Stephie's 100 Strokes of the Brush before Bed

rdchick

Hi and welcome to my new shiney diary where I will document my lifes highs and lows for the next few months as I become debt free - oh won't it be lovely!!

A bit about me:
I'm Stephie, 22, from the south coast (best part of the UK ) I graduated last year and hated every second of uni, but I have my degree now so all is good!! I live with my boyfriend and our little naughty kitten who is hilarious!

Each post will state:

• Current debt:
• Current amount paid off:
• Current weight: (because I have some to lose!)
• Current onepoll balance:
• Current eBay total:

Plus all my stuff on my signature!

I warn you now there will be ramblings and rants as I get confused easily...

• Current debt: £7282
• Current amount paid off: £502
• Current weight: 195lbs
• Current onepoll balance: £6.15
• Current eBay total: £180.82

So today is the day I sort my credit file out - o2 is showing that I am in 5 month worth of arrears - when I talk to o2 they say there shouldn't be anything showing as in arrears as I'm all up to date - hmmmm (I secretly know I probably have some arrears but I just want it to say satisfied!) so I am waiting for a response from Equifax now to get intouch and change my report!! Argh! Nothing's easy is it?!

So I have made some pennies with eBay this weekend and what ever's left after postage is going on the credit card - I know that it has less interest than my overdraft but I want to be out of the credit card by August - that's the plan anyway!!

Oh ruddy 'ell just checked Equifax again and now it's saying that my store card has a late payment - I PAID IN FULL LAST MONTH arghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

So pleased you have started a diary. You have been an inspiration and support for me as I start my DFW journey so I'm looking forward to seeing how you get on.

I think the e-bay money going straight to the cc is a good idea, it's too easy to see it as treat money and spend it before even thinking about it.

Hope you sort out equifax.

Aww thanks Sparkley - I really don't see myself as an inspiration lol I'm a bit useless at it all really but getting there - really have to train your mind! I did think to myself whilst in Brum on Saturday - I wish I hadn't closed my new look account and could spend some pennies today but I had nout - no money whats so ever so nope not happening - probably for the best!!:rotfl:

I'll be in on that one - it might make me actually stop eating and get off the sofa once in a while :rotfl:

I'm 5'7" too and wish I was 195lb - I'm an embarassing 258lb and a size 22

I'm 5'6" and I'm about an 18 at the moment as well! This time last year I was I think a 16, but on the lower end. I've piled it on recently but unfortunately not because I'm in love!!! That's very sweet of your OH though, it means he LOVES you and I think it's lovely! Better than him asking you to lose weight :rotfl:

I SO want to be your debt and fat busting buddy, yes please! And Sparkerly if she wants to be! Yay! :j

Right, I really have to go and do some work now, but will check in soon!

Take care my lovely, enjoy the rest of your day!!!

I am a horrid emotional eater though - I eat when I am happy, stressed, bored etc however if I am heartbroken it falls off!! Just don't like being heartbroken!!

Right then girlies - shall we make a little target for ourselves? I would like to be at least 2 stone lighter by my birthday in October - that's ages away but 4 months and the summer is here and my gym membership is being paid for a reason so it needs to be done!!!

Must get on with some work too - boss has just praised me on the fact our biggest client has mentioned all my hard work (tehehehe if only they knew!!)

Muchos Love
