Afternoon
Ok, very little change in my purse today (thank all the NSD's) but I have found and old Money box (in my Ebay rummagings) which has the grand total of £1.09 in 2p and 1p's so I'm adding that in stead.
Off to update my sig with the new figures

Evening all
Well another busy day nearly over.
Just need to iron and make lunch for tomorrow.
3 of my ebay sales have watchers (1 has 6
) but still no bids
It's going to be very exciting if someone makes the move :rotfl: struggling with the app as I can't remember my password (luckily it's autosaved into my laptop) so may not be able to follow at work tomorrow :eek:
No Mr IT news, haven't spoken to him today.
Oh and sig is full updated with all the current figures.... I HATE interest, it makes it look like I'm barely paying anything off
Still it is coming down which is all that matters :T Total at 9th Feb 12 - £17,500 :eek: Now - £6,851.05Loan - £6022.05, [STRIKE]Card 1 - £3293.85,[/STRIKE] [STRIKE]Card 2 - £2287.04[/STRIKE], Sofa - £825.00Wedding Pot - £0.00

Evening again.
Feeling a bit pants
I've been having a look at my accounts and I can't really afford to go out on Tuesday so I've texted my friend and cancelled.
I have that fear feeling in my stomach again, I know it will pass and everything will be ok, but it's crept up on me a little this evening. I've even had a look at the CCCS website, but I don't think I really need to go down that route.
I also have a invite to a birthday at the end of the month, I might cancel. Even if I drive it won't be a cheap night and spending money isn't going to help me.
At the moment if I don't spend anything else I'll make it to the end of the month with about £6 in my account :eek:, ok I will have the change pot money to pay in, so it might be more like £10 :rotfl:
ok, getting it all off my chest does help. I am wondering if it is worth speaking to my bank about the interest on the credit card, but I'm not sure if that would actually help. And I'm worried it would make it worse by speaking to them.
I really wish I didn't over think things
I have a tendancy to panic and over react 
It's ok, everything will be ok. I think I need to make this my mantra

aha another over thinker, bet you analyse stuff and situations to death as well don't you! you and me both.
it is very scary to thinking of the debt and how much will be left at the end of the month when you never used to consider it before and just merrily spend. maybe you can talk your friend into coming over to see you so that you can catch up but not spend money.
interest is a killer but don't think any bank will consider stopping it unless you enter into an agreement with the likes of CCCS and then that's not guarenteed. Plus if you don't absolutely need to use their services then it's best not to as it will mess up your credit rating etc (just my personal opinion so feel free to ignore)0 -
Thanks LT
I'm ok, I just freak myself out sometimes
. But today is another day, and another NSD at that 
I'm a bit tired as I tossed and turned a lot in the night. I slept but apparently not very well
Just about to get ready for work, so I will update again later before popping over to a friends house this evening.

Evening
Well another NSD here today... and I actually made 50p
I've given a work colleague some cold and flu tablets. Does that make me a drug dealer :eek::rotfl:
I have 2 items with bids on Ebay
I'll admit that the figures aren't going to stop world debt, but everyone has to start somewhere. And I have watchers and 5 days to go... Pray for a bidding war 
Feeling in a much better mood today, and it has nothing to do with the message of kisses I had from MR IT at bedtime :A
Off for dinner at a friends tonight, having homemade stew, yummy.
speak to you all later
