The Road To 0 That I'm On

Im nearly at my first bank balance target (-£1250) thanks to Anglian Kitchens who are still paying me conseltation pay - but only for another 3 weeks.

Funny thing is - they are supposed to pay the average you have earned per week. Well i was there three weeks and i earned £160, however because i missed the first week payslot - that got put onto the second week and then second weeks got put onto the third week, totalling up to £160 but because this was all on one pay slip - it goes through the system as 1 weeks pay. So for my conseltation period pay i am TECHINCALLY supposed to get about £50 a week for four week (200 in total), but instead im getting £156 a week for four weeks (632 in total).

A Lot of difference huh? For doing no work what's so ever - so in the end being made redundant from my first job of the summer after three weeks seems a lot like winning.

Oh and i still get my £200 a week from Spar. So i'm a hundred of ROLLING IN IT.

All helps after a really bad finanical year.

I just need to stay off PLAY.com over the summer - which i haven't really been able to do as i've already preordered NOW 61 and WILL AND GRACE series 6. but they are my treats i'm saying.

Out of this money i need to buy a new PC (im going for Dell - but not laptop because Dell Laptops don't have a good rep), a new phone the 7260 - though this can wait until October maybe. And pay for my house over the summer. And little things i'm going to have to buy for the house - things like the ENTIRE linda barker range.

I'll start with paint first - Holly have u decided what your going to paint yet?

to my knowledge, dell laptops have a great rep. i guess you had a bad experience with them, and so i probably can't convince you they're good, but everyone i've seen with one has had no problems.
glad you are getting rich, wish i could say the same.... if you visit new york, i'll go up there too and we can hang out.

The laptop i had was a Toshiba. Toshiba laptop actually run in the family. Just that in UK at least - Dell laptops, from what i've heard at least, don't get good reviews or whatever, but the PC's are way better
