Keep calm and carry on....

Thanks Jessy 😀 Hopefully 3 more of those to come (need to check the actual 10% figure with the bank tomorrow)

I've had confirmation that the money-transfer will be in my account on Monday. Generous EF/a return to overpaying reckless proportions of my monthly salary here I come 😀!

Jealous...

*mwahahahaha* 😂

Aahhhh, the weekend....two full days laden with possibility. What to do???

* Stroll along the seafront hand in hand with BF, nipping into a bar on the harbour for cocktails before going to a nice restaurant? Oh yeah, no 😡

* Have my hair cut, so I begin to resemble a woman again rather than a yeti? Oh yeah, no 😡

* Share a bottle of wine with BF in his garden, while he delivers me an impromptu quiz on music intros? Oh yeah, no 😡

Looks like I'll be staying at home then 😂!

Don't worry, I still have plans, they're just nowhere near as exciting:

* Do the washing

* Set up a direct debit to my S&S ISA 

* Chat with the bank to check my 10% OP allowance

* Shop & Scan 

* Cook dinner, using up risotto rice which went out of date in September 2014 😂 I'm guessing the shelf life on rice is PRETTY long, so it must be truly ancient! 

Er, yeah that would be all.... At least these plans are cheaper I guess 😦

Oh it’s not just me then whose other half likes to test their knowledge of music intros on!

South_coast

Nope 😀 And he always springs it on me after a couple of drinks when I'm relaxed and not expecting it 😂!

So Gary at the bank says my OP allowance is £2,801.75 - that little £1.75 will now be tagged onto next week's OP 😀! Also, if I were to make a £1k OP and trigger a recalculation, my monthly payments would go down to £138.46 - which is a hefty drop and interesting to know should the employment situation falter

Monthly payments of £138.46, that's the stuff of dreams right there!!

Funnily enough we're having mushroom risotto tonight as the kind Mr Amz has just delivered our food parcel today...

South_coast

Thanks both 😀 I'm delighted to confirm the risotto was good, just been trying to wrestle the extra portions into the freezer (as well as one in the fridge!). I have also completed the weekend's to-do list - what am I going to do tomorrow 😯???

BIG NEWS: Prolific and I are re-acquainted 😀! £5.65 of surveys completed so far today and I have FINALLY been able to cash out that £4.47 that's been teasing me for the last month!
