    Morning :)

    A little payment came through today which has been moved to the correct spot so I am still waiting for pay day tomorrow. Annoyingly I can't log into the credit card as they've changed their log in and are issuing everyone new credentials. I need my credit card which I don't physically have or they are to email people, which they haven't despite saying they would do en mass yesterday! So no payment can be made to that until I get sorted with log in.

    So yesterday was a long day with revising all day, horses in between and a workshop on video conference on the night. It finished at 8 instead of 9 so small mercies I guess.

    Today will be a study day all day bar a 45 minute meeting.

    With tomorrow's bonus I am going to treat myself to a hair cut as mine is so long, it's annoying and the car to a decent vale inside now winter is almost behind us. The rest will go to debt and budgets.

    So a quiet day on the money front, study hard and eat well. :) Take care.

    Morning diary land

    Study day went well yesterday but confirmed my fears of how little I know. I'm studying today too with a couple of meetings in between and yard before tea then will do another hour or two this evening. Same tomorrow then exam Friday.

    Bonus pay day today :D Small CC had minimum payment made and can't pay big one until I get my log in details on Monday as they are physically in my office (the info I need to request one is anyway).

    I'll wait for the remainder of the payments to come out and the account to settle down and I will see where I am. I have allocated 1100 to the CCV which will be 1300 including the normal payment plus on paper there is £90 ish unallocated but that is my pocket money! £20 of which is going to a much needed hair cut today.

    Right, study time.

    Mock exam done for this specific chapter, I know this one quite well so will do another mock exam (have a textbook and online one) then will start the next chapter.

    Also the jods I wanted to buy as a treat for myself are on sale for £15 with 15% off too - guess what - none in locally and won't post out. Typical.

    I'll make do and mend with my 2 pairs that have more patches than orignal material I think. When I am DF I will buy a pair for every day! Lol.

    OK Pink's fault lol....(thank you ;) ) I've paid £750 to the card after a friend passed my details on that were in my office. She's an 'out of work' friend so that's why I could ask her. There will be another £200 being paid tomorrow when that comes in from another account.

    Signature updated for today :)

    Thank you :)

    I've just cancelled the overdraft that I put in place temporarily. I didn't need to use it in the end but felt better knowing that it was there if I did however now the need has gone.

    Once the exam is out of the way I am going to start thinking about the easter break, now named the great big spring clean. Creative I know ;) Anyway I'll get a list going of all the things I want to get done including selling, cleaning, preparing, organising, cooking and baking plus the more important things such as going to the yard and spending time with the kids :D Plus at least one sleep in!

    Right, accounts and study time now. Out to lunch today and DD's school play later so losing the afternoon of study. I don't think it will make that much difference to be honest, it's a bl00dy hard subject and I don't think I know enough as it is. It is what it is though.
