postingalwaysposting

BoB ~ Thanks, of course if I had contuined on f/t wages I am sure I could have adapted my lifestyle to that wage. But having been on p/t for so long I seem to have become accustomed to my lifestyle and what I can afford. Not long now till I am debt free if i have anything to do with things :T

Snaggs ~ Wow, I love you! You have but my 'debt' into perspective for me today. Yes some debts are bad, and I do regret having to have this small amount now, but what I have in return is far behond what I could ever have imagined, so yes it is 'good debt' really. Although I would give more to be even more slimmer the next few stone I want to do without getting deeper into debt :rolleyes: So here goes, it wont be around for long if I can help it :T Thanks so much for your kind and understanding opinion :kisses3:

Pap, sorry, didn't realise that you have lost soo much weight (rubbish at keeping up with the diaries etc). Well done - that's amazing. Managing that, a part time wage and such a low debt, you are brill. Keep going x

Me too, quietly plodding away in the background

You've done an amazing job with the weight loss PaP:T and you do a great job with the little money that you do earn

:rotfl: Gem, I guess I either talk too much or have too many lurkers. I think its the latter myself but I love knowing that others are following and somehow taking inspiration/motivation from me :T

Pen, you wouldnt have known. I did post way back in my old diary but didnt post about it after that. Therfore its only seen if I post a soa, being my opening post/page of this diary I felt I needed to post my soa. I have been on it months and months now but I am nearing the end so I will have plenty to repay debts/save soon

Sarah ~ Thanks for lurking, I must admit I do on your diray too Thanks I do try and make what money I have go as far as I can, not mastered it yet but I am getting there :j

So a little update...

As I mentioned in my old diray Mum repayed be the £80 she borrowed for Henry yesterday. So I decided to keep £10 for myself and I did spend a small amount (details below), £30 I have placed in my sisters card so that leaves £40. So £10.00 is for a family friend and then £30 for Mum... Well dispite me asking Mum what she wanted for xmas she had no idea hence the cash. She has now decided she wants two things, and I have also found her one more thing :rolleyes: All together these cost £34.03 plus I have a £5 voucher for Amazon from BP so £29.03 :T So I will get the £30.00 put into my bank tomorrow and order these gifts, then I will have finished christmas, definitely :rotfl:

So I did keep £10.00 back from the money for me. With this I spent £4.00 in the body shop on one of thier christmas fragrance oils and I also put £4.00 into my savings tin. My PaD today was £3.00 and when that clears I will officially be under £200 in debt on my credit card :j As I only have two days left before payday, the last amount left in my current account will be thrown at the credit card split between Wednesday and Thursday

Thats about it from me, just plodding along :rotfl: Keep going all :beer:

Hi Pap, I'm a serial lurker too
You're hardly plodding - sounds like you're racing along!

Well done, you're doing great and are inspirational with your weight loss achievements :T

SS ~ Thanks, still a fair way to go though :rotfl:
Mac ~ I am a serial lurker on your diary too, weird Ahh racing for a while but it will soon slow down in the coming months. Bring on 2010 :j


Afternoon all, so another few days have passed in the land of Pap. Not much has happened if I am honest... Although saying that its payday today I have been payed a little extra so after bill & todays PaD etc I am left with £170. I am hopping I can make this stretch untill January's pay, which I am sure I will if I am more savvy. The only thing I really desperately need is frontline for Thomas which I will order today but I have a code for 15% off the price so it will be about £14 for 6 months. Other than that I have nothing planned so if I am careful I am sure I can manage untill the new year...

So spends these last two days ~
Wednesday 11th ~ £2.00 Cambridge Magazine + £1.00 wrapping paper + 90p postage + £6.00 debt + £29.13 presents (as posted above)
Thursday 12th ~ £13.87 debt + £1.86 book (used £2.00 clubcard points)

Keep plodding all :beer:

£170 to last until Jan...
Wow that's some going PaP. I'm sure you'll do it though - you've even inspired me for a little "challenge"!
Yours, in plodville, Mac x

£155.67 now after Thomas' frontline :rolleyes: It will be until the 15th so [STRIKE]62[/STRIKE] 64 days. I am sure I can do it though, its £2.60 a day so at least it will cover my PaD's. I was going to get Mum another xmas gift but I have decided against it now. However her birthday is the 25th of Jan so I will make sure I spend a little extra on her then :T I love challenge's its a way to keep you focused. The fact that I have no disposable income next month helps :rotfl:

Keep plodding Mac :j
