Hi everyone
Time for an update. I'm still not feeling great. It's mainly the cough that is keeping me awake so I don't get much sleep. I was supposed to go back to work today but called in sick. Bit of a shame really as I had managed to avoid going sick for 7 months which I think is a record for me.
I have received 1 letter from a creditor (DLC who bought my Cahoot loan) saying that my monthly payment plan is in place for the new amount. Not heard from anyone else but I think I have got all of their details so I can start making my payments anyway.
I have received a summons regarding my council tax. It has to be paid before 2nd July. Bit gutted as I thought they sent out a warning before the summons but I know it's my fault etc etc. I therefore need to get cracking on AQA to get £850 before the end of the month.
I'm going to cut out all mystery shopping this month and I'm also only doing a 'skeleton' Avon round (ie just my usual customers) so that it doesn't eat into my AQA time too much.
Also, I've got £110 coming out of my account on 1st July to catch up with the TV licence. However, after that I don't need to make another payment until September.
I have gathered together loads of stuff for my carboot which I want to do before 7th July so that I can get my jewellery back before another month's interest gets put on it. Although, if I have to I guess I will have to put that money towards the council tax.
Just waiting on a pizza from Dominos now. I think my sister took pity on me and gave me a tenner for a treat

How much do you need to do a day then Emily on aqa? Should we be giving you a gentle shove each day to check you're on track?
Hope that doesn't sound rude, its meant in a helpful motivating kinda way

Yes please
. Would love a gentle nudge (or massive kick) every day for motivation please.
I need to do 150 a day starting tomorrow. That works out as £855. It is do-able I think. I've stuck my summons up to remind me that I NEED to do it!!

(by the way, pizza wasn't that nice, why is it always the way that when you can get a free pizza and can not feel guilty, it's not the same!!).0 -

I try and think of it as just 15 lots of 10. I break them down into batches of 10 and then reward myself with a break or a drink etc when I've done 10, then get back to it.
I'm going to try and get some done tonight but still start my 150 from tomorrow and have the extra there as a back up in case I have a bad day.

:mad::mad::mad: My internet has been down all weekend :mad::mad::mad:
I am so annoyed. They are refunding me 3 day's use (was down for a lot of Friday too) but that doesn't help my AQAing. It has just come back up. I am going to AQA like mad for the rest of the evening.
I'm just going to have to do as much as I can, try to sneak some in at work and see how it goes. I can do it all day Wednesday. I think if I can get enough to pay my rent at least then it won't be too bad. I am definitely going to have to put the carboot money towards the council tax. I have got a lot of stuff for it and am hoping for around the £200 mark.
Wish me luck
