  • It's frustrating isn't it but keep going on the job front - I must've had five or six interviews before I finally got mine. It will happen and I'm guessing will mean you'll save £ on your commute so totally worth persevering(sp?).

    Plus...more free time to spend on the dfw forum :rotfl:Win-win!

    :jWoohoo it's payday/Friday....:j
    A bit of a shames it is "tipping it down" outside..

    Anyway this morning's update - I managed to get through the whole day without said dodger - think I may be over that addiction phew..:T
    Pay day today - So have made a little payment to my CC today, not loads..but I need to sit down at the weekend and work spends for the month..
    Another NSD yesterday. It would be today also, but I need to go to the post office and post some items i have sold:D Does the postage count? Especially if technically the customer paid for it not me?

    SCP- O-fcourse if a job gives me more time on MSE then really how could I refuse :D

    Have a good Friday - hopefully the sun will appear soon

    Morning Everyone..Well here is my update for Friday.

    1. OH closed CC down that was recently paid off :j
    2. Was an NSD day - that is 3 in a row :j
    3. Got another letter confirming a CC closed :j
    4. Made £12.49 in Amazon sales yesterday - which is weird as I have had stuff listed for ages and dropped the price to £0.01 below prices I had and they are starting to sell - Not complaining, but just shows you :j

    Today - Off to get hair coloured and cut - I look like about 100 with my grey hair sprouting everywhere. Sadly not with a student - But I have budgeted and it is my one luxury in life :D
    Off to a gym session shortly after that whilst OH takes goodies to post office :j
    Shopping and housework - then off to a friends party tonight. I am driving ( my turn) so no drinking for me..:j

    If I get time I may even add some ebay things if not that is what I plan for Sunday..

    Have a good day all xxx

    Morning - welcome to Monday and another start to the week of Aamberles debt reduction plan..:D.

    Well not much happened this weekend really will write down an update as I need to keep reminding myself that everything is going in the right direction ( downwards).

    So Sat did get my hair done, and now look almost my age again..although if you saw mw yesterday, you may have questioned it..:rotfl:Did not get home until 3am and was up by 8am too much to do. So wasn't the best for conversation yesterday ( although probably pleased OH).:D
    Also got finally my credit back from mortgage company ( apology of sorts) but it was a little more than expected so I have a £150.00 cheque to pop in the bank this week..and then put straight onto the debt..:T
    Had quite a few sales on Amazon over the weekend, so have another £25 or so that should be transferred next week to me - so already started for next weeks payments - need to get some in for this week:D
    It will be an NSD today which is a good start for the week too..
    Not that I am wishing my life away, but hopefully tomorrow all my credit report should update so all the closures for last month should start going through officially - which will be nice.:T

    All I need now is for the rain to stop and it will almost be a good day..
    Have a good day xx
