Well it looks like the FTSE is having a wee bump ... good timing for me as my money winged it's way to my account so have made a wee purchase, one that I was planning on making anyway, just now though I get it cheaper so i'm happy with that Have started implementing my wee plan of the keeping £100 by a month for times when market timing is appropriate

Have managed another wee bit off the mortgage ( only £10) but its more than I had planned, I am now at the waiting for pay day stage before I can do anything else with the finances.

So with that in mind it's back to studying for my exam's next week ... yikes

Boo - it's not bumping as much!

Do your investments settle straight away? Mine won't be locked in until tomorrow noon, so hopefully it doesn't make stellar gains overnight

Mine will do this time, they dont always it depends on what i'm doing this time it's shares so they will ... funds take a while longer next month its back to funds again ... i just occasionally fancy a wee punt on some shares to mix my portfolio a bit lol

Finally figured out ( i know i know i am slow on the uptake) take my ones and two pence pieces and use the self scanner at Asna , thankfully i had spoken a certain spicey lady before going ( thanks me dear) who advised me to take some £1 as well as the machine gets fed up with the dross and wants pounds ... so i did ... managed to get rid of most of the change i had taken with me and used the credit card for the rest, I had the coins hanging about for ages waiting to be bagged up but didnt have bags so this was a good compromise and my jar is slightly less full

If only I had taken my 5ps with me then I could have paid for my unplanned spend!

Just checked my credit card and it's YIKES time, have had the prime money refunded thankfully, but we are nearly at £500 for the bill so it's a given that it will take a few months to clear now, oh well it is what it is, but thats most deff a stern learning curve for us.

I should be looking to do some shifts and i keep getting texts asking me to do shifts, however with the exams next week i really cant be doing any shifts, i need to study, have done a bit today but have noticed that my weak point is sociology and if anything that should be my strong point, i've only studied it for years lol
