DS is enjoying school and looks so grown up in his uniform.
We've adapted to a new morning routine really well.
I've just checked my emails and I have an interview on Friday for the job I applied for in July :j
It's an extra 10 hours per week and would work alongside the job I already do, its for the same company. So I may not have as much free time as I thought! The extra money would definitely come in handy and would mean I would look at opening an S&S ISA. Trying not to get my hopes up too much though.

Yes when I ask him what he's done he says played with the cars, at least it means no homework yet!

Last week I came under budget by £18.20 and had £1 left from my mobile budget, so I've OP'd £19.20.
My weekly budget is definitely more achievable now that the holidays are over. Not only with DS off school, but with my different hours at work, my boyfriend and I were eating out much more.
I'm going to put more money aside next summer for entertainment.
I'm busy updating my SOA for October, just waiting to find out what my new bill will be for gas and elec as I've just switched tariff.

That is a good idea. A bit like saving up for a holiday.
Exactly maia, then I won't feel like I'm freaking out at the price of entrance fees to everywhere!

I've opened a Nationwide account so will hopefully receive £100 for switching.
Still waiting to find out the result of the clerical test assessment!

Now have an interview on the 2nd October. Still trying to keep my hopes down but it would be great if I got it.
NSD today, taking DS swimming tomorrow so will be spending then.
