I got home last night to find a letter from the Halifax. My mortgage has now gone through completely, but unfortunately i owe them interest for this month. So that it a rather unexpected 200 pounds that i have to pay. As i have been not spending too much over the last month i do have that around and may just about be able to manage. Just. It is such a shame, as i spent all that time to keep my head above water. Still, i guess that if i hadn't done that i would have put money on my credit cards and i want to avoid that. So i begin again. My secret plan was that in 5 months i would have enough "spare" money in my current account, that if i had to have work done on my car it could be done through there. Sadly that has now been put back another month.

and i got home to find my PT session was cancelled...

On a good note though, just before i left work i found out the my clients were so pleased with work that i had done that they have asked my company to give me a bonus! I am unsure whether it is 500 pounds between myself and the other guy on my team, or 500 each, but what a surprise! And i haven't mentally spent it either!

I don't know when i will get that money, but it will certainly be a nice surprise.
