Dont ya just love sig change day / halfway there

Options
Pay day also coincided with the DDs for my debts coming out (470 quid) so for a brief time i had 2k in the bank!

But another chunk of the egg card and a&l loan is paid off, and ive set myself a reasonable target to end the month on.

Unfortunately a !!!! up with my planning meant i forgot all about my Tax bill, which i have now sorted, 500 quid over 3 months so that is extra to pay.

However (ever the optimist & it will be taken care of) ignoring that, the debt is now just over 2000 on the card and 4600 on the loan, taking into account that my savings will be 1100 this month (which i could pay now but im trying to make a liottle interest + is a fallback in case the worst happens) my debt would be 4600 loan and 900 for the egg card making my debt 5500!

Now i started on 10.5k in october so thats just (ok 250) over halfway towards paying all this off

Hopefully the magic of this moment will last longer but its moments like this that make it all worthwhile :)

    Cheers :D Its about time i got my own cheerleader ;)

    Just been looking for things to hawk on ebay, all i have is an ancient peice of computer equipment which wont sell, a bass guitar which is currently 20 quid (might put up an ad at the hospital were i work, see if i can get 30 for it), an x files clock (which no ones buying at the moment), a box i cant rach at the moment which i bet is full of junk, and some photo paper for a kodak camera/printer (which is prob the only thing i could sell there) and loads of myth and magic figures (which sometimes getabout 2 quid each)

    Looks like ill have to rely on my wages (hopefully if i get this new job my wage could rise by 250 a month)
