Just treated myself to a book for keeping on track this month (even paid my rent early - that's a first!) used my swagbucks points so didn't cost a penny - Thanks Jakes-mum :beer:

*rant alert*

How is it possible to give me more work??!!! My prior boss has just come out of a meeting and given me a load of analysis to look at for the customer for the end of this week, firing questions at me and eating ALL my grapes... (actually he left me 6 grapes out of a full punnet...). My boss then comes out of the same meeting and has pimped my services out to another division of the business to do analysis on hundreds of rates AND then told me that I need to do analysis on 2 other contracts to look for synergies with routing our customers product and the cost implications on doing it this way... I am in Month End, I have just come out of Year End, I have too much to do already and now i get at least 2-3months worth of work more than my normal job. Oh and I have to go on stupid course taking 2 days out of the business... boring!

I know I've been on here a lot recently but it's more that I've been doing my old trick of burying my head in the sand and not admitting quite how much work I have to do. I'm so scared of getting dragged back into doing stupid hours at work and getting ill again... I've just been trying to ignore it but I think I need to face it and say "NO".

That totally sucks Jemma! I would defo recommend the Just Say No technique, you really don't want to make yourself sick again.

As for the great weight debate, I've not had kids so can only relay my mum's experiences. She was skinny as anything after the 2 children in her early 20s, but has struggled with her weight since the 3 kids in her late 20s, early 30s. She says it was having a boy which messed her up!

Also, in rather exciting news I have just been given free tickets to go watch the Scotland - England rugby in Edinburgh on Saturday. Will be splitting the petrol with the boy and staying with family, so it should only cost £40 for the weekend, plus drinks while we're out.

Hello all DFW's..
velvet27 calling in with £100 to pay off debt. Have been busy busy busy and not had time to catch up with posts but hope everyone is doing ok!


Sold a couple of items on ebay and may try again soon. It's great to see everyone reducing debts especially at this time of year - well done one and all

jakes-mum

ok in true mini challenge style i have listed . . . wait for it . . . 3 items on ebay :rotfl: and even remembered to do the scheduled listing thing so I can set them live tonight or tomorrow night (might do tomorrow night for 10 days so it ends next sunday )

Hello everyone, can I joint the challenge? I have been trying to pay off this debt for the last 5 years but every time I get it down to around £3k, it somehow bounces back up again. :mad: Also, the jan tax bill was far more than anticipated so we have an overdraft too.
Even if I don't pay it all off I think I'm going to enjoy watching the thread, loved the baby weight remarks! :rotfl:
So I owe Virgin £5701.30 with an overdraft at 1st feb of £408.64.
