An afternoon free :j well, I say free but I'll be busy working away at my own work and getting ebay parcels wrapped, ready for the Post Office first thing tomorrow.
Having a bit of a stressy time of things personal life wise at the moment, but I'm not going to go into hiding, or spend all my spare time in bed like before. It IS going to be work, work, work to get shot of the noose around my neck that's dragged me and those who were close to me down over the past 8 monthsThe debtWILLbegone - taking it 1% at a time

Wowzers, all work and no play is making dbg a tired and grumpy gal
It's a payday tomorrow, but I've been bouncing in and out of the overdraft so it's probably going to stay in there, the first big overpayment *should* come in the next couple of weeks if all goes to plan!
I'm getting so impatient to get it paid knowing the dosh is coming in, I want the money NOW :rotfl:
Early start to work tomorrow, and my hours are getting jiggled about I think, so I'm probably going to have to sit down and re-work all my jottings down that I've been doing over the past few weeks, doh!The debtWILLbegone - taking it 1% at a time

Hey just catching up on your diary. Hope you're doing ok. Any plans for the weekend?0

My weekend has been spent working, but I see a massive CONGRATULATIONS!! are in order for you :beer: What are your plans now your free?
I've got to seriously work my butt off in December & January if I want to hbos card gone as I've been a bit naughty and planned a weekend in GlasgowI need a break away from here with everything that's going on and a meet up with my single friends. Max spend £200, to include travel, food, a trip to the cinema and sat night out. Means I've got to find that £200 from elsewhere ontop of the grand I'm def short, plus I managed to get my hours switched and cut in one job, but that's leaving me down £33 a week that I'd calculate for, but better hours and more time to work on my own stuff.

Have done my new calculations and to have the hbos card gone by the end of January I'm going to be roughly £1500 short. I need to get a mini plan into action to kick it's butt once and for all!
Now my hours have been jigged around I'm going to be able to do holiday cover again, which there should be some of over dec and jan. I also need to get back to ebaying like a madwoman and pushing the Chrimbo sales as I'm pretty sure it'll nosedive in January!
Mission well and truly on!The debtWILLbegone - taking it 1% at a time

Thanks its still very strange!! Think i'm going to start saving for a house deposit eeeep!
Trip to glasgow sounds fun! You defo deserve it after the few months you've had0 -
evening! How is your week going? Can't believe its the weekend again0
-
Oohh, house deposit is very exciting! Any plans on a time-frame?
Suprise, suprise, I got stuck on the wrong side. Stupid weather! So I've not got to see Harry Potter, nor the George Sq Shindig or the teeny tiny little bit of shopping I was wanting to do. Instead I'm stuck in my freezing room (cause the heater ain't working properly, with the wind howling through the crappy single glazed, ancient windows in a room that has no insulation)moan over cos there are people waaay worse off than me.
I'd really like some good luck for a change, I must've broken about 5 mirrors the way my past year and a half has gone :rotfl:
Have you got the snow lying where you are? Some of the roads were seriously dodgy earlier, maybe because the gritters are either going at over 50 in a 30 so no salt is getting spread (witnessed by myself!) or after gritting in town, 5 mins later the road sweeper is going along picking it all up. What the flip the cooncil are playing at I don't know!
On the happy news front I know I'm going to be able to pay off £200 to the cards next week, then hopefully £400 the following week. At long last my figures are going to start coming down, woop!
Hope you're having a nice weekend, going to slob out in front of the fire later I thinkThe debtWILLbegone - taking it 1% at a time
