wow i didnt know that lemon tree :O xx

Woowoo

I think that's hilarious Lemon Tree, anything to make their life more difficult is great as far as I'm concerned!

Hi Woowoo,

Love love love your diary! Have subscribed so I can keep up.

The small payments is a brilliant idea, I hope it annoys the hell out of them!

Gonna join you in doing this - I quite often lose motivation in between pay days and think this could be just the thing I need

Good luck in your journey x

I still laugh at the fact you make these small payments! I'm going to do this I think for every day this month, pay £1 off my Egg credit card!

Woowoo

Hi Beccie

The small payments are a great motivator and really help to maintain focus.

I take it your debt busting as well then?

Woowoo

Do it Adam! Your next statement will be pages long lol!

Kepp

I am indeed!

After finding a lot of motivation from reading other people's diaries I decided to start my own a little while ago.

I am trying to shift a 24K debt in a year - my main job pays me 19K a year and then I am working doing as much extra as possible.

I know it's probably a daft challenge but I find I'm always much more spurred on by trying to do the impossible, I have no idea why!

Woowoo

What other work are you doing Becci?

I used to do cleaning after my main job, but back when I was still in spending mode! I have thought of doing it again but remember how knackered I was!

I also work in a pub and have two different cleaning jobs, it is quite tiring!

I promised myself that when I came back from Africa I wasn't going to do 70 hour weeks like I had been doing before I went, but good intentions and all of that, I've slowly been slipping back into it...

I am tired from it but always feel like I've got over the hurdle of the week by Wednesday afternoons! That's because Tuesday is my longest day - I work from 730 till 430 at my main job, home for a quick shower and something to eat and then to the pub, work 6 till 1230 up again on Wednesday to be back at work for 730, trying to keep my eyes open! Sorry that was a very me, me, me whinge!

But whenever I'm feeling a bit down from the hours I look at the money I'm paying off and most times that's enough

Seems like you're very busy with extras like leaflet delivering too

Woowoo

Oh my god, I feel knackered just reading about how many hours you work!

What were you doing in Africa?
