If you want to quote up to three people in the same post then you click on the 'two blue speech bubbles' on the first two post and then the normal 'orange speech bubble' on the last one you want to quote. It should then bring up all three on one post for you.

Just catching up. Glad things are going well

Sounds like a lovely Mothers day. I need a suitcase too! Mine has gone to suitcase heaven.

I was very surprised to see the snow has stuck when I woke this morning!

Decision to sort voluntary work sounds good as does the decision to buy case for your hols.

I'd intended a trip to TC today but it wasn't to be....

Good to know that that air around the office politics is clearing.

Hope you find your new voluntary work interesting and rewarding.

I am hoping that things work out in the voluntary work land, it's something I have done before and enjoyed.

The weather for TC has not been good, it's to cold to venture out.

That sounds like a good price for Tripp suitcase and they last for ages. I've got one I bought years and years ago. Been to loads of places but doesn't get out much anymore.
Sounds like a good buy. I'm still waiting on first yougov money but shouldn't be too long. It's good that you bought something nice for yourself instead of Day-to-day spending. xxx

Hello Cumbria:)
So glad to see you are on the mend, you have had a rough time this year.

Good to know the suitcase comes with such high recommendation.

We are on the same page Cumbria. My work politics were awful but have got better thank goodness! And I was doing voluntary work for a similar length of time and I am saying no more too. Sometimes change is good:)
Have a lovely weekend

Thanks DIA , a change is good . Work is a bit stressful for some at the moment, hence the politics .

Redo Thank you so much, as you can see I may have the hang of it now.

WF , big surprise this morning to see the snow, but it's all gone here now, it's just cold. Thanks for dropping in.

Not been on for a few days , things have been a little up and down at the latter end of the week on the work front and rl . I avoid conflict at all costs , i don't do it well. When I flip I say things I shouldn't , this has not served me well this week. However things are in a neutral position so to speak.

I got paid on Friday , but haven't used any budget till tomorrow as don't want 5 weeks shopping in this month . I have a very busy month coming up , and I am looking forward to it but need to be conscious of budget.

24th March Birthday surprise
25th March day out with friend
Easter weekend . Away in lakes
4th April Eureka Halifax with DGS
7th April Mother's Day lunch cancelled from yesterday because of weather.
14th April Day out with group of friends .

Am going to sort out budget now .

System

Money news: I can't really sort out my budget correctly because I still have things that were allocated for last month but getting paid on the 16th isn't helpful.

The suitcase got paid for with you gov and PA earnings but PA hasn't arrived yet. Have eBay money ready to make small overpayment to card.

House insurance is due on 17th April and will be paying in one lump sum this time, so going to check that out tonight.

Food shopping has been really frugal this month , but have been eating lots of veg dishes and not much meat .

Made three bean curry again yesterday, enough for 3 meals costs about £1 to make . Having some fish tonight.

Not going to do transfers to different pots until tomorrow, when hopefully other transactions will have gone through.

I have bought my first Christmas present as well !!

System

Going back to the gym tomorrow, fingers crossed. Hoping to sign up for 2 week trial with personal trainer . It's £28 but I need some motivation, I can't afford to pay for more though. It's 4 1 hour sessions .

You've got a busy time coming up Cumbria, it sounds fun .

Work politics are horrible . I hope it gets sorted soon.

You're done well to buy a Christmas present already :T. My mum buys them throughout the year but sometimes she can't find them at Christmas :rotfl:.
