    Forgot to add, I need a new laptop. I stupidly left it on the floor and M sat on the screen and the screen connectors snapped. You can still use it... if you balance it carefully and prop it up. But if you move the screen goes black.

    It will of been 6 years old next month so it has lasted well!

    Not in a rush to get a new one as theres no point until after our holiday.

    I'm thinking about going back to college in August though so will need one for then!
  • Oh hope you hear soon about the job.

    Gahh about the laptop, that is annoying but just leave it till after you holiday to deal with that.

    This month is strange as we both got paid on the same day! D gets paid 4 weekly on a Thursday and I get paid on the last working day of the month, which this month happened to be the same day!

    We've paid off £605 onto our things in my sig!

    On top of that I've put £125 into my house deposit savings :)

    Fantastic news. Well done. The fact that you are still saving with all that's going on around you is v inspiring. Keep up the good work.

    Holiday on Sunday woo!

    Just need to get OH new shoes before we go as his trainers have huge holes at the bottom.

    I had to dip into our emergency savings as our microwave started smoking! Just bought the cheapest one in Argos for £35.
  • Eeeeeeeek for the holiday.

    Darn it for the trainers.

    Double darn it for the microwave!

    We managed to live without a microwave for about 18 months but bought one when we moved again in January, just to handy aren't they.

    Holiday update!

    So we went a little bit crazy at the mall, must of spent a few hundred easily. I panicked and thought I must of went over budget majorly. Today we are having a lazy day and we arent going anywhere we can spend money. Ive worked it out and we are in budget! We have 75 a day and we have 8.61 left of todays budget :j

    Thank god Ive been careful with money the rest of the time! Weve been cooking at the villa and bringing our own food most places! Not everywhere we can bring outside food sadly though.

    Holiday is great! I have burnt shoulders so sitting sulking in the shade as D and M play in the pool :)
