    So money divided...


    £80 towards the honeymoon, £45 in emergency savings, £185 towards wedding, £80 towards park tickets, £208.75 for credit card and £75 off the car debt.


    Total of £673.75 which is 6.6% off my total amount in my sig. Woo!


    Still have D's pay next week so it will be even more this pay period :)


    Also put £50 into the house savings account and £5 as I always do into M's bank account (Me and D do £5 each a month)

    Okay with 46 days until my holiday I have some goals:


    1. Try and lose even a couple of pounds before my holiday
    2. Buy new clothes for the holiday, I'm 3/4 sizes bigger than I was last time I was anywhere sunny! This dawned on me when I looked out my summer clothes today and realised they are all a size 10, safe to say one leg won't manage to get in them!
    3. With this new added expense, I really need to tighten up on the spending so I can afford some new clothes. From now until then, I'm giving us £150 to spend max on everything. This is not including bills or the MOT, but will include electric and food!
  • Get your bargain hunting shoes on lady!

    I was the same when I went on holiday in April.

    I need to find a permanent job. I'm on supply at work and I have been averaging 35/40 hours a week so its been fine. This week coming I only have 25 and that's only because someone is in hospital. It should of only been a measly 6. Need to try and find something soon!

    Theres a job advertised locally, its not exactly a dream job but its 40 hours permanent contract. 6am - 2pm 5 days a week. This would be perfect, it would mean I wouldn't need childcare most days with OH's current working hours. Any job I get I'm in it for the long haul. OH wants to either go to college or get an apprenticeship so I need to get a fulltime job so I can support him with that. When he's qualified and got a job, I'm going to go to university to do nursing.
    Applied and hopefully I get it!
  • Good luck with the job hunt.

    I am lucky to be in a permanent job I couldn't have the stress of not being in one.
