Day 1... where will it lead

LexieLou

Ola,

Still here, still trying to be all MSE. Although I'm not posting everyday ( mainly cos if i turn on my computer I'll stay on it way more than needed) I am here in spirit.

Nowt much to tell. Been a really tough month, mainly from my own doing, you know a fiver here and a fiver there and before you know it, whoosh youre down a tenner. So I have enough money to pay me on Monday, paid the wholesaler - so that's me happier - and I just need a good weeekends work to pay my credit cards on Monday. Paid money into the Scalifax today, so that's this months interest taken care off.

I know I will only be paying the min payment into my Credit cards this month, but I am really happy that I am even able to do that and better still that it's on time too. Things are sh!te at the min, I hate having no money coming in, but i'm not alone, which makes me feel slightly better,

Did a few sales on ebay at the weekend and that's £50 thrown at the Scalifax when Paypal transfers the money.

So yap over. I'm away to start dinner and also phone the Tex credits hotline AGAIN!! But if I had called when I got the form then I wouldn't be chasing my tail now.

Have a great evening all.

hi, glad to see you posting, paying minimums is still good, could be a lot worse.
have a great weekend

LexieLou

Thanks Lemon Tree,

Today was abismal at work, so skint again. Hopefully something comes up and I can get my hands on money for CC's on Monday.

Never know I might win a few £ tonight on the lottery. BTW that is one thing I refuse to give up...I might actually win it someday. I only want enough to pay off my debt, like that's not being greedy, just needy!

Bye.

hey Lexie baby!
Totally agree with lemon tree. Every little bit helps!
Pity about work today but- God always provides. All you have to do is your best!
It's been a lovely day today but spent it asleep and not at a bbq as i was feeling quite anti-social.
I am hoping to make afew changes starting Monday as the lsat few months havebeen a bit weird for me.
I need to gt my finger out re-spending and saving. Did i tell you i moved out. And since have been able to manage Ok with that i seem to have taken my eye off the ball on reducing debts...
Have a nice weekend guys!

LexieLou

No way Ziggles...why you move out? How are you liking being on your own?

I'm currently on the phone to Scalifax as I am chasing up a cheque that they are sending me.....ho hum

I think I'll be able to pay my CC's, well cover the mins without dipping into my monthly money if that makes any sense.

Off to waste more money on phone calls and i'm also off out tonight with some friends from college, which will be lovely.

See you tmmw....and Ziggles please update

Hey ladies
how are you.
i've had a great Monday- nothing great happened but i managed to get through it without killing anyone and being negative at work!
Lexie you should be like my dad- put in a complaint about spending so much time on the phone and demand they give you your phone money back!
i moved out 4 months ago- in the best way possible- we were all getting along really well, and it was just time and quite well received by all- especially dad! I have been so blessed to find someone who can put up with me and who i can put up with (so far). usual mini-annoyances but far from noteworthy.
i am sharing with a lady, older than me, the rent is affordable (just) and i am doing great. I'm just finding it a bit hard to get back into routine (i like my routine) and way of doing things, but i'm slowly stopping acting/feeling like this is temporary (you know the feeling when you aren't sure it'll be good enough to be (semi)permament
Also dropped my FWB of almost 2 1/2 yrs, and gave up all nonsensical hope of "the one who only contact's me when he's bored" doing anything more than that- both numbers have been deleted.

And that is what's been happening n Ziggle-topia lately. ;-)

LexieLou

Ziggles you are a busy wee bee...well done you.

Well i can't afford to move anywhere at the min , maybe if i seriously get a shimmy on I can get out of this mess by July 2012 as I missed my july 2011 deadline!!

I am loving that things are going well for you Ziggles and that Ziggletopia is rocking just the way you want....on the subject of asking for phone call costs back, I would love too except i owe them a huge o/d and they would ask me to pay it back just to spite me...so maybe on this occasion keeping quiet is the best option.

I paid my CC's today and the wench in barclaycard pointed out, very nicely, that i shouldn't actually be paying any CC's there other than Barclaycard as I didn't have a current account with them...so fair enough I will go else where next month, because on principal I REFUSE to open a CA with them.

Nothing else to tell...well maybe a wee bit...I'm on a mission to loose weight in the next 4 wks...so the poor dogs had the legs ran off them as I did the walk/jog thing...you know the 'I'm trying but so unfit to do this, so I'll make an attempt to run everytime I see someone coming towards me!!'

Anyway I'm sign off now and pop back tmmw.

Love you all.

I'm still here.

Set up a payment option on my Current account for Cap one, so i'm now doing the payment a day thing...worked for the last 2 out of 2 days so there might actually be some hope of it working a bit more.

Knackered tired...so i'll go. Should have been asleep hours ago only i lost the dog ( who is still lost) while out walking him.

Night all.

ziggles50

oh no sorry to hear that, i hope he comes home or you find him soon.

LexieLou

Dog is still lost....and he's not mine, he's my mums!!

Dog warden, police, taxi drivers everyone we can tell we are....fingers crossed and all that

Paid another 43p to Cap One....3 days out of 3.

Found an extra tenner in my bank account....where from who knows??

Off to bed as I've an early start.

So wish MSE had an ap...that way I could type in bed and not have to turn on my laptop and risk spending time on things that aren't actually important.

Night all
