Hey LondonGirl, remember the discussion about bullying bosses?

I've just heard that the Director who bullied me and 4 previous PA's has "decided to leave". I'm reading into the announcement that she has been "encouraged" to do so. Tis just a pity that there's no PA vacancy there, having just appointed someone last week, otherwise I'd have applied for my old job back.

Oh, and I was tempted to buy a pair of skates as a leaving present, lol.

Methinks I can hear the hallelujah chorus.

Och how's the studying and stuff going LG? Not heard from you for a wee while so hope everything is okay? Just resting now. Got a new couch (sofa) from the charity shop (2 seater rather than 3) for £10 today :j.....and like budget so far going a bit better today....

Went grocery shopping yesterday and including £2 on baking boxes and like £1.18 on milk it came to less than £20 whoop whoop whoop when I've just increased the housekeeping to £40 so hoping next few weeks I can get it down again...

Hope all is well.. Knee is still sore

Hiya hun, how's the studying? Our house is under the cloud of exams too, and I'm part of the back-up team so I am sending you a virtual support package (Croissants for breakfast, cupcakes while revising) in the hope it helps you.

Hi Everybody!

Thanks for leaving me some nice messages studying was SO hard and I was unbelievably stressed. I was at college till 9pm most nights so unfortunatley MSE got abandoned

The exams finished last Thursday - hardest week of my life - even harder than working out how much debt I had last September! There were tears and there were a couple of naughty ciggies when the natural remedies just wouldn't do. BUT I did it, I am happy with my papers, I know they weren't amazing but I had a good stab at everything and couldnt have worked harder if I tried so if I do fail I will be disapointed but you just never know!

Results 12th July! EEK

In the midst of that was my birthday I had a lovely day and revised hard so that I could meet some friends for a drink in the evening, they made me a horsey cake which I LOVED! I am the grand old age of 24 now - Debt free by 25 PLEASE!!!!!

It took me the whole of Friday, Sat and Sun to feel back to normal, sleep deprivation took over and I just flopped!

On Saturday I had a party with my local rugby club I help at for their end of rugby season! We do it every year, black tie and I fixed a brilliant venue through a friend which impressed everyone so I was quite chuffed, BUT I did see my best friends (the girl who had cancer last year) boyfriend with another girl... heading to his accomodation, hand in hand. So that was a difficult conversation - I never trusted this guy - and he did admit it and is now grovelling. A**hole

SO I bet you're all wondering how I did money wise.

Well, not bad considering!

I will update my siggy after this post but here's the lowdown:

In May I paid off £219.97
I did end April with £380 in my online saver but then May took care of that and it all got spent. On Food. I ATE SO MUCH!!! It was the only thing that kept me going! And because I spent all day till late at night at college I was eating most meals out ... macdonalds, nandos, sandwiches... you name it, I ate it.

Also this weekend I just spent without thinking so its had a knock on effect to how much cash I have this month

AND the standing order to the sharesave scheme of £150 is now being deducted from my pay so thats another chunk less than normal

It has left me a bit short this month to pay off as much as I normally would. I'm currently at £316.79 for the month (after my Post Office DD goes out) but I think I should be able to take that up a bit - I would like to pay off £400 but it means reducing by daily budget so I'll see how I am doing towards the end of the month.

Current debt stands at £8,305.36

NW C Card is at £561.75 - so the month after next I expect this to be cleared

NW Loan is at £4,296.39 - When NW C Card is paid off I'm increasing the DD from £104.79 to £150

PO C Card is at £3,447.22 - When NW C Card is paid off I'm increasing the DD to £400

I knew I couldn't keep up paying off the usual with everything going on so I'm just pleased I still paid off a chunk and did not use credit once.

I'm already geared up and ready to attack it again, last night I made some turkey bolognaise which cost very little and it made 7 portions.

Tonight I am going to view a flat, it is a little more money but I think I can manage without affecting the debt busting but it looks a lot nicer from the pics, my current room is breeding lady birds and clothes moths which I am NOT loving, the windows don't close properly and there is so much damp in the living room the wall covering has fallen off. The owner just does not look after it at all and I'm so fed up off pulling clothes out of my drawer to find moth sized holes in them!!!

I will update you on that tomorrow!

Phew, it feels good to be back!

Remind me, did you find another job already?

Hi!

Yes, I was taking them through revision but during exams they made zero difference but I think that's because I worked myself up so much!

SO pleased to be done now!
