    Sounds like a good plan Pania, here's hoping it all comes together soon (along with a new job and the sun burn easing off!)

  • Good news on the car front. I hope sunburn is calmed down now, and that you are still looking for jobs..in order to get away from !!!!!! boss.

    Morning all!!!

    as the week leading up to friday 13th hadn't been going too well i decided to not post until it improved and TBH i didn't have time as work is so busy either!!! All stuff i can look back on and laugh about now but jeez i've been a grumpy so and so!!!!! everything (seems to be) coming together now though and i feel much more bouncy!! (heaven forbid those that may cross my path the next few days.. they'll think they've been tiggered!!!! he he!!!)


    so, to start at the start....

    1) work mobi charger left in northampton last week... didn't have money to go buy a new one... got bollarding of my life from boss and had to go buy another THE DAY BEFORE i went back to Northampton to collect.
    2) went to nothampton tuesday "Come up for the morning, you'll be gone by half twelve, book appointments in for the afternoon"... "Yay" thinks i. "I can do that and be back in time to walk the dog i'm looking after, neither work nor owner will be any the wiser..." left northampton at 3 got back home at 5... dog owners son was in... oops.
    3) sat on sofa during my lunch hour, work mobi took a nose dive off the sofa straight into a cup of tea..... remebering all too clearly the bollarding of 2 days previously off i fly to tesco.. new handset £40!!!!! only to get a text on personal mobi from said boss saying "don't worry about it for a few days, it'll dry out, just use your personal phone as it'll cost you too much to buy a replacement!!" !!!!!!!!!!!

    However... I have managed to burgle the box without breaking the seal, so as soon as mine has dried out i can return this for a full refund.. heheheheh.. needless to say though i am being veeeery careful with it!!!

    I also have soooo much work to do, which is nice in a way as i was soooo bored beforehand. this job seems to have the opportunities there, it's just converting them into business. my contacts seem to be building up so i'm hopeful that some business will pop out the other end as soon as possible.

    Anyway folks, I have bitten the bullet. DP is up for sale. I sat here last night and advertised him on 2 websites, complete with phot, sad, but it had to be done. now i've started the ball rolling i can accept it has to be done and just get one with it.

    on the money making front... well... all seems to be going good right now to be honest. Mum is putting some money in today for my petrol over the weekend. instantly i thought.. "Ooooh i have petrol, therefore maybe i can drink tomorrow instead." gave myself a slap, and am going to transfer half into the isa and half TOWARDS PETROL which it is clearly meant for!
    Car is being scrapped on weds giving me £220 towards next months car payment, but i am able to matched bet it in the meantime and do some of the £50 offers like VC bet etc. so hopefully £220 will grow into more than that! hopefully double!
    car tax rebate will net me about another £50, and quidco currently has £130 tracking due to be paid at the end of july... (but i do know somwtimes it has popped in earlier than that if it has been validated etc before hand.. plus i'll be doing my car insurance with Lloyds TSB who are currently offering £65 cashback... so all in all. nearly £600 that will be coming in over the next month that i can put towards the car even without taking my work expenses into account.
    I'm hoping that if i prove to myself that i don't need to rely each month on my expenses money by paying for the car then i can continue to use this money to batter down the debts. only time will tell on that one!!!

    right, well i hope that everyone is doing well and having a good day, i need to start work now...
