Hi Loubie_Lou!!It's my birthday on the 5th Sep - and although I am 26 this year, last year when I was due to turn 25, it really was a significant age to me, and definately a motivating factor in wanting to be debt free and sort my life out!It would have been great to have been able to say I was debt free on my 25th birthday and as it was, I ended up with a DFD of the 27th Oct - so not too far off!!Its great to have goals to work towards, and even making your mind up that you want to be debt free is a fab start!!I hope you have a very happy birthday on the 4th my dear! Enjoy it, and treat yourself to a little something - it will keep you going, and you can't be MSE ALL of the time. xx

You can do it Loubie Lou and we're all her to support you, keep logging on here and we'll keep you on the straight 'n' narrow! I've lost count of the number of times I've been tempted to have a slurge then logged on here for my daily 'fix' and have rapidly changed my mind.

loubie_lou

aaah thanks guys thats really nice of you to say. Nice to see you again miss london. Hope things are going well for you. I'm hoping to be debt free by my 27th birthday. So fingers crossed!!!!

Themaccas i really am going to keep and try on the straight and narrow!!!

Great.......

Lost my temp job today.......

Oh no, poor you, just as you were feeling so positive about things too. It's odd that as soon as we try and start actively paying off our debts, something like that seems to happen (it probably used to happen before come to think of it, but we would have just papered over the cracks with our trusty credit cards!). Good luck for getting another job sorted very quickly and hope it doesn't dent your motivation. Keep going!

PS I love the fact that you're going to have a lightbulb moment on Monday - that's forward planning for you!

loubie_lou

There are a couple of possibilities snagglepuss, so fingers crossed xx

loubie_lou

I was feeling positive but have taken a step back now, but its my birthday on monday, so a little celebration there! Also mysecond lightbulb moment of course!

loubie_lou

There might be a couple of potential jobs starting next week. i hope the agencies get up off there backsides and tell me if I have been successful or not!

I need to start planning my new budget!!!:j

loubie_lou
