Some decisions made

July 24th, 2006 at 11:09 am

After my holiday I will:

- focus more on my challenge
- look for another job
- add to my other savings account

I went to the doctors today and got my malaria tablets, I don't have to start taking them yet. They only cost a couple of pounds; I had my prepayment certificate to use for the other vaccinations which I'm getting next week.

June goals

June 2nd, 2006 at 08:29 am

Put more money towards challenge
Put money into ISA - this time I definetly will even if it's only £10
Pay rest of holiday (£106)

I will be into my overdraft again, I know I will. Maybe my aim for July should be to stay in the black? As long as there's overtime at work I should be fine.

I'm considering looking for a second job. I only work 15 hours per week. I might look into that soon, well after the holiday.

challenge

May 11th, 2006 at 03:14 am

I've decided to try and turn my £1 into £2000 by April 2007. Assuming I graduate in July I will have to pay £2000 Graduate Endowment. I've read up on it and I can either take out a loan or pay the amount in full. I'd rather pay the money in full than take out a loan especially since I've managed 4 years without taking out a loan. I told my mum that I'm going to try and save up for it and she thinks that I'm trying to save up for too much (I also want money saved for when I move out next year but my OH will help with that)

I'll need to do a lot of overtime and increase my contract hours after I'm back from my holiday in September.

one week till paybday

Thankfully, i'm totally skint as is completely obvious from my last couple of entries. I hate the week before payday, I always count down the days. In the future I will have to stop this just I feel like I have a lot of outgoings these days.

Stuck to today's goal, I didn't spend any more money.
