Kavics' bumpy journey to become once again DF!

Thanks Missy, £70 is actually quite a lot, this time last month I had about £10 . Though never ever again for a month like that.

it does make sense, I am more like your OH, I just don't care and don't want to make plans for the future. But my OH wants to know every details of the next 15 years and it drives me crazy. Well, we shall see.

Not much happening today, my to-do-list is empty. I shall enjoy that.

I sound like your OH and you sound like mine!

Sorry to hear about the job situation but it sounds like you are right to weigh it up, work takes up such a large part of your life that you have to make sure you are happy with it!

Review wasn't very good, the new job description is not acceptable. I agreed to do a trial month to see how I cope but this will only gives me time to look around the market and find a new job. They also want to increase my hours (5 extra a week) which I can't do, I'm already here for 50 hours every week. Not a good week for me- need to rethink my options . Feel very sad and deflated but I know that what they asked is not reasonable at all.

Trip to the bank today, will pay £207 towards CC and £180 towards loan. Waiting for salary to arrive, feel really really deflated atm .

Paid £600 towards loan yesterday as part of my salary came through early. I am hoping that above the minimum loan payments we can put alltogether appr £700 more towards loan. That's £2000 just on payments towards the loans:(. Really hope that Lloyds will be paid off in April, and than we can tackle Tesco's. OH needs a new bike, so that's another £200, the frame on his cracked and it's just a matter of time before breaks completely:(. Not good, not good.

Another £530 paid towards loan, we are officially under £5k on Lloyds. First payment was on 2nd of September so doing very well. I'm trully looking into new work at the moment, I can't manage all the things they want me to do:(. Sad as it is, I don't have a choice, fed up feeling so stressed at home. Salary wise I will be able to get the same with less things to do so looking good hopefully. Have one interview already on Wed, we shall see how it goes.

I'm off on Thurs so need to do massive ebaying, lots to sell. I can't put it off longer as i will be busy with OU from Feb.

I hope that something new comes along on the job front for you soon, it sounds like it is the right decision to make as you can't spend all that time unhappy.

The Lloyds balance is looking great, you are paying off huge amounts!

Interview went well though I'm thinking what I should do. Thinking about getting a paycut and reduce the load on the job, will need to talk to bosses what they think. Feel bad about leaving cause when you work with children, you get attached to them.

I've been listing on ebay all morning, had the quickest sale, within 5 minutes of listing the Scrabble I got for Xmas:). I have appr. 20 items still to put on, will do it either this afternoon or tmrw morning.

Went to the doctor, knee most likely will end up in surgery, I'm waiting for appointment from orthopedic surgeon. Not ideal but the pain is really bad. Have lost my voice overnight as well, came down with throat infection. Payday is today, so will make a loan overpayment tomorrow though it won't be much as we need to buy new bookshelves. New carpet fitted yesterday, after begging to landlord for more than a year. It's lovely but now have troubles putting everything back into the right place (I can't really,n eed to wait for bookshelf).

Ebay items are on (same id as here), 21 at the moment, couple of them have biddings, we really need to get rid of things. We are ordering new bookshelves and wardrobe today, that's appr. £150 out but we must as have not enough storage to put things. With my university books, I have already outgrown the shelves I have.

I have 4 babysittings booked in February,won't take more as have 2 assingments due as well. Salary partially in bank account but still can't figure out how much I can put forward loan, I have to wait till the 2nd. Wish to overpay right now but patience is a virtue they say.

Feeling rotten, my throat infection is not getting better, I have terrible cough as well:(.

kavics17

£500 paid towards Lloyds yesterday, loan payments are going out tomorrow. Will change signiture tomorrow. I'm hoping that with ebay sales and babysittings I can bring Lloyds down under £4000, that would be so good!!! Still feeling sick and ebay sales are picking up, many item ending on thursday and people are bidding nicely. Let's hope it stays like that.

NO change otherwise, still waiting for appointment with my knee, it will take most likely 10 weeks to get one.
