    Yey, something in the email I might be able to use (first for a while) - I'm transferring my pesky £3 RSPCA DD from my old Barclays account to my Nationwide C/A, been meaning to do it forever now, and hopefully now it'll get me £50! :) Is Nationwide one of your many accounts Dinah?

    Nope don't have them actually! My only current accounts are with HSBC or an unused one with Barclays. High street banks offer really poor savings rates usually, so I don't have savings with them either.

    I am scared to even think what topics your mind goes through when your bored.

    Hi NY1449 - I think there will always be a happy ending for anyone who is prepared to make changes and really work at it. It's addressing the cause of why you are in debt and stopping that pattern of behaviour that is hardest for most people. They want to clear the debt without changing their lifestyle at all, and in most cases unfortunately that just isn't possible. Best of luck.

    I am having another day where I am getting stressed out and trying to keep calm. A girl I work with just keeps getting stressy and it is just bringing me down. Trying to rise above it though.

    This morning is going sooo slow!

    Can you go for a walk at lunch Wendz? You seem to be struggling with things a bit at the moment and I find half an hour out of the office really helps me.

    Yeah am going to buy some biscuits, so will go for a walk while doing it.

    I think I just feel a bit stuck in a dead end at work. Not through my works fault but although I have promoted i am still doing the jobs an assistant would do because they can't employ anyone else so there are no assistants. Is quite repetitive work so just gets to me. The girl doesn't help as well, she is the same position so I know how she feels but moaning about it and getting stressy isn't going to help. Just makes me all worked up inside!

    I am just trying to make the best of things, I am really greatful for the job and it has great potential, just got to keep plodding along till things get better! Right that is off my chest now....
