    mbaz - I saw your other post, that is really unfair, I hope you get somewhere with Halifax and get through their arrogant way of communicating without doing yourself a damage.

    ...and good morning to all the rest of you too!

    Feeling too fed up to do anything, this all seems so hard today - I should feel great I've got my A&L down to below £3k through the payment a day (can't do it at the moment because I messed up the budget this month). And I just can't get the motivation to ebay and this is the only way of getting income to pay off the debts.....

    Come on guys, kick my butt please, you're all my virtual friends pull me back on track

    Piquant,you are doing really well,look how far you have come. We all have down days,thats only natural,but just remind your self how much you have got your debts down. you should be proud of yourself.

  • I'm saving money today by not driving the car to work, and by taking lunch. Also going to skive off teaching water polo tonight (they still think I'm on my holidays) so that's more petrol money saved and a £1 parking!

    Going to use the time constructively tonight, tidy my bedroom a bit (I've had my OH living with me at my parents for six weeks after he had surgery, he's finally gone home this week and the place is a mess!) and perhaps even sort out an annual budget type thing. A flexible one though, because we're moving in together in May. Just noting the biggies like car insurance and road tax so that I'm budgeting enough to pay for them!

    Got your card to under 3k in um not very long you need a party matey not to feel so glum!!!!!!!!! Well done you - you've put almost a grand to your debts!!! (*and you have a nice lovely saddle and bridle remember - come on matey - you are doing ACE) I will do a handstand in honour of you later - might do it in private as I am not as bendy as I use to be (I blame my middle age spready tummy). Go you, hope this cheers you up. This is what you have achieved since Aug 08.....

    Yes, we are all your virtual friends which is why we won't give you a kick up the butt....have a :grouphug: instead. We all have hard days and deserve a bit of tlc when we do!

  • Today I will;

    - Cycle to the jobcentre instead of getting the bus.
    - Eat before I go out so I'm not tempted by Subway.
    - Make at least 3 attempts to get application forms.
    - Remember to strip my bike before I leave it anywhere so I don't have to spend loads on replacing parts in order to get home!
    - have my 5th NSD in a row!

    My Mum wants me to get a job at Argos so she can get a discount on a new Dining table - Selling your firstborn into cheap labour for a discount - the ultimate in money saving madness??:rotfl:
