London Socialite Sees The Light

I have just filled out the PPI reclaiming form for my halifax credit card, now need to dig out all my paperwork to find out how long I've have it for...

Hi LondonGirl,

I've decided to come out of my lurkdom to congratulate you on everything you've achieved this month. You've done incredibly well, not just with the revising and keeping on top of your debts and NSD days, but also maintaining such an interesting diary along the way. I've decided, from reading a couple of diaries, mainly yours, that I should also start a diary and I'd like to thank you for the inspiration and unrealised help you've given me. In lots of ways.

I hope you give yourself sufficient credit for how well you do in all of the areas in your life you mention in your diary.

A huge thank you and well done!

Hello LondonGirl252!

Just caught up with your diary after a couple of days off (in London actually) and I am pleased to see that your exam went well. Fingers crossed on the results. When do you find out how you have got on?

Your comments about the rider assessment made me laugh!

Sounds like you have set yourself some SMART goals for the coming month. Good luck and keep up the hard work. Do you have any graphs or visuals on your spreadsheet? I like that kind of thing because it helps me really see how much progress I am making - maybe something to consider (or maybe I am just a bit OTT!).

Hi MT,

Thank you so much for your post, it's you and everyone else sticking by me on here that's keeping me going. Id really recommend it if you're thinking of it! I'll look out for it and subscribe
I'm so pleased I've managed to help someone too. I've had so much help on here that I do try and post on other threads as much as I can. Certainly when I'm through this journey I hope to be able to pass on my wisdom!

Thank you and good luck, let me know if you do start a diary

Hello again!

Did you have a nice time down here in the south?! Thanks the big day is Jan 12th! Seems like ages away now!!!

Haha it was funny! Well the carrots worked he was a jem! And just to mix it up our assessor made us dismount halfway through and jump on the horse to the left (there were 6 of us altogether) so you didn't get too comfortable, my second horse was Infinity who is also an angel so had an enjoyable 2 rides!

Hehe Oh I wish you could see my spreadsheet! I have one line graph which shows my debt going down planned vs actual and I have a bar chart which shows the chunks being paid off! you're right it does really help see the progress when that blue line takes another plunge towards zero!

Hi LondonGirl

Well done on the exams! :T:T Must say I was true to my word and started my own diary although I am convinced it will not be as interesting as yours .

I am also contemplating on the £10.00 a day. I have a freezer full of meat that needs using so I think I could make it work although probably no NSD's. Just wondering if it might be a bit of a challenge with having DD to feed as well.

Will let you know how I get on.

I remembered to come back, albeit half asleep, and it looks as though you've had a productive day!

There's a piece of chocolate cake and some sausage rolls left if you're hungry?

Great, I will look you up!

Give it a go, its surprising how you realise you can live on a lot less than thought!

Morning all,

Gorgeous morning in the city today! Army boy received his birthday present yesterday - a help for heroes rugby ball - and was delighted him and his lads have something to throw around

Pay day today, no difference to me other than I will making a trip to the atm to withdraw all my daily cash for the next few weeks.

I added a new line to my spreadsheet which works out how much better off I am compared to when I first started this diary... so far £1,570.85 - this includes, money I have paid off debt and money that has gone into my sharesave etc

That might have to be a new graph in my ss so I can see that amount grow!
