    HAPPY FRIDAY!!!!!!

    :j :beer: :T :A

    I look and feel like a zombie this morning, im sooooooo tired!! :rotfl: But i got into work early again, and have checked my ebay, paid my council tax, checked my bank account. ;)

    And yes, my wages are in there, thank God! So i now have money for the month. I did get the £200 rebate as well, which means that i have extra money for my loan payment on 4th June :D

    I have started the make £10 in June challenge and have added an ebay sale and some bingo winnings already.

    Im unsure whether to add the tax rebate as its already going on my loan payment which is a must, so i think i will leave it out for now.

    Fingers crossed today goes quickly as i am definitely looking forward to a lay-in tomorrow morning!:cool:

    Income Tax.... and me... arent seeing eye to eye today...:mad: :rolleyes:

    Im still trying to sort out my income tax from my last 2 jobs.

    The first job i was with from July 07-December 07 (i got made redundant). I didnt get my P45 until 3 months later! :rolleyes: But that about summed them up really, they were rubbish at paying me. Out of 6 pays, 1 was correct. The first one i got was too much and so it continued.

    Anyway, i got emergency taxed from the second job i had from January 08-March 08, and no one can find a record and all sorts.

    So i am having to write a letter to the tax office to explain with my P45 from first job and hope they sort it all out :rolleyes: What a palava.

    Fingers crossed im owed money, and its not me oweing them! :eek: :o

    Hope you manage to get it sorted Amy, and as you say with a bit of luck they'll owe you.

    Well done on the cheque. It's great when something unexpected turns up isn't it. I can't believe how much you've managed to pay off in such a short space of time.

    Hi Amy, just read through your diary and you look to be doing so well! I've just started looking at my debt and if I achieve anything near what you've done already I'll be pretty pleased with myself!

    Used to live in Medway so I know how expensive it is down there, especially the commute into London, nightmare!

    Anyways keep it up! :D

    I have been food shopping. I needed things like washing power etc. so i thought my total would be a lot, but it was still under budget. :T

    I have £20 left in my purse, and £10 left in my account. And im not going to do anything tonight, so may get a small takeaway as a treat.

    :hello:

    Firstly I cant believe its nearly Sunday evening already :rolleyes: and secondly i cant believe its June :eek: Where has the past few months gone?? Come on, own up.... who stole them?? :rotfl:

    Anyway, what a great way to start June, i have £8.00 left in my pocket from this weeks budget, and an extra £10 in my account! :j Im so chuffed with myself.

    Its my mums birthday on 14th June and she mentioned a Nintendo DS a while ago so me, my sister and brother are clubbing together and are getting her a DS with Brain Training and a word game, all for £40 each (not bad!). I have said that i think it would be best to get it but not send it to her as she lives in Ireland and the post system where she lives isnt fab, and she is coming over at the end of July so will be a lovely surprise for her.

    Im sending her a DVD i got her from play.com and a bar of chocolate to open :D

    I have 2 bids on things on ebay, which means i should make at least £10 from those :T
