    Hope to hit 51% but will need DH wages for that which get paid next Tuesday but yes I can update my spreadsheet and signature. It feels like its been a long time coming.
    I have been to Portugal before and loved it we are going to a different place but just need the break and thought I would treat us.
    I have big plans for me and ebay when I come back I hoping to make lots of extra money through June, I would need to make about £600 to get me to 52% so that could be a good challenge.

    Well a very strange day for me, I have had some problems at work which I may have mentioned before and after being spoken to badly last night by a collegue i decided life is too short for this anymore. I handed my notice in today :eek: i think im a little shocked by my actions but im sure i will find something else and I do have plans which I am working on. My boss was out the office today but knows and said we will talk tomorrow hey ho ive done it now and strangley it feels quite good. :o
    The other side of this means I havent paid as much of the debt as I had planned plus the break has taken some of the money so the figure for May payday are :

    Debt £24950 May 2011 - 50% paid off :j:j

    I do plan to come back all refreshed and ready to ebay the contents of the house away in a bid to get this debt cleared. On the plus side we can manage on DH wage if we have to it will just take longer to clear the debt, all I know is the next 50% will be paid off quicker than the first 50%(17 months)

    Your dead right taxi, even though I have had a very restless night i do worry a lot. Life is about choices and Im fortunate enough to be able to make the choice. I have a meeting with my boss this morning and I plan on telling him they may enjoy treating the staff like carp but im not prepared to put up with it anymore. It is a shame as I do enjoy what I do but I feel I/all staff deserve to be treated better dont think its too much to ask.
    You are doing fantastic with the weight loss putting us all to shame again ;), hope you enjoy your weekend looks like wellies and suncream are in order.
