RYL Forums - The 'I need a distraction' thread.

Thats odd, I got my driving licence yesterday and then the letter explaining it came today. Maybe you should ring them because your licence has been issued so it should have arrived by now I would have thought :confused:

And how the bloody hell did you manage to get a 5 year one and I only get 1 year?! Pfft are they trying to say we don't really trust me in a car but we'll give you a shot!

I use primark for basic thing like vest and pj's, sometimes jeans, and underwear. But thats literally what I live in so all good! They have loads of HP tops in my local on atm.

I'm just cooking my tea, jacket spud which surprisingly I haven't had in a few days!!! And just a bit of tidying.

Hey Luna how's your day been?

I agree primarni is your friend. You just need to look hard and go early when it's not busy!

Yay for licenses coming through :) I really can't wait to learn to drive either!

I'm good thanks Luna!
Jasmine was very happy today!

Hmmm. I might have to contact them then Amy!
Yeah, I don't have a clue why they trusted me with a 5 year licence!! Lol! :p

I'll have to pop into Primark at some point and have a look round!

I always avoid the kids section because I could spend loads on clothes for Jasmine!!

Would be soooo great to drive!

But the mini clothes are so cute! But yes very dangerous as it all adds up.

Someone do my budgeting for me? I promised myself I'd do it if I got housing benefit which I have. And I need to start sticking to it once I've done it!

You should just take cash with you if you go in the kids section, or buy a gift card so you've only got a set amount with to spend.

You'll be able to learn once you get the card through, so not long to wait as they should sort it pronto! Just need to save them pennies!

I'm terrible with buying clothes that don't fit! Except I buy them too small. I'm trying to lose weight but it's tough! I buy smaller clothes thinking Yeah I'll fit in this next month! Lol!

A gift card sounds like a good idea to me.

Wish I could help you Lillie but I'm crap at budgeting too!

Good plan Amy!

Lillie try starting off with writing down what regular monthly incomings (benefits/wage? etc) and outgoings you have (utility bills/rent/phone contract etc). Those are the most important numbers. The next things for outgoings would be food, basis toiletries, and then transport. And then luxuries - so anything you don't really need, but want, or need to pay to go and do.

I think I've included everything on that, but can't be certain as head is a bit mushy. Google should have some budget templates if you search though to make sure you have everything included.

Don't pressure yourself to do it if you are too tired though.

Hey Bambi, how are you?
