    Thanks guys. You are right. Why would I want to be friends with them anyway. It would just cost me in the long run! Best to keep it professional.

    In my old job there was a small group of us but coz it was a local office and not the city, none of us had any money and we just used to go caf!. Lunches up here are £15 a time!

    Its 101 days till my DFD so knowing that now and reading your helpful posts I do feel much better. Its 10 months today till my wedding day too! This time 10 months I will be in my dress and ready to get into my vintage car with my dad all nervous :D

    You guys are so great and supportive. Also spoke to OH and he just reminded me we have spag bol tonight with the bolognaise out the freezer which we batch cooked in December and Bocitini spaghetti we brought back from Rome. That also cheered me up!

    I will be all the more happier than any of these peeps asking me out for lunches will be! Must keep positive. Going to go over to the wedding boards in a bit and get some inspiration :) thanks again guys! Luv ya’s! xxxx

    100 days to go and counting!!!

    Hi all. Snow for London today. Was slipping and sliding all around! Haha! None at home thou.

    PAD £3.60 rounding down my account. That went into my savings account.

    A week and a half until payday and cor I cannot wait! I'm organised already for when it comes around!

    Got my independent medical tonite for my whiplash claim. Fingers crossed I'm not judged and it goes well.

    100 days today till I'm debt free. Doesn’t seem so far away now and its still do able. Just hoping on a bonus from work to finish it off in April or its back to the drawing board.

    you guys are going to be so proud of me!

    Last week i brought a pair of trousers and a new skirt for work from new look. cost £12 and £20. i felt a bit guilty but i do really need some new work attire - the stuff ive been wearing ive had for 5 years!

    Neway, the skirts lining ripped yesterday (the first day ive worn it) so i took it back and got a refund! (not an exchange - yay me!) then i saw the jacket that matches the trousers i got last week but put it back on the rail and walked out. woohoo so proud of myself! xxx

    Well done Keza:) You're doing well. I returned a couple of things as well last week, felt really sad but all for the best:).

    Snow in London, I didn't cycle :(. Tube and bus took me 1hr and 15 min-on the bike it's 25-30 min.No more snow pls, I hate public transport.

    Hi Keza,

    Congrat on Barclays! I'm losing it a bit I guess, just figured that I might not be able to pay back the loan as early as I wanted. My CC is building up, buying lots of phones on tesco's and until I sell them, I'm in minus! All for bloody plane tickets for brother's wedding-who gets married in the middle of the summer when everything is double the price?

    Ok, better go,otherwise end up moaning all morning...
