The "Pay ALL your debt off by Xmas 2012" challenge - PART 2!!!

recurrent-ostrich

Debt update -crap really. Have had to get the kids some new clothes as they'd outgrown everything and as had no spare cash, had to use Next book. :mad: Am REALLY cross with myself, but it's done now so I have to move on.

On the upside though, my weight loss is now:
#049 14/42 :j:j:j I've lost a stone! Woohoo!

Edit: debt update anyway, #049 2545.57/10,000 25.45%

How did your appraisal go Jemma or have I missed it by not reading far enough back?
We got a bit of good news today we are eligible for council tax benefit so will be £90 a month better off, guess what I'm gonna do with it?

Yes how was the review Jemma?

Congratulations Fallen, did you give in and call them in the end? Or did you wait it out like a child waiting for father christmas?

I was on customer site today, so I left the house at 6.30 but got back at 16.30 just in time for come dine and 4 in a bed I put £25 in the car, which took me to half tank, I arrived home with 3/8 tank left I get 25p/mile and did about 100 miles, so I come out on top today even taking into consideration I bought my lunch whoop whoop.

got totally over excited today when I went to pick miss lily up from nursery. They have incubators and 10 eggs, 5 had already hatched and one had a deep crack down the side, I refused to leave and 20 minutes later out came the baby chick

Ive never seen anything be born (I may have had 2 kids but I never saw the business end :rotfl:) so I was totally thrilled

I was my best friend's birth partner for her HBAC (home birth after caesarean) in November. Most. Amazing. Thing. I have ever seen another human being do. I have close-up, documentary photographs of the whole thing, too (at her request).

I called lunchtime today (he said it would be done yesterday) but then I waited until they called me at 4.10pm :P

edit: In MSE news I just bought a ballgown from one of my friends for £35 so that's this years company function outfit sorted. Dark green too so black shoes and a black bag will be fine

Oh I'm so happy for you fallenwiccan!!! :T:T:T

Jakes-mum, we had incubators with chicks when I was in primary school and then after watching them hatch, we looked after them for a few weeks before they were taken to a farm. We even got to see them in their new home! I've probably eaten them or their descendants since but it was lovely to look after the eggs then watch them hatch.

My appraisal is actually tomorrow morning guys so I've been trying to rack my brain about what to put in it as we have to prove how we've conformed to our company's values, I'm fine with the continuous improvement etc but I need to give examples of where I've been vibrant! Do you think they mean when I wore that brightly coloured skirt the other day...? :rotfl: I'm guessing I need to give examples of being creative, going the extra mile, being enthusiastic etc etc etc... yawn! This is probably going to take a while... Oh well, after it's done then I'll know where I stand and I can actually relax and get my head back into debt busting (and updating this thread - I'm so sorry guys for being so carp recently but I've been working late nearly every night )
