    Oh dear everyone sounds a bit down this week we all need to win the lottery...hmmmm perhaps if i bought a ticket it might help...!
    My Dad is a nightmare to buy for so he usually gets chocs. Last year i bought him a hair clipping kit and now any time he want a hair cut I do it for him, saves him a fiver every time . Of course this only works if your Dad has hair.....:-)

    apart from that really havent got a clue-sorry

    Right must go and deliver dads birthday present (thanks for reminding me-its tomorrow!!) and do the shopping,still a bit snotty today but feeling a bit better-how about you Jen?

    Afternoon everyone, try and stay positive lilmiss, at least you aren't in debt now.

    I got a student loan statement today, I owe £11,773, and with my new job paying less than a pound above minimum wage I feel like I have little hope of ever paying that off. On the flip side though, I did also get £8 in bonus money from jackpot joy, so fingers crossed I'm lucky when that is added to my account. Speaking of debt, you've done really well at clearing that car loan so far Yukki :).

    my student loan is over 15,00 and i have paid a grand totel of about 80 quid off woo. Apparently from september it will have no interest though which is good. I am not too worried about that one as it comes straight out so dont notice it much.

    Yeah, I was quite lucky in that I lived at home for two of the years so less debt. I know it's gone to 0% now, but in the last 6 months it managed to accumulate exactly £200 in interest, I just think it's scary the way it's going to keep building up when I'm highly unlikely to be able to pay it off.

    I was talking to the lady from the temp agency the other day about how I have no confidence, she said I should with my grades and all, but I don't so it feels like I'm going to be doing menial low paying admin forever. Sorry, I'm moaning now! I just know I'm wasting myself because I can't get a decent job with my confidence problem which upsets me sometimes.
