Single and in Debt Part II

FeeFee

Hello Lovelies

Not been out enjoying myself unfortunately - got stuck at work again, trying so hard not to feel the pain of being there late when I need the overtime bucks but it's not easy- boohoo!! Would help if it was more evident in my bank account now rather than 6-8 weeks when someone finally decides to pay me for it :rolleyes:
Don't want to be a moaning myrtle but feeling pretty fed up as have been monitoring the budget soo closely but not closely enough... got a £57 'monthly' payment which I've now realised because I've started to pay attention is actually a 'four-weekly' payment going out before I get paid next week so I'm £2.70 short on my overdraft to cover it. And I thought I was doing so well too...:mad:
Going to have to scrape round the house for pennies tomorrow to avoid the hideous bank charges and the black mark that goes with it

Hey ho life's a cow sometimes.... On the plus side I have sold some carp on ebay so should hopefully see some extra pennies roll in and will try to list some more over the weekend...

Big Hi to all, you are all my therapeutic substitute for the usual desperate shoe shopping fiasco xx thanks xx:T

Hello All!

I'm starting to feel better! Have been completely depressed the past 3 days. I am starting to feel better though and am getting happier knowing that I will have £1k to chuck at my debts per month! Which is good since I have a ridiculous amount of debt.

It's starting to sink in that I won't end up destitute! Anway, I was offered another job this week also!

Buses, eh? Well, hopefully it will start happening with the men soon!

Anyway, I have a glass of white wine and some munchies, then will make a thai green chicken curry packed with chillies!!! What is everyone else up to?

xx

Hi everybody

Glad you're feeling better Pink. 1k a month to throw at debt is amazing! You'll be debt-free before you know it.

I started my spending diary today. Not a great day financially. Forgot sandwiches, so had to buy lunch and then went to Tesco's after work and spent 69 quid! Eeek. I got stuff that was on offer where I could. I guess at the end of the month I'll see where my money goes. I treated myself to a magazine. I buy a LOT of magazines. This one was a horse one though and the articles look good, so maybe my riding will improve without the need for private lessons and thereby save me money - hmm, flimsy justification.

My boss actually gave me some praise which is good, although I think he may be sh1tting himself because we're going to be very short people-wise from next month and a few weeks ago a woman called me up to see if I was interested in a job in Belgium and he might have overheard. I said I wasn't in a position to move to Belgium, but if they had anything in the UK come up in the future to forward it onto me... Its nothing that a promotion and decent pay rise wouldn't fix though - ha, ha!

Where are you going to Shoe Gal? I've seen loads of cheap little vest tops and shorts around, so I'm sure you can kit yourself out.

I'm on a date tomorrow. Hoping it goes ok, otherwise I have a friend on stand-by to create an emergency... I've also sent his picture and mobile phone number to a couple of friends should I never return. Hope everybody's having a good evening! Is Jonathan Ross on soon? I wish they'd just put Hugh Jackman on every week!
