 Topic: ARGH! *tears hair out*
Posted: 29 February 2008 at 2:18pm |

The freaking nanny support agency just sent me a freaking bill for $955! Are you freaking kidding me?!?!? I know my nanny has been doing extra hours lately but hello, could they not have sent me a bill in November when the account started accumulating?
On top of that I have the last month of preschool fees at $590, childcare for these three hooligans has been costing me $1300 a month! Thankfully the $590 is the last preschool bill and school fees are way, way lower (like $500 a year *phew*) but I am feeling very poor atm! And I just went out and spent $200 on maternity clothes this morning BEFORE I got the damn bill.
Curses! By the time I pay all these freaking bills I will have made a SERIOUS (as in 2/3!) dent in my savings and I HATE having bugger all savings coz I worry about what will happen if something suddenly happens and I have no "rainy day" money.
I guess I really should get around to doing the $700 Southern Cross claim from last year and selling the accumulated baby crap in the spare room on TM and getting back the $200 my dad owes me for a ticket he got in my car.
Ugh!

Argh money. Such a pain...never enough of it. It just manages to disapper. I hate the fact that as soon as you do a budget and decide to stick to it, something unexpected and unavoidable comes up. There are always extras!!!

Don't worry I found out that WINZ hadn't been paying Andrew subsidy since November  . Yet I had put his form in.
Daycare have been really good and are going to get the money from them and then work out how much I owe them (shouldn't be as much as your thou)

Teehee, see in my case, the subsidy has lapsed coz I *didn't* do the forms. One rare occasion where WINZ are not in the wrong...
