Its the 10th of September :j :j :j more about that in a minute
Sarah ~ you know where we are if you need help. I think sometimes you need a break though as as you say coming home from work and then logging on and sorting money isnt very interesting. Take care hun and tackle it when you are ready.
Raph ~ recived pm, will pm you back later ~ off to work now :rolleyes: but I cant see problem.
Well its the 10th of September that means my locked account has matured :j Woo hoo, ok I only got £30 interest because I only had around £800 in there but hey at least I didnt spend that money :T So with everything together in my isa I now have £1,087.96:j now my challenge is to use as little of that as possible when I leave work ~ simple :rotfl:

So it looks as if everyone will be getting 'ASDA Smellies' from me this year - problem solved. :rotfl: :rotfl:
Even before my LBM I preferred getting consumable stuff as pressies. Whether edible (:beer: ) or smellies. I worked for 4 years in a private school and the knick knacks I received were very generous, but usually not to my taste and I'd get shot of them to the charity shop pretty swiftly. (would e-bay them now :whistle: )
So if I'm on your list Rog, smellies would be very acceptable, but Gin would be my number 10 -
Ok update :j not much going on really :rotfl: but anyways its payday monday and here is my 'kinda' soa... subject to any changes :rotfl:
Income ~ £650 (approx) after ni/tax/pension and taking off my work loan :j but dont know about this £60 tax thing
£175.00 ~ rent
£5.00 ~ internet
£12.00 ~ house ins (just had my renewal and its gone up £1 :mad:)
£50.00 ~ argos
£50.00 ~ argos (brother already paid me)
£26.00 ~ markers club
£36.00 ~ mum :cool:
Out ~ £353.00
The mum money is beacuse some ds games that I wanted (new releases) are in morrisons this week for £12 each (£35 elsewhere). Hence I now owe it
So that leaves around £300.00
£100.00 ~ holiday money
£200.00 ~ savings :j
Not too bad eh. :j0 -
