The diary of an impulse buyer!!!

Hi guys! Well iv decided to start my own spending diary with inspiration from Lizzie!!!

I am a 22 yr old female student and work part time in a clothes shop! I am contracted to work 8 hours per week but am getting around 16 which is likely to increase over xmas!

I got myself in to debt at age 18 when i was working in a bank and since then i have been paying!!!

I must be honest i havnt paid much towards my debt for the last few months as i have only just started work but i shall work out my SOA and post it!!!

I really want this to work so am goin all guns blazin to being debt free before 25!!!

Today i will spend money on stamps and envelopes as im sending cca requests to all my creditors!!!
