Wow, it's been so long since I've had even a decent commision because I've been scraping by and most of what little I was earning was going towards conference club. :thumbup:Well I forgot today was payday. I work at a bank and have my accounts here. I pulled up my accounts to make sure I was ok with my National Grid payment. Then I noticed my PC account had a higher balance than I was expecting!! Woo Hoo. And I just spent a half hour rolling change so I could have money for dinner and drinks with coworkers before we go see a play tonight!:):blushing::rolleyes: Oh well the change is better used for frivolous things and I'll put my commision towards something important. Now don't get me wrong it's not huge. It's only $70 but compared to my regular commisions as of late it's a lot to me!!:p
 
Whoohooo! Me too, it's been awhile since I had a payday over $100! :) But today mine went strait to cc bills! :(
 
I am with you on it going straight to bills but its one less stress on my mind
