Thanks Missy and Prim.
It shows how much I've changed that I now feel distressed if I can't throw hundreds of pounds at my debt in a month.......when I started here I wasn't even living within my pay many months!

hi i know how you feel about this, i do remember one of the first posts i ever made was the fact that i had £10 left of my overdraft the day before payday and hadn't used the CC. Living within my means was such an achievement i just had to celebrate it!

Glad you're doing better too Lemontree.

I've had a big spend day today. I've been looking for knee high boots I can wear to work for over a year. They're always too big for my calves and wrinkle up so I look like Nora Batty!

Found some in Clarks today and some boot trees so over £100 gone but I think it is a good spend!

hey jellie how are you?

I've been wanting to pick your braks for a while.

You're a teacher aren't you?

what age range to you teach as I would love to do it, am starting my degree in february in the hope that I will be able to be a primary school teacher.

*Jellie*

I'm a secondary school teacher but know some primary school teachers too.

My degree is in english language and literature and is with the open university, I know I have to do some teacher training, but is that the sort of degree they're looking for??

I've looked on a couple of websites but I can't quite fathom it out.

*Jellie*

I'm sure that would be fine as it is a key subject area. Try checking the TTA website?

They have to be the hardest thing to buy! I've gone round every single shop I can find several times over the last couple of years with no luck! Good luck finding some.

Work ok- baby steps!

you're doing wonderfully though hun.

Love the sound of the clarks boots, I have the opposite problem I have to really struggle to do boots up, as I have rather small feet and rather big calves, not good!!!
