    Sophiesmum, know what you mean about tsharp's post, they often make me laugh.

    Tallie, i have three jobs now, one is a small cleaning job, the other is a part time job in a nursery and the other, the one i did the training for today is for a big organisations that provide support and care for those with learning disabilities. Two weeks ago i started off with no jobs and now i have three!

    Hope you have a great time at nandos, you most definitely deserve it!x

    Thank you so much everyone, you've been great.

    I'm going to bed now but will be waking up with renewed gutso.

    I'll tell you tomorrows stuff when i get to work using tomorrows thread, but an update for today.

    I borrowed my dads car (which I had to put petrol in unfortunately) and found 6p in it which has gone in my found again piggy bank (read wee cardboard box/ new sealed pot) I had a quick count up of all that was already in there and there is over £4 of change. All of which i lifted from around my flat when I first joined this site.

    I shopped around most of the night for the cheapest car insurance. Get this, I'm amazed, I'll be paying around a third of what I paid last year thanks to my change in circumstances. I'll save nearly £60 a month!! I'm going to set up a DD for £50 into my savings every month with the theory that I should bearly notice it.

    I also spent my lunch hour on the phone to my insurance company (using the work phone with permission) to negotiate a refund for my overpayment last year. They have been very helpful and want this sorted out for me by the end of the week (I read that as the end of the month...)

    Plus my excess payment back by the end of August.

    If I'm not too stupid, I could be debt free by sometime in August or September.

    Is it wrong that the possibility of that actually scares me a little?

    Like I said, thanks everyone. I'm looking forward to waking up refreshed tomorrow now!
