    So far i think it was a genuine mistake and i may still have my job (but salary may fall?).  4 working days till payday. I'm seeing Andy this weekend. I think i can pay this month's credit card bill.  I reckon i will have £50 left in my account at the end of the month which will go towards the June credit card bill.

    Hoping it was a genuine mistake too...
    If you have built castles in the air, your work should not be lost; that is where they should be. Now put the foundations under them

    Yes that's one of the jobs i must do. Blood sugars have been a bit low so v tired tonight. I am seeing Andy tomorrow for a cheery day via the train and will try to do some marking on Sunday. I have spent £4 on a card and £5 on books this week. Payday in 3 working days I can pay May's credit card but am not sure how much i can pay of for Junes with all my travelling. I will make it happen.

    It's not forever, maybe reduce your savings a little for the next few months to free up a bit of money.

    It will be ok in the end and this is just temporary. Plans for today are: marking till 12, then mow grass and garden. If time a walk. Wash clothes.
