Celebrate the Small Things
Celebrate the Small Things is a weekly bloghop hosted by Viklit over at Scribblings of an Aspiring Author. The idea is to post anything you want to celebrate from the last week.
This week I'm celebrating:
- After being so worried about money last month, I needn’t have worried at all. Because I did much less hours than usual, I got taxed a lot less than I usually do, so my pay was actually still quite high. I should still have enough left over after expenses to move into my savings. This is a huge weight lifted from my mind.
- My meeting with my tutor went really well, he said my writing has improved a lot since I started the degree and that there’s not much else that needs doing to my dissertation, just minor edits. It's very nearly finished now, which is exciting and scary at the same time! I'm hoping to send it off to be bound at the beginning of next week, which means I'll be handing it in early, which is strange for me!

That's great news about your writing!
ReplyDeleteAnd it's that how taxes work? Minor pay raises sometimes suck because you move into a higher tax bracket and lose it all - and sometimes more. Glad that worked in reverse for you.
Great news about both your taxes and the meeting with your tutor!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on being able to hand it in early. That's awesome.

ReplyDeleteCongratulations on the writing, Laura. Money is always such a worry, glad you are better off than you feared this month. Enjoy your weekend.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on keeping a handle on the money thing. I still check my statement online every day - not that I'm a control freak or anything.
ReplyDeleteExcellent news on both counts. Isn't money just the most boring thing? Yet we all have to worry about it all the time.
ReplyDeleteReally wonderful news, Laura! Yay for saving, for the improvement in writing, and finishing up very soon with the dissertation :)
ReplyDeleteI am so glad your dissertation is almost done, WOOO! How exciting is that.
ReplyDeleteIt's always good to have extra cash to tuck into your savings. Congrats.
ReplyDeleteHow exciting that your dissertation is almost finished. Hurray! And nothing better than finding out you don't have money worries after all. That had to be a big relief and I hope you will have some left for savings.
ReplyDeleteHope you are enjoying your weekend. :)
Glad things worked out for your financially, and that things are nearly complete with your dissertation. How exciting! Writer’s Mark
ReplyDeleteGreat news about your dissertation. You'll feel chuffed I'm sure when you finally hand it in.
