Just an update to let you all know I’m off to York again tomorrow after work so there’ll be a lack of posts ’til monday night *collective sigh*
It’s Mother’s Day on sunday so I gave mum her presents tonight: 3 Clint Eastwood films (A Fistful of Dollars, For a Few Dollars More and The Good, The Bad & The Ugly) and Gladiator special editon 3 disc set. I got them in the HMV sales so it wasn’t too bad. Mum’s a big Clint fan – I previously got her the Dirty Harry boxset.
Got my bonus today – or rather the bonus I would have got was used to buy shares in the Bank on my behalf – I don’t know how many I got, about £545 worth. Annoyingly the Student Loan Company seem to think I got the money (It shows on my payslip and I got taxed on it) so they took another deduction towards my £3000 loan. I don’t have to pay it back until I earn more than £12k a year but everytime I do overtime/creep just over £1k a month they take another payment.
Falling and I have managed to save about £800 towards our holiday so far so I’m starting to get excited. We reckon we’ll need about £1200 to book the flights and hotel. We might do some more research this weekend though. We’re hoping to go to Nice in France – but let’s not count our chickens just yet…
I had to stop this post midway to type up a legal document for mum and pack my bag so it’s now almost half one in the morning, lol. I’m gonna call it a day as I need to leave the house earlier than usual to drop my bag off at the station and the students are getting up at 6am for a trip to the Highlands, lucky devils.
Later.

Wow, if you two do go on a fun holiday, be sure to post about it so I can be thoroughly jealous!
Yay for York!
