Don't worry, you're not as slow as me. Most of my deposits are under £1 :rotfl:

Welcome rylee12, you are #153.
Blimey, payday is closing in fast. Got some overtime tomorrow which is good as the cut-off for monthly hours is the 24th. We then get paid on the last Friday of the month.

Got car tax to pay this month. Residents permit is also due for where I park outside my in-laws when in Town, but as I don't go in every week, I won't renew it and instead will buy and use visitor permits instead as I get 24 hours parking for £1. So much cheaper than £79 for a yearly ticket.

I'm beginning to become MSE.

Another £10 today from standing order straight to EF every Friday.

I don't even really miss it.

I have £18.48 in my savings now. I have £20 left in my account but felt better having a little something in my savings.

Ooops, forgot I had a water bill to pay until the reminder popped through my letterbox yesterday. Paid it now.

Added £20 via the coin machine, but spent £19.99 on 'Roger Waters: The Wall Special Edition'. I had decided to purchase this after seeing the film in the cinema a month or so back.

Still, 4 hours overtime done today. Will try to get into the mindset of getting up to go to work for a & am start next weekwhich is hard to do when you suffer from mental health issues) as this will add yet more overtime before the cut-off on Tuesday.

This will be my last pay day before Christmas as they will not pay December's wages until the last Friday of the month, so these will have to cover Christmas presents and 1 Scout Leader meal (can walk to this one) and a bus into Town for the works Christmas meal (this is fully-funded by the boss, so we normally take advantage of the 'free' bar and always go for the expensive food options).
