Desperate To Be Debt Free

Hey greensaints, just wanted to pop by and say well done for keeping in the black! That's a brilliant feat for this time of year especially

Good news on the weight loss too - I really struggle at this time of year, I think my body wants to go into hibernation and craves fatty, sweet and delicious food all day long!

Hi Mildredalien

Thanks for the post

It was a real struggle. This month is going to be tough, but I'm hoping after next Friday I won't be driving for a few weeks so that'll save me some money. I'm on my course the first two weeks of January, but I'm hoping my boyfriend will let me car share (as it's 4 miles from his work. I've paid for a hotel as I'd rather not get distracted and waste time in the car, when I could be studying) so that was a big expense, but I hope it'll pay off (no pun intended!)

Also, when I've finished my course, it's pay day so that's handy! I have about £77 of (more) expenses too that will help and hopefully some MS payments. I'd like to pay another £150 off my Barclaycard before next payday, but I'll see how much money I have in January before making that commitment!

The only thing that is keeping me going with my weight loss is that jacket! It will be mine, oh yes, it will be mine!

It must be one amazing jacket! There's not much that will keep me away from the caramel fudge I have in my house

GreenSaints

Oh, it is!

Just keep focusing on it. I have a picture of it in my purse!

Oh ****! I've done some miscalculations with my salary.

Basically I have £40 to last me till next pay day which is the 15th January! :eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek:

I don't know what I did and I don't know how I'm going to cope!

Will keep you posted.....Can you lend me some money?!

Hi GreenSaints

*personal note before I begin, I am starting to feel like I am just following Dolly Rocker around this site... stalker alert *

First off, congratulations on clearing off such a huge chunk of your debt (over 8k! You should feel very pleased with yourself!)

Secondly, miscalculating is the worst! So sorry to hear that you only have £40 more until January 15th. How much money do you think that you'll need?

Good luck, hope you can sort something out!

Hi CuppyCake

Thanks for your post

I don't know what happened! I think I thought I had £350 left but paid for a hotel in January so that's practically gone! Damn my miscalculations!

My survival tactic is that I'm expecting a bit of money from MS (circa £79) in the next few days. Other than that - I'm going to have to just do my best and keep and eye on my account. I'm not paying OD fees again!

Oh - and take a look at my earlier posts and see the cupcakes I decorated. Super proud of myself
