    Yay to good haircuts and social events! Hopefully the haircut will give you enough of a confidence boost that you'll have a great time and be the belle of the ball. I'm also really awkward with the chat when getting my hair done.

    Getting 2 out of 3 jobs sorted is great. You can do the studying another time, when you can really sit and concentrate. We all know you have the commitment, so no concern here. I also need to think about the studying I'm now going to do. I think it's time to get that started as it'll fit very well with my parallel plans!

    I hope all goes well on your travels.

  • Sadly there was no bath at the accommodation but please rest assured I have showered :rotfl:

    The social stuff wasn't terribly exciting and I excused myself to go to bed at a reasonable time both nights. Bit fed up at losing three evenings this week but will get some time in lieu back.

    Only spending has been petrol and a W/rose stock up tonight, so hopefully all still OK. I will review it all at the weekend... but it's only a week til payday anyhow.

    Off to catch up on everybody else's diaries now :)

  • YNAB catch-up done, all still OK - nearly at payday :) . This paycheque should be accurate so I will know how much is coming in every month, and I think it will be time for a new YNAB budget (the old one has been running for ages so there's a lot of transactions to scroll through when I'm looking for anything).

    Good point about the vision board Sam... I think it may be time to revisit things there too.

    Evening Rosa. Well done on updating YNAB. Roll on pay day, this seems to always be an expensive month - flipping bills expected and unexpected coming out of our ears this month, feel like I'm hemmoraging money ATM. Only three pay days until Xmas too :eek: (I don't count dec as an Xmas pay month, we don't get paid early except by a couple of days, which is fine by me but I do not do Xmas shopping on Xmas eve - except YS bargains of course ;) )

    Rosa, your post has really boosted me as I've gone into a financial slump and needed your inspiration to help pull me back up and face the music!

    I think hotel rooms without a bath should have a 50% discount! Although filling it with chocolate and immersing your whole body may be a tad extreme! :D

    Hopefully this will be you soon:6c8b22d3396144000369abdca7d87b96.jpg
