I am glad the majority of my Christmas shopping is done now, I am going to mail out my Christmas packages today after I wrap them, and hopefully pick up a few of the final things I need to buy. So the final touches won't cost too much (under $75 including mail).
I talked to my boss at the rec centre I work at sometiems and she asked if I wanted to work over the Christmas holidays. I said yes, and now I will be working 8 days. It would be nice to have some time off during the break but I expect January to be another slow teaching month so it will help to get my 2010 goals started!
Ugh. Low pay days are AWFUL. H has been getting a couple of those himself, and it's always hard.
ReplyDeleteThankfully you can look forward to next pay day, with more hours! :)
eep. i hope you have some savings to keep you afloat to then.
ReplyDeleteHave you considered using your TFSA as your EF? That's what I'm doing as it'll be tax-free on the interest.
I can hold out until the next paycheque. I don't have anything due before then, just a few last Christmas items and gas, but I have enough saved up to last.
ReplyDeleteI have thought about using my TFSA as my EF, I'm still considering it. Although I wanted my TFSA to be a planned spending account (5 year plan, wedding, car, computer). It might be smarter to combine the two and then it would be tax-free, and hopefully the interest goes up on it soon too!
