urg's 123 Back to Basics Debt Free Plan

Swinstie73

Hi urg,

We are no longer twins! Your debts are way lower than mines now, after this month's payment I will be around £9.5K, you're under £9K - wtg Urg!

Brilliant news on the wedding venue, do what you want and don't let your Aunt butt in, it's yours and OH's wedding day! xx

hi urg, i do read but don't often post, but spotted your post on fay's diary.
I'm glad you have your venue booked and don't let your aunt stick her nose in, you need to have the wedding that you want not what everyone else wants otherwise you'll regret it.
well done on the weight loss, you're doing lots of things at onces so my hat is off to you.

Thanks BOB - I notice that you are famous now! I'm not sure I am doing very well today - lunch was Jacket, cheese, crisps and a finger of fudge! Thankfully it's salad tonight!

I do like your weekly and monthly plans. I have become nerous latley that one of my real life friends is on here so I don't feel completely safe posting everything, altohugh I guess it would be difficult to find me really. any how, enough rambling. I tihnk I might the plans a go.

cheers love and good luck with finding a decent venue, your aunt can most definitely butt out you only have one wedding do it your way xxxx

Ooh - sorry to hear that you are worried about being observed here. I know what you mean about wanting this part of your life to stay private.

I am getting a bit bogged down with lists - I really need to keep one list in one place. I had been using my time manager file but for some reason it just doesn't work. I might just go back to my other book. It seemed to work that way. It just means I am carrying around 5 different notebooks/diaries!

Hi Lemon Tree,

Thanks for popping in. The words of encouragement helps. The last month has felt a bit stressful.
I really need to get focused on the weight loss. I need to lose lots of weight. I am really too overweight for my height.

Take care

I'm making a bit of progress - the flat looks remotely tidy. I had a viewing yesterday but the girl isn't going to take it. I have to respond to an email from someone who is interested.

Still got a fair amount to do - will try to get on with a few more jobs this weekend.

Not heard anything about the job - don't think I've got it. I've got quite down about this. I have applied for a one-year maternity cover post at work but don't know if
a) I'll get it (I got to the last 2 when I applied for it when it was a permanent job)
b) I really want it - I really want to leave the organisation
c) I can be bothered.

I'm a bit low about the work front - I have been trying to get a promotion for nearly 2 years. I have no idea what I am doing wrong.

Enough of the moaning.

Sorry about work sugar, I guess you can only keep looking - so long as you don't you get the mat leave job. You have read Feel the Fear, think about a no lose decision? I found that chapter very helpful at times like that when honestly you aren't sure what you want.

You aren't moaning by the way, just sharing news!

Hey Buffy

Do you know - I think I've only read the first chapter. When I first got the book I wasn't ready and it was too painful. Time to dig it out again I think!

You should picture this scence = me on my laptop addicted to MSE as usual. OH on the other end of the sofa with his laptop playing some game. What a pair of saddos! :rotfl:

I think I'm off to bed soon. He looks like he's in for the long run!

Hi Urg.

Don't beat yourself up about the work thing. You can only do so much and i always think that if you don't get something then something better usually comes along eventually. if that makes sense.

Take care and have a good weekend.
