    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.

    Have a lovely day

    Finally Friday :D x

    You too lovely, Friday seemed like an age away :D x
  • 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.
