My diary - My ups and downs
Comments

Hello, sorry i have not been about for a while. I don't get much chance now i have started the new job, but i will do a catch up now.
Boss didn't pay me the holiday pay but after charging me £47 for a phone he gave me three yrs ago and deducting this from my wages without asking for the phone back. I told him i would send it back and i wanted a refund and i wanted paying for the extra 10 hours he owes me, 3 days later the money was in my bank - so that was good.
I still owe mum £300 for bailing me out god knows how i'll pay for that, my car has been over heating so i think it maybe the radiator or thermostat and i have no money to get it done or ne room on any credit cards and my fella ain't got the money so i don't know wot to do, i am using his car for work and he using mine but that cannot go on.
Work is going great, i love it - i am on the counter now, still training but i am doing most of it on my own.
Little girl hardly misses me, which i was worried about but thats good at least she is happy and having fun.
I have changed my signiture, i have also applied for a 0% credit card for the other half to put his debt onto (last yrs 0 % will run out soon) so thats him sorted.
I shall try catch up with everyones diaries x0 -
I dont know whether u have had a chance to look at Acas or contact them , they will help re holiday payand advise.,xx rip dad... we had our ups and downs but we’re always be family xx0

Hiya smarties!!!! glad you are loving your new job, makes the day easier i think...... looking at your sig you are doing well with bringing the debts down!!!!!!! well done!!!!
sorry to hear bout your car........i would get it checked out now as it may be something small but will then turn into something big if you leave it!!! (i have done this and it cost me a small fortune as several things ended up needing replacing..........) if the radiator is losing water, there is some liquid you can get in car shops that you pour in and will hopefully seal the crack/small hole.....maybe worth a shot (if its that)December 2018: £20,850.24. Now: £18,333.02 Total paid in 2019: £2517.22

Hello everyone and thank you all for asking how the job is going etc. RAGS cheers for the link, good luck at going back to work.
I am having to sell my Nintendo DS that i have only used once/twice and so far it is going for £75. I only listed it last night.
My other half worked last weekend and has given me the £150 he made because my 2 loans are going out this weekend and £50 worth of bank charges, as i am totally skint.
I am really down in the dumps at the mo about many things, including whether my relationship is near the point of breaking up.
Ne way shall soildier on!0
