    You know jen, you read my mind. I am shocked to discover I pay over a fiver every month for the pleasure of using my current provider, so my task for today is to find a cheaper gas & electric person. Plus I want to look inot appliance timers, as I've discovered that I get a cheaper rate at night. I'm disturbed I did not know this about my own energy useage.
    This year I'm getting organised once and for all, and going to buy a house with my wonderful other half. And that' s final!

    Current Pay Off Target : £1500 :mad:

    I think I'm going to have to get my dad's energy prices capped, he's stretching himself enough as it is after my parents got divorced last year. I've done another pinecone survey this morning which is good, as I've said I'm stockpiling them as a surprise for my dad at christmas. I've had 5 surveys in 21 days now which is pretty good going, I've got £20 in vouchers for him now :D.
    Finally bought a home

    My sister joined at the same time as me and has only had one or two, I guess my demographic must be in demand.

    I've just applied for a receptionist job which I'd really like to get, I could imagine myself enjoying that kind of job...it's actually what my mum used to do before she had me. I think it would probably only be a stop gap until I figure out what I want to do but I don't think I'd hate it at least lol, the bonus is it's in the town where I live so I wouldn't have to pay loads or spend lots of time commuting.
