Hey!!

Yeah I'm cool!

Sorry haven't been around for a while

Not really much to report on, just that only got my 2 loans left!! Other than that I have been doing stuff to my flat. I have been spending money too but all budgeted for and all my own cash and not credit. All stuff for the flat and a few things for me. Bit of a treat for me after going from 6 credit cards, 1 store card, 3 loans, HP on a camera and HP on a laptop to just 2 loans!!

I will get back on the boards soon, promise xx Just that I needed some time away not being sooooo obsessed about money all the time.

Miss you all!!! xx

Wow hun thats brilliant! :j

Cor, has it really been over 2 months since I last posted here gosh!! Time has flown!!

Debt repayments have taken a back seat at the moment, although still paying them off, just not at the rate that I was. I'm now trying to round up as much money as possible to go travelling this summer!!! Round Europe. Hopefully will be fab!!

Also, I need some help and advice from you guys, I have posted this and any info would be greatly received, I'd hate to have to knock it on the head because of money

I hope to be posting a lot more soon xx

Hello!! :j :j

I've no idea about your query I'm afraid but I hope someone else knows xx

Hullo hullo hullo!! :hello:

Well, things have been ok, moving along pretty well in terms of becoming DF. Been really good each week and cut my food shopping right down so have been able to save a bit more money. This is all going towards my big big plan, travelling around Europe this summer, June to middle of July. See my sig for up to date balance of savings for this.

Had some bad news though my debt looks set to go up by £2.5k sometime very soon Because I undertook a qualification and didn't pass, I will have to repay the cost of the course. Not sure how etc. Have sought advice from the union though to see what I can do.

Also, (more news!!) I have decided that I hate this place (work) soooo much that I am leaving at the end of May 2007. Just before I go travelling.

and then...................

I plan to start an Access Course at college for a year to begin training to be a teacher!! This course will then be my stepping stone to go to uni next year :j I am really excited Although it'll be a long slog, but am really looking forward to it.

Only thing is, it means that my debt will again go up, student loan and the like. Will it be worth it??? Will I become debt free?? I will won't I?? BUT I have got many good skills now, like budgeting etc so hopefully won't spend so much of it. And one of my loans ends in November 2007 and the other ends in September 2008, so next year, by the time I start uni I will actually be debt free :j for a bit!! Well, not including this work thing that is currently hanging over my head.

I also want to make a start on getting off my anti-depressants once I leave this stupid place, hopefully I can do it.

Got a mobile phone and some jewellery on eBay at the moment, they end on Sunday, fingers crossed!! Got a Warhammer set to sell on there too, hopefully that will make a few pennies! And getting into this matched betting so again, hopefully, can make a few squiddlies for that!! So that will all help for paying my bills whilst I'm away, my actual travelling and towards my year at college!!!

Phew, glad to get that all off my chest. I hope to be back a bit more.

Miss ya!! xx
