    hi k,

    i left a message in your diary earlier! Had a no spend day today so I'm pleased. Need petrol before payday and my daughters birthday present too!

    Gonna look at my mobile tariff tomorrow and got a final job interview too nearer to home which will save a lot on petrol. Gonna look for things to sell on ebay too. I saw how your day has been! Did you do your workout? Ihad a call from one of my charities who i volunteer for and they have got lots of bits and pieces coming up so that will keep occupied and no need to spend!

    Thanks for asking k

    Hi guys

    Just to let you know that I have been offered my new job today after 3 gruelling interviews over the past 2 months. The salary is £1k a year more but will save 60 miles travelling a day so a big saving on petrol.

    Thanks to everyone for all your support so far and I hope everyone is ok!!!!

    Tony

  • Hey Tony, I only joined in June and I've found all the people on this site really helpful. Nobody here is to blame for the predicament they are in. When I got married in my twenties I though it was forever but life is always full of suprises, unfortunately not all of them nice. Glad to hear about your new job looks like things are on the up already? Wish I could offer you more advice on the money side but there are links and people here much more expierienced than me to offer help.
