    Morning!

    It's PAYDAY!!!! :j :D

    I have my development review with my boss so hopefully today is my fist step to becoming a surveyor, so wish me luck.

    Had an £8 spend yesterday as I had to stop in the supermarket on the way home and as I need to get my car tax and insurance sorted today, my savings are going to have a little hit, but it will save me about £120 across the year so well worth it!

    I think that's about it for today, will let you all know how the meeting with my boss goes

    xx

    Right I have set up my new car insurance, so will get my car tax in the next few days when it has had a chance to show on the systems.

    I have also started the transfer of £50 off my cc, which is still at home, so I will take that off my sig once the payment clears.

    Morning.

    Right I am over the shock of yesterday.

    My Development meeting with my Boss went really well and he is going to have a think about how we can put something it place and I want to do some shadowing before I comitt to anything. Which he thought was a good idea.

    I am aiming to go to my Salsa class tonight, but they have put the price up :mad: So once the next big dance night is over (mum is coming and has never seen me dance so I currently need the practice!) I am going to stop going and save the money.

    But today I am concentrating on what I am eating so that I can try and stick to my diet as it has all gone horribly wrong!!!

    I'm just shocked it actually tracked!!

    I always convince myself I've done it wrong!! So cheaper car insurance and £75 is always welcome!

    Morning all.

    Well it's the tuesday after the bank holiday and I am feeling very smug! Total Bank holiday spend..... 20p :D

    Although I only left my house on Saturday (hence 20p in helping scrap together parking :o) But the weather has been so horrible I have been a slob for 2 days and hardly left home :rotfl:.

    Mum has put £10 of petrol in my car, so that's good (she borrowed it :rolleyes:) I nearly went shopping on Saturday :eek: but changed my mind and Mum and I went for a nice walk instead and got irritated with the National Trust who charge you £1 for parking and then keep asking for donations of a £1 :mad: And i even resisted the offer of an ice cream :cool:

    So all in all a good weekend.

    I hope everyone else had fun!
