My diary - getting rid of my debt deamons!
Comments

Thanks in need of direction, will do.
It is about 1.20 in the morning and I am still sitting at my laptop, just like I have been for the last few nights now. At least it is the weekend so that I don't have to cope with work and dissertation!
Never usually say this, but roll on Monday, I just about cannot wait to see the end of this weekend already!
Hope everyone else out there is having a good one though :-)[STRIKE]Family £400[/STRIKE] CC1 [STRIKE]£415[/STRIKE] Lloyds [STRIKE]£460[/STRIKE] [STRIKE]Natwest£750[/STRIKE] £627.59 Tesco [STRIKE]£1880[/STRIKE] £1725 Grand total £2,352.59

Here I am again, half past midnight just now but I am very likely going to have to pull an all nighter here. My conclusions need finalising and I need to write my abstract, then pull the whole thing together. Last night i was up until 6am, I went back to bed for a few hours but then got up and back to it.
I didnt realise how long i would need to finish, but i should because i have done a dissertation before. Anyway, now I am where I am. Bottom line is, i will get this finished even if it does take all night, and I will get this in by the deadline (2pm).

I am done!! I finished and I handed it in on time! I stayed up all night Sunday, glued to my computer, I finished about 9am Monday morning, then got ready and went to the office to print, then after finding somewhere to bind it, eventually handed it in about 1pm, one whole hour before the deadline! I have never been so relieved, it was weird, but didn't feel tired!
Then I got home and eventually did feel tired, so I didn't even feel like drinking the wine I bought to celebrate!
Then though, I was up in the early hours of the morning being sick, not sure why, it could have been the stress, or something I ate. So i'm working from home today, and feeling better now.
Good news, been offered 2 job interviews too! :j:j:j:j:j so it's all good at the moment. :j:j[STRIKE]Family £400[/STRIKE] CC1 [STRIKE]£415[/STRIKE] Lloyds [STRIKE]£460[/STRIKE] [STRIKE]Natwest£750[/STRIKE] £627.59 Tesco [STRIKE]£1880[/STRIKE] £1725 Grand total £2,352.59

Thank you for your kind comments!
One interview last week which went well (i think, although i have not heard back yet) and 2 telephone interviews and a face to face interview scheduled over the next 2 days!
Only small debt payments made, and I admit at the weekend I did treat myself to a few bits. I still aim to get rid of the debt on target, so need to get my focus back.
Will update on the job interviews[STRIKE]Family £400[/STRIKE] CC1 [STRIKE]£415[/STRIKE] Lloyds [STRIKE]£460[/STRIKE] [STRIKE]Natwest£750[/STRIKE] £627.59 Tesco [STRIKE]£1880[/STRIKE] £1725 Grand total £2,352.59

Everyone has blips. At least you didn't add to your debt. Just do what you need to to keep a positive interview attitude.Mortgage at 01.01.14 £119,481.83:eek: today £0 Emergency fund £5.5/5.5k & £200/200 cash.:jWeight 24/02/19 14st 7lb now 12st 1lb determined to stop defining myself by my mistakes.
