    At the end of the day, PaP, it is probably a good thing - even IF the job had been made permanent, I don't think it would have been practical to move to London on a permanent basis.
    I will miss it, though. Most of the people that I worked with, were really great and appreciated the job I did. I, also, appreciated the independence that earning a wage, for the first time in years, can give.
    Still, I'm chasing a few opportunities.
    I am NOT, nor do I profess to be, a Qualified Debt Adviser. I have made MANY mistakes and have OFTEN been the unwitting victim of the the shamefull tactics of the Financial Industry.
    If any of my experiences, or the knowledge that I have gained from those experiences, can help anyone who finds themselves in similar circumstances, then my experiences have not been in vain.

    Hi PAP!

    Right well I just added up all my spends for the week *not* including essentials as the weekly shopping & bus fare to work and I spent £39.99!

    So I came in under budget somehow! :confused:

    I don't think I missed anything out - ahhhhhhh hang on, it's all coming back to me now, a friend had to cancel a night out we had planned so....that'll be it! :D

    So in which case....woohoooo! :j

    So for this coming week, excluding bus fare & weekly groceries, I am saying a budget of....£30 as we may tackle some decorating this weekend. That should cover the cost of some paint & sandpaper/bits & bobs. I am going out once this week but will be driving & won't buy rounds so....a couple of diet cokes will not be too expensive I hope.
    Bank Balance: In the black for the moment.

    Credit cards: AMEX Airmiles Card: direct debit set to clear balance monthly
