's no mystery shops in my area at the moment. I'm tying to look for thoose in my home town to save on busfare that I just don't have right now. Speaking of which, I noted down all the mystery shop sites I could and I need to apply to them before bed, so I'm away to do so.

  • I just got a call from the Job Centre, Argos have handed all their application forms over to them to deal with and I was asked if I could attend an interview on the 30th, I said yes. Yay..... maybe. I was asked if there were any days I couldn't work and I said no, then I was told that the job is only 17.5hrs a week temp untill January.

    I'm confused now. I won't be able to turn the job down if I get offered it, and I won't be entitled to any help paying rent and council tax. ACK! Suppose I'll just need to apply for another p/t job to top up my wages and see how it goes.

    Ok so that's my £6pw payment to rent arrears added, cat litter bought and money left over for busfare to go see OH this weekend. I've not drank a singe cup of tea all weak at home, because each time I boil the kettle I notice a drop in my payment meter of 10-20p, so I've been on the diluting juice all week.

    Folks asking for commissions haven't gotten back to me so I've held off from buying supplies because: If I buy the supplies, make things, put them on fee-bay then knowing my luck the folk who enquired about commissions will come back and say 'ooh I need this' then I'll need to go buy more supplies. And I dont have the cash for that. So Thursday next week will be when I go get more and I'l see what happens from there.

    Early bed tonight. That's all from me x

    Hello :)

    I've been MIA for a long time now *hangs head in shame* BUT I return with good news (took long enough). I've got a job! I'm now a Manager again and started my new job on Monday this week. So now that I'll have a reliable monthly income again my debts should be gone in no time at all and I'll be back to being thrifty and on the ball with my money saving!

    hope to catch up with you all soon!
