How is it possible to give me more work??!!! [ ........ ] 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's really cr4p. But it seems like you have the answer right there yourself .....but it's not easy to say no even when you recognise you have to I've been in a similar boat and you cope and you cope a bit more until you have to sit them down and say actually, I can't do this because of A, B and C so we need to find an alternate solution or re-jig some things! .... Its not worth making yourself ill trying to do everything they throw at you but while you don't say anything they just think everything in the garden is rosy.

I hope you manage to sort it. And if you've got all those figures to do for work when are you going to find time to do all of ours as well

Hoorah have had total updated to 18.54% - looks great in print :A thanks Jemma.

A shiney new first of the month to renew all those debt busting ways! Better start by reading all the posts made since last night

.......which will take you until tomorrow, thus negating any chance of spending money. Then all day tomorrow you can read tonights posts, and so on for the whole month. By which time you'll be a stone lighter and won't have spent any money, which is just how this thread works, y'see? It's pure genius. :rotfl:

Eeeeeeeeee cannot believe our January total!! These banks aren't going to be too happy this time next year when their bonuses shrink are they?!

Have made a payment of £85 today thanks to an ebay buyer paying up (woohoo!) and taking back some clothes which really did NOTHING for me (never used to bother in the past, but don't need any more stuff to be ebaying in the future!!) so my total now stands at:

#89. £1225/£1550 86.13%

I *could* actually clear my card today - but not sure how well fed I'd be for the next month and if anything last minute pops up I'd be knackered but I'm so close now I can taste it!! :EasterBun

Oooh and has everyone seen this week's MSE newsletter thing already? You can get a free £5 to spend on a gift card website (think funky pigeon/moonpig without the irritating theme tune) so have ordered my Mother's Day card off there and saved some pennies!!
