Hey hun, I know it's hard, but by the sounds of things you don't owe this friend anything!! As I said, if she's a good mate she'll get over it, and will understand that you have to put paying your debts off before paying for a really expensive holiday. If she doesn't understand that, then she has some growing up to do.
Don't let it knock you off course - tomorrow is a new day and you're doing brilliantly - just stay focused on how great it will be when you've paid all your debts off!!0 -
Head out of sand, your absolutley right. I know I have done the right thing.
I am so looking forward to getting paid on Friday so I can make more payments on my debt.
This weekend I need to focus on listing everything on ebay. I have had no mystery shopping assignments yet this year, may need to join another company I think.
Thank you all for your replys, it means a lot to me to receive support. xx
I’m back and more determined than ever!!!!!0 -
Today I am meeting some friends for a drink, we were going for dinner but I convinced them it was a waste of money and we can all eat at home.
Other than a few diet cokes I will not be spending any more money today.

Very good!!
Me and my friend have swapped Costa hot chocolate and cake splurges for making them at my house, or going to Asda (89p + free refill!!) if I really need to get out of the house!!
Bring on Friday, enjoy making those payments!!!

£60 paid to Barclay Card and £80.00 paid to Lloyds TSB card. On the 2nd Feb £150 is paid off one of my loans.
That's £290 paid out of this months wages.
I would usally have a £267.00 loan re-payment but had to take a payemnt break to pay parents tax bill.
I have also moved another £25 into my isa account for presents etc and £100 into other account which I am going to try soooooo hard not to spend so can pay more off Barclay card.
I really need an Ebay night, got loads to list and have been getting lazy.

Hi all,
Having one of those days where I feel fed up for no reason, I really want to go clothes shopping tomorrow but as I do not have any spare money and I am not going to use my horriable credit card's I cant. Im trying not to buy anthing until my birthday in April. Hopefully I will get a little bit of birthday money to spend........... I hope I don't crack and go shopping.
Tonight my Sister, Nephew and I are going to watch lots of DVD's and eat lot's of bad food.
Hope you all have a good weekend

Hope you enjoyed your DVD & naughty food night!
