  • Operation Greece

    I go on holiday on the 31st July for 11 GORGEOUS days in Greece. well they had better be :)

    Ideally I would like to be debt free by then. Its probably not possible but hey we shall see, it would be fantastic.........!

    Loan is currently £2538.30 Credit card is about 800 pounds.

    I need to get proper figures for that.

    Three problems,

    1. Glasses. I need new ones for the drivingness, so I spent 195 on 2 pairs, every day ones and a pair of sunglasses. wasn't expecting that. :(

    2. Birthdays. I haven't budgetted enough for Mum's plus I owe her fifty quid for my Nephew's birthday!

    3. And I need to pay £150 for my holiday in April and £288 in May! :T

    At some point depending on if I pass my test I may have driving expenses......which could be a big fly in the oiment.


    So expenses for March's pay to cover

    £50 to Mum
    £250 on Tesco's (glasses plus dinner out last night oops)
    £150 or Holiday

    plus Loan repayment £600 and Card payment £50

    which is a total of

    £1100.

    Not entirely sure I can manage that....

    goes to lie down in a dark room.


    April's

    there will be a cc bill for Mum's birthday £100?

    £288 for the holidays.

    £700 on debts at least

    And frankly I had better become a hermit in April cos I won't have any spare money. Although there is a big party at the end of it.....

    If I manage that - ie cc and holiday paid off by the end of April, the loan would be £1500 or so, the cc 600

    Which would leave May and June's pay to sort that out.

    Now obviously my maths is going to be predictably useless and all this is a bit vague but I had such a laugh last night that I can't be bothered to worry about it too much except to say that I had better start making some extra money to cover my plans.

    There are more things to write about but it is free listing day on e bay for me and i had best get on with things.

    see you all later
