Morning hun, Was it quiet last night that you gave up so early ? Dont go slipping back into your old ways yet Miss Helen, Still some work to be done <<stern look>>
So .. this time last week, you were on £207 , so a wee bit of catching up to do today and tonight if you want to beat last week and settle some more bills. Is this the last payment to Wonga this week ?
I heard on the news that the Church of England is declaring war on PD loan companies, I dont suppose they will do much good unless theyre going to be offering cheaper loans ! lol
So .. youre probably working since you were coming on at crack of dawn .. Catch you later x

Morning Hun.....I won't go slipping into my old ways....I think it's because I knew I was nearly there so I decided to get some sleep....but you're right...I could have carried on for another couple of hours!! I promise to try and do better....

I want to get to £185...so another £7 left to get....and I've not got a lot of time to get it....

Well I will NEVER get another PayDay Loan...EVER....I will be paying QuickQuid tomorrow completely and yes, next Thursday is my last Wonga Payment....So i feel really good about that!!

I'll be Working today until 10.30am and then I'm Working tonight and I will try to last the WHOLE night tonight!!

Hope you have a GREAT day today hun xXx

Hi Hun....Yep, I've finished this morning on £186 for the Week so far....so a pound over what I needed to make.

I paid Rent and the other Payment to Mum in the early hours this morning...It felt soooooooooo good to be able to do that and know that I COULD do that....If that makes sense...

So, tomorrow is my FINAL Payment to QuickQuid and it is going to feel AMAZING to have that one done and dusted!! Never Again!!

Yeah, it's a real shame that the Forum is going to be down this Weekend....I won't know what to do with myself!! But I PROMISE I won't give up...and I WILL get to my Target even if you are not there to nag me

Right...Off to get ready for my Placement now....I'll see you all at 8pm tonight for the Night Shift xXx

Ok , just to give you something to focus on, By 3am last Friday morning, you were at £277, So you need at least that if you want to match last weeks money, Ive kinda lost track of how much you have to pay out on debts next week, But thankfully with QQ gone, that will give you some extra to throw at something else. And it will feel wonderful to kill off Wonga. Companies like that make me so mad, they take advantage of people when they are at their lowest ebb, no morals at all in that business.
I know you will always have ongoing regular payments of rent & loan to your mum,and those huge debts hanging around in the background, hopefully they wont suddenly come to life until you are in a position to make some payments on them. If they do, you will be in serious doo-doo ! And we dont want that !!
Just cos youre killing some debts right now doesnt mean you can take your eye off the ball ... in fact, if you want to take a week off work & have a break...which you will have to at some point or you will go bonkers, you need to build up a cushion of at least £500, to pay the debts while you are relaxing.
Keep smiling babe, You WILL get there, I promise you

Hi Helen, last day of the school term yesterday so busy busy day, so not to check in earlier.

Glad that you are keeping the money coming in, although as Mara said, you are probably a little behind on last week. Also, you said last week that Sunday's are dead, so you will probably not earn much then. That gives you tonight/Friday and Saturday to really earn your target for the week. You still need to earn around £300 if you are to make the same as last week, so still quite a way to go yet.

Sure you will get there, just need to really get down to it and get those hours in over the next few days. Also, it would be great, once the payday loans go, if you could start on a cushion (again Mara's suggestion). This shouldn't stop you working, but if something happens, then you know you have something to tide you over.

Still rooting for you Helen. I know you can do this.

Ok, home from work at six after a supermarket dash, dinner cooked, pots washed, dinner eaten, load of washing on ... Wonder how long i have to wait till hubby offers to make coffee ......

Tired tonight, its a hectic time at work, show season, we take the business to five shows, big stand and hospitality to our customers. Early starts and late finishes. That starts next week .. Then im on holiday for a fortnight from the 12th . ... Well ready for that !!

On tuesday my sis arrives for a week, so three extra people to feed ! Eeek must menu plan ! :eek:

Evening People....and Special Hugs to Mara and Pesto Pasta for always supporting me and keeping me going...

I'm just getting ready to Log back on for the Night Shift....

I WOULD like to get a Cushion so I can take a little time off....even a Weekend would be lovely....but I know I need to be consistent in my earnings first...

I'm still on track to earn as much as last Week if I stick to the hours that I have set for myself over the next 3 days (and tonight)....So, I just have to stick to them and I'll be fine!!

Am tired and headachy tonight but am determined to make it till morning....And my Regular has made an announcement that he wants to talk to me every night this Week so that's tonight, tomorrow night and Saturday night....and then he goes back to Work next Week so it won't be as often...I shall miss him greatly....he's such a Sweetheart...

Placement went really well this Afternoon....although am pondering things that happened....and just letting it mull over in my mind....

So that's me....I'll be logging on in 10 minutes time...and I'll keep you updated throughout the Night...xXx
