Go girl, you can do this.

Just dont cripple yourself with stress/overwork before you go.

What about things to sell which you wont need?

Unfortunately I think I sold everything I could when I was paying off my debt, hehe!! Didnt leave me with much :0)

I do have heaps of Nectar Points though that I would like to exchange for money - I wonder if people sell them on ebay like they do the Tesco Points...

Mum said she would sell the stuff I didnt want when I was away - got a bit upset as I thought she meant she would sell anything I left behind, hehe!!! xx

Aww bless, she would nt do that!

What are you planning to do with your job?

Could you get overtime or something before you go?

Maybe you could ask them for a relevant leaving present, something you'll need whilst your away?

Have to say am extremely jealous, would love to be in your position. Maybe one day!!

Going to hand my notice in - ive only been here since July, enjoying it, but its not the job of my dreams, and I am not worried about finding something when I return to UK. No overtime available with my job unfortunately..

Yes, a leaving present is an idea - depends how they take my leaving them though :0) Hopefully family will have the same idea, but not counting on it!!

Believe me, I have been waiting for this moment FOR AGES!!! This is what kept me going when I was in debt, so I am going to blinkin well enjoy it :0)

I am sure I'll manage!! I will get a 2nd job if I need to. xx

Yes - you can sell them on ebay - loads of people do, but why not use them for groceries and save the money you would have spent!

To the funkygibbons,
That is very good what sort of account do you save your money in?
When we have paid our debts off we wanted to save a big deposit to buy our own house what sort of account have you saved into i hope you don't mind me being cheeky.

At the moment I am saving it in an ING account - I should probably open a mini cash e-isa from April, as the interest definately mounts up!! However I need to be able to access it easily.
