Time to sort this life out diary

  • Hello again!

    Been pretty bad with my inconsistant posting again. But, here I am again logging the progress or lack of.

    Got a couple of calls from some agencies about some of the jobs I've applied for and have arranged some more in depth discussions for monday, so here's hoping.

    Had a bit of a disaster on the spending front the last couple of days. Had to get a Valentines day card for the OH (and yes I did spend more than 8p on this one), some de-icer and screen wash for the car and then had to get the train home from work the other day because the snow was so bad. So that's another £15 to find.
    I've changed my signature from make £5 pound a day to a 'neutral spend' challenge. As you can see it's not going entirely well at the moment. I need nearly a hundred quid to make up what I've spent since I started this diary.
    Had a whole £4 of Tesco (swear word) clubcard vouchers in the post today. I'll put these towards some petrol. £4 buys you about a thimbles worth nowadays doesn't it?!
    Also got £2.50 worth of nectar points to take off the shopping next week as well. Ooooo, the excitement.
    Debts - Car £0/£3000 :cry: Credit card £1500/£4250 :mad: OD £0/£1500 :T MBNA loan £0/£14000 :(
    TOTAL £1500/£22750!!!:eek:
