oh apparently I did lol! Got an invite to another girls 21 as well end of the month.
So tired today! 16 days til payday. Sent away for background check n then I am good to go for the other jobWill just do Friday night and anytime Saturday. I do not do much at weekend and extra pennies will go to decking fund. Literally any penny helps. Once I think saved enough for holiday, will be shoving that extra money to decking fund also. Cannot wait til my fence gets done next month. 10 December and hopefully will not change the date again
!
I keep looking at my spreadsheet (cos I am cool like that obv...) seeing what I will be saving in new year and potential what can be at and happy. After decking will do separate xmas fund and drive way fund. Then my garden will be complete and wont be tight for xmas. Plus two big birthdays next year.

Woo sorted and gave my dad £25 amazon vouchers. Mainly so he can use for Black Friday.
Going to try and get at least £20 vouchers for Argos so I can use for my niece Xmas. Also hoping by then Black Friday will be on for that fitbit ace 2 (fingers crossed!) If not will try least get £30 then will be half price as can only use £30 per transaction gift cards.
