Flucking houses are such a pain sometimes.

Lordy where has the past month gone!:eek:

Quick update on whats been happening / about to happen:

- hugely overspent in May & June (no excuses - some pet issues and just loads of things happened / needed bought and couldnt be put off)

- car tax due £130 - i do have a car pot but its not recovered from buying the extra wheels / tyres (approx £550) yet! Will scrape it together from various bits & pieces (coin pots etc)

- car servide due :eek:- thankfully free (3 services incl when i bought the car) :money: cant believe ive had it a year - where did that go!

- job due to end mid-Aug so really need to try tô stick a bit aside the next couple of months

- applied for new c/card earlier this week - still hate doing stuff like that

Hoping it will help with budgeting (pet stuff has been getting mixed up with mine & as i have separate accounts for them its silly to not be able to split the costs properly). Intending to keep current one and use 1 for me stuff & 1 for pets.

Aside from that - really just trying to fine new job for Aug but not having much luck (they're either less money, part time or temporary)

Plodding ......... what are you all up to?

Good news ......

Popped into Mr A to return something and realised it was just before the Lotto closed - so bought a lucky dip (not had one for at least a couple of years .... gave up as never won even £10 )

Anyway ... got 3 numbers :T so that's £25 thank you very much :beer:

That can go towards my bike being fixed :T

It's looking like this will be around £60ish - a service is £25, it needs new tyres which will be around £35. I'm going to ask them to have a good look over it before they do anything and if it looks like anything major needs fixed that'll push it much over that then not to bother ..... it's a good bike so worth spending a bit on to get it going again - but at the same time I can buy a (not so good) new / 2nd hand one for not much more than that so ......

It's got a few specks of rust on which I'm not worried about but one of the wheel spokes is quite rusty that I am worried about .... fingers crossed it's OK - it's entirely my fault as it's been outside (didn't have anywhere secure to keep it indoors when the car went in the garage)

It goes in on Friday
