£1 loan payments, orangutans and learning it doesn't all happen overnight...

Kepp

Just worked it out and it should save me £985 and take a month of my DFD! :j

Hurry up and arrive now card, I'm not the most patient of people!

Woowoo

Woo hoo, that's a massive saving :j

I bet you are super smiley today

Do you think our lack of patience contributed to our current situation! I don't think I have changed at all on that front.

Yay to an extra saving :j, that's very significant too!

I'm getting tired just reading about all your planned work, you must be so tired, do you ever get to see your OH? :rotfl:

Am very happy today!

I think it probably did. But then i think we are learning a lot of patience while paying this off so hopefully that will help us not get in the same situation again.

Your dedication is to be admired Beccie. I'm not sure I would do it, even if I did have the time... although who knows, perhaps if I thought it would get me out of my situation I would...

I did waitress for a while when I was first separated - I was working full time as a secretary, commuting 4 hours a day to and from work, helping to set up the new business (that I work for now) and training to be a lawyer at the same time! My waitress shifts were two nights a week and I remember the restaurant was really quiet so I used to bring my notes and put it inside the reservation diary so i could pracice case lawy between customers! It wasnt easy, but I think for me then it was therapy to get over the fact I was getting divorced and missing my kids... Not sure I dot that again now though, too old, too tired.

Woowoo

That is dedicated EB, just shows you can achieve your dreams if your willing to put the work in x

I think I would find it harder if I didn't have the reasons for doing it. A few years ago when I was doing it just to pay rent then that was depressing as hell.

That's real dedication EB - not sure I could cope with all that work and then study on top of it.

Been in the other office learning to hula hoop this morning - that's been entertaining

Bought two Xmas presents yesterday (look at you lot making me all organised! ) so not going to be able to pay much today. Will get on Lloyds later when it stops messing me about and try and make at least a small payment.

I really want to go sub 23K this month and I am determined not to be beaten by £181!!!

Yay to starting Xmas shopping :j

OMG I love hula hoops although in the 20 odd years since I last had one I must have learnt to suck at it....can't keep the damn thing in the air for more than 10 seconds now! .

Woowoo

I can't even keep it going for 2 seconds, I'm rubbish!

Well done on the Christmas Presents - its only 36 days to go....

I can do about 2 minutes - then I die, I am sooooo unfit
