    I like your 'good things' list. Something I am stealing for myself :)
    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.

    Solicitor/survey savings 300/1700
    Emergency fund 0/1000
    Buffer fund 0/200

    Sorry to hear about DS at school. Is he bored? Or under a bad influence? If not then it must be the dreaded teen hormones :eek:

    No, the agency I am through at the moment pays weekly, so I put that in to the savings account. At the end of the month I pay myself what the previous company did and any extra goes into the other savings account. E.g old company paid £1234 pm, I accumulate £1543 at the end of the month with the agency, I would transfer £309 over.

    I think with DS it's his hormones that are playing up, he's certainly no joy to live with at the moment :(

    Steal away, I quite like it as it makes me think about what I could do to improve the following week.

    Afternoon,

    DH picked his new car up and is in love with it, although it has more buttons than the starship Enterprise he says :rotfl: I'm looking forward to seeing it tonight.

    Didn't bring my lunch in today...very naughty but I did try the Gregg's around the corner from site and it was yummy and hot and I thoroughly enjoyed it :D Do I feel guilty?...slightly but it is Friday.

    Food ordered from Morrison's, that will be delivered tomorrow lunchtime. Apart from a few bits, I think I have covered the rest of the month.

    Need to take DD to get her mug shot done for her passport, I can then fill the form out and order it ready for it to be handed in to the school in May.

    DS needs a hair cut too, so will also do that in the afternoon.

    Dinner tonight is beef casserole, we were going to have it earlier in the week but I wasn't organised enough. A lot of this week hasn't been that organised **rolls eyes**

    My lovely colleague gave me some more eggs this week, I think I may need to buy some cooking bits and make a cake or something for site, definitely not something for this weekend as I'm making soup :)

    I bought a pot of daffodils for my desk too this week £2 reduced in Asda, so a bit of Spring in the site office.

    Just had a look at my spreadsheet and updated it accordingly.

    Annoyingly, I haven't been doing any surveys this past couple of weeks and I am determined to sort it out.

    One PA survey done and a bonus payment of £4.50 received :D one survey done for OP too.

    Need to update my signature to reflect the new debt level, which I will do next.
