Slipping Through My Fingers

Beanie - it's hard for them these days isn't it. My friend's DD did a history degree and is now working in an opticians and loves it. But how random is that :rotfl: DD hasn't a clue what she wants to do. DS has had his career planned out since he was 4 - I'm not kidding.

HG - good morning I haven't spent my full quota of spends since I started my diary, how good am I :A:rotfl: I could just put it to one side and see where I am next week. Can't see any massive spending taking place but I suppose psychologically it would be better to put in the pots a little further down the line rather than having to take out any extras payments because I want something. Hope PA is kind to you. Give it a kick up the backside while you're there please.

I would pay it to the credit card

I forget about the CC Beanie once it's paid at the beginning of the month but that's another reason I'm on here, to try and clear it as quickly as possible. I like seeing my pots growing but I suppose once the CC has gone they'll grow even quicker.

You're the voice of reason yet again. Although I may just sneak a little into the theatre pot as well. x

Me, the voice of reason :rotfl:

I've seen a few 'voice of reason' comments on here from you. Take it and own it.

You're doing really well on the NSDs :T I wish I could do that well.

DC can take a long time to decide what they want to do with their lives, but they usually find their way in the end. I think going to uni is useful for learning life skills as well as academic skills.

Thanks HHD, the NSD's mount up because I rarely go out and don't particularly like shopping which obviously helps

Totally agree about the life skills although hubby said an outward bound course and a tin opener would have been a lot cheaper :rotfl: xx

Hubby has a point :rotfl:

Well done on the pots and budgets

I agree maybe start an overpayment pot and empty it over to the CC at the end of the month

Overpayment pot sounds like a good idea xx
