£25 last night in Homesense, but it was a voucher I got from an insurance incentive last year. I bought a big pot for a huge plant I have in my room, a tray for underneath the plant and some smelly sachets for the hallway cupboards (shoes and linen).
Not very frugal, but needed.
So far, I have about £2500 on the credit card and £4000 in savings. The savings are in a 5%interest account, the CC is on 0% till december. So I will do little payments every month from my salary and keep the savings where they are.
Today is admin day. It infuriates me no end when you close an account with, say, british gas, you're in credit, and then you have to call again to have the credit refunded. I have spent a lot of time on the phone this month!!! I am expecting about £150 refunded, water bill is still to be calculated etc.
Ah, and the joys of buying a newbuilt and dealing with 'the computer' : I am registered and have been billed for the council tax. To register to vote, however, the council (same one) can't find my address.
I think I'll get a good paycheque this month, I have done an awful lot of overtime.
Oh, we're getting a kitten soon!!! What do I need to have/know? All my furniture is brand new, I'm kissing that goodbye, aren't I? Do I cut it's claws like I do with the guinea pigs (half joking)? Do I need fleas thingy, or would it harm him being so small? I've always had dogs, so I don't know about cats! What do they eat, do I cook for him?
Is a moggie I think they're called, just an ordinary street cat type. It belongs to my DD but I'm expected to KNOW how to mother a kitten.
God, if you only knew me, you'd realise getting a cat is the supreme sacrifice I do for my DD. I'm the type that hoovers and dusts daily after a 10h shift, all my bedding is white and ironed and I spend half my income on bleach (again, only half joking). Oh well! It will make my DD happy and I'll have another responsability. On The plus side, I'll be halfway to single middle aged lady with cats scenario.
Might need some stamps today.
