Another Debt Free Diary :)

Hi Elizabeth!!

Sorry you are feeling stressed - we all get days like that though. At least its Friday!!!!

With regards to the temping, I would be tempted to stay where you are. There are a lot of people out there who are all looking for jobs at the mo and I reckon that unless you have some highly sought after qualification or certificate then you may well struggle. I think that as long as you have a steady income, you can continue to budget, knowing what you have coming in each month (plus your extras!!) You could look for a new job before leaving your current one - nice to know you have somewhere to go!!!

Hope your day becomes less stressful and you have a great weekend!!

Nats :beer:

Yes - I think you're right about staying put! I've just spoken to my Team Leader about moving within the company, trying out a new team or something different! We'll see what comes of that! If I can just stick it out until the end of May then I'll be in a much better decision to make decisions! Think I will start looking at alternatives end of March just to see what's out there though!!

Got NEC Job 4 days holiday taken next week but will use the time to earn more money!! Works out well - I need a break and I get extra money!! Can't believe it's worked out!! This now means I can pay off my Vanquis this month as well... going to think of it as money to ome straight off the debt... but I'm also going to treat myself £35 on Girls Aloud tickets

Just shows when you get desperate just makes you more inventive about how to make money!! Going to keep trying to get temp jobs on the evenings

well done on finding another way of getting the money you're not making at the bar. Bet you'll have a great time there and meet loads of interesting folk.

ElizabethJH

Yes I'm looking forward to it

Made £55 on bar last night after taxi with £20 coming from tips ACE!!

Hi Elizabeth haven't caught up with you for ages hope everything is going well hun.

Lemon_Tree

that's quite a lot to make in a shift, no wonder you're eating into your debt so quickly

Hey Doodledo - it is going well, I was feeling like I wouldn't make my targets for a while but I think joining the make £10 a day thread really pushed me to get extra money from somewhere!! Hopefully with a bit of temping work here and there and the bar work I'll be able to make my end of May target!! Got about £3K on CC's which needs to be gone by then!!

Lemontree - I don't normally make that much but the bar was really busy for once!! Really has cheered me up!!

Right I've spent £4 on ingredients to make a valentines cake today, got a free bottle of pink sparkling wine from work for a compliment I received and some love hearts and that's the OH's Valentines present - better go make the cake now!!

So happy to hear you grabbed a good shift & the work at the NEC! I must check Gumtree more than once a week!

Hope your cake turned out lovely for V Day. x
