    Hi hun, life seems to be a big whirlwind for you at the minute. Hope things are looking up at work, can only get better. Look how you turned your debt into something positive, we've all learned so much from you watching you get those debts down. Be no time at all before work will seem the same.
    Speak soon. X

    Thanks all:T!

    Work is do-able today because I know I only have to get through tomorrow and then I have a week at home cuddling my hubby and DS. Oh and graduating of course:D!

    Then I think I just need to get back and get my head down. Looking forward to my pay on Thursday - hopefully its just the lift I need to show me its all worth it:j!

    Your support is invaluable - don't know where I'd be without you all (most likely on a flight back to Glasgow!:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:!!). You laugh when I decide to be funny, and pick me up when I'm on the floor.

    Can't wait to see what the postman has brought at home - hoping for a reply to my F&F to Next. The expiry date I gave was the 26th. Doubt they will go for it - It was for 20% - hey you gotta start low. Can't afford more than 30%, and would love to be rid of this one for 2010:rolleyes:.

    Morning all!

    Just about to head over for my last day before I fly home for an entire week. Hope its not too horrid! I probably won't post tonight because I don't finish until 2030, and I still haven't packed!:)

  • Hi,

    I've been reading this diary for the last few weeks. I caught the start and got back into it not long ago. I've been meaning to comment for ages but I never seem to have got around to it before.

    First of all, I want to say how brave I think you are to be facing your debts head on and to be working so far away from home. You're lucky to have such an understanding partner, my boyfriend would go mental if I did that. We've been apart for three years as it is and he's sick of it. And well done for being so devoted to money saving that you're willing to do difficult things to make things cheaper. You'd never catch me taking a National Express from London to Glasgow, I think it'd kill me! :eek: I hope your problems at work get resolved soon.

    Thanks Kayleigh:T,

    My husband is being very understanding God Bless:rolleyes:! But we do hope its not a long term arrangement as the travelling and living away from home is very stressful - and the job itself is super stressful!

    Thanks for reading!:j
