    oh cool thanks smileyG!

    Feels like for the first time in ages things are finally going my way!

    Personally i think its all down to the board!! 3 months ago i couldn't see my way out of my debt i was losing my job at xmas and they cut my hourly rate because i was a temp and they had to save money

    and look at me now! i've had the same £2 coin in my purse for longer than ever before, I've been offered a new job in a market where i was being told i'd be lucky as i was up against 100's of jobless people i've paid £3k of my debt and i have so much support on here it makes all the difference i really really really for the first time in 8 years think i can be debt free this time next year

    thank you to each and every one of you! xxxx

  • :mad: Well had a bit of a wobble on Friday and over spent!

    I went shopping and i was going to aim to spend £15 but i bought some hair dye for me grey bits and some colour care shampoo and conditioner which added a blooming tenner - although on the up side i did come in this morning and cancel my hairdressing appointment on Saturday which would have cost me £40 so in theory i saved myself £30.... (positive spin where i can *LOL*

    Then i refused to go out Saturday and Sunday anywhere that would cost me money! *LOL* 2 of my friends came to me for a cup of tea on the sunday and i went to a friends for dinner on the saturday night so another 2 NSD for my total :rolleyes:

    Today i fear is a spend day - after paying £30 for my xmas party i was told it didn't include drinks and they are all cocktails at £7 a go!!:eek: so not sure of the plan of action today - my shinny £2 coin may have to go....or i'll be on tap water!

    Here's to another week gang! :beer:
