Ugh, this has been such an awful month. I made a major f*ck up at work and I might lose my job, total nightmare. My boyfriend is fed up of his work anyway so we are considering making a fresh start in a new city. The way things are right now, I feel like moving to Timbuktu and never coming back.DEBT FREE!

Didn't want to read and run. I am sorry to hear about your work issues; I'm sure you'll be doing all you can to rectify your mistake and keep talking to the boss; there should be a formal grievance procedure they have to follow, so dig out your contract so that you know what the process is.
But - and this is the silver lining - WELL DONE on being debt free and having some savings :j :j. This is a major achievement, and just think how much worse you'd have felt if this had happened before your LBM. You will get through this. Hugs xLBM 1st Feb 2015 £18182 to go

Holy cack so sorry for your horrible day. I must confess I've k'nobbed up loads in my jobs and gone home feeling like I don't want to go back. I promise it will gradually feel better day by day, come Monday 90% of your colleagues would have forgiven you and the company would have made great strides to rectify the issues and put in measures to prevent it happening again by anyone. If you were able to do something so terrible with there be stops in place to prevent it then there is also something wrong with the systems there too.

Happy weekend, hope everyone is doing well. Well, what a horrid week that was. I have been feeling so stressed out and anxious, it's nice to have a quiet weekend and try to forget all the drama that's been going on recently.
Yesterday I made a very long list of chores and other things which needed doing and have been working through it which has kept me well occupied. Listed a few bits on ebay including my digital camera so that should hopefully bring in a decent bit of cash to put towards the emergency fund. I'm a cr*p photographer anyway so might as well sell it!
I feel better that the house is now clean and in order, I had been neglecting it this week and it makes me feel anxious if the place is a tip. OCD much?? Also feeling quite anxious that our lease is up in 6 weeks and I still don't know where we're going to be living after that. I know everything will work out in the end, I just don't like the feeling of uncertainty right now.
Planning to make some sort of stew or curry today to use up all the veg I have in the fridge, and going to have a nice relaxing bubble bath. Ahhh Sundays.DEBT FREE! AS OF 25/02/15

Well done Hannah, sounds like a corner has been turned and you can now start to focus on positive changes (albeit stressful ones). What doesn't kill us makes us stronger and all that.Goal to Clear Debts £4592 Total Progress since 03/10/2020 £2802
