IA's Debt/Life/Little bit of Everything Diary...

  • When my eldest was 18months I managed to get an evening job as a BT operator - worked 5 evenings 6 -10pm, stayed for 7 years (having 2 more children during that time) and alterted shift patterns a couple of times finishing up doing 3 evenings 7pm - 2am. Money was great, colleagues were great, job was carp and hated every minute of it - lol!! You do end up feeling like you're doing 2 full time jobs though - housewife/mum in the day and operator in the evening! Lots of waffle there! Hope something comes up for you - maybe give your local supermarkets a call too sometimes they have jobs going - just think of the discount on your food shopping!!

    breakfast, school run, job 1, home for lunch, cook/clean/shop/banking/MSE, school run, shower, dinner, job 2, home at half past 10, go to bed, do it all again tomorrow.

    YOU CAN TELL I'M A WOMAN! :rotfl:

  • Morning everyone! Have woken up with the beginnings of a cold thanks to Ste...feel run down and tired but meh.. I'll be fine. lol
    Happy tax credits wednesday... just doing to budgets for the week and may go stick my head in the freezer again later and see what we can get away without buying. Ste's going to put the scottish power cheques in the bank today so they'll be clear in time for the car service a week on friday. Need to raise as much money for that as possible in case anything comes up so ideally need to only use tax credits this week and save my wages. We'll see what happens though.

    Once the scottish power cheques have cleared we'll have £154.97 saved... plus £27.60 from my wages on friday... then £240 from Ste's wages next weds and another £27.60 from my wages next friday so we should have £450.17 saved.. then another £120.80 cb a week on tuesday so we'll hopefully have enough for the car service, nursery deposit (£40) and car tax which is also due at the end of the month. Then whatevers left over will go into the paying off the car fund.

    Pigsback has gone a bit AWOL with me now having -3368 points instead of the 977 I had before.. lol. Something to do with the South west trains deal apparently hopefully they'll sort it soon. I was so close to another voucher!
