  • Thanks! well your a grand in front so I need to get the ol' brain cells in gear to raise some cash..the waitressing has dried up but i'm on the list for xmas which is a result, i've got some castings for some ads so fingers crossed one of those will come off.

    I'm gonna try and fix my mortgage, My TV subscription is up this month so thats an extra £9.99 also the new job is a town closer than the other one so I won't be using as much petrol.

    I only make me £405.50 ahead at this point, but I intend to make some extra dents in that over the summer. Good news about the car company, that could significantly alter things!

    I have had an offer accepted on a flat but it's a repo so I could be outbid at any point until it is completed. It needs a lot of work but the location is incredibly convenient.

    DD wants a new phone for her birthday, which I am inclined to buy her, she's been really good and it's not the most expensive one, plan is to take her with me to buy it so she can make sure it's suitable for what she wants and have her hand over the cash (which is coming from her grade money so she earned it). I hope to teach her Martins money mantras as we shop so that she avoids getting in the same state as me!

    As I move I am going to see what I can dispose of on ebay, there are things I have never used and this is the perfect opportunity to get rid of things just gathering dust and hopefully make a little cash to spend on the things I need.

    On my way to Glastonbury in just a few hours so better try to get back to sleep!

    Back, had a great time, however the security company I worked for refused to print me out a timesheet, so I believe that means that they are refusing to pay me properly (again). Feel a fool to have gone back with them after they played me about with it last year. I will have to wait to see.

    I have another payment off a loan, and will update the sig as soon as I get it all worked out.

    Hope you're enjoying Cornwall!

    Hope you're enjoying your holiday D.

    How annoying if they're mucking around paying you again. Not the sort of thing that you need! Hope you get it sorted soon and aren't melting in this weather!!
  • Hey hey i'm back! had a wicked time and feel so chilled....well until i got a letter from Paragon charging me £40 for 2 phonecalls i don't think they even made and to chase a debt that doesn't exist!! will be calling them monday to complain...they still haven't sent a response regarding the ombudsmans letter that was sent (about the charges) i hate that company sooooo much.

    I'm also ringing the tax man monday as he admitted they owe me some money :-)

    i've got a review of my DMP in September so i would really like to use that money to pay a lump off my debts to see if that will help keep my creditors sweet to keep freezing my interest, i'm doing so well at the moment but if they start the interest again i'm be up the creek without a paddle.

    not got the money to pay any more off the debts for a while but will be starting my July NSD challenge again and the money box worked really well for the holiday so i might start that again but make it more of a sealed pot
