Morning A

Good on you girl - sounds like you have all your bases covered , so at least you are prepared whatever happens.
Also sounds like you have a busy Christmas break planned ! Make sure you take some time to chill out though , you deserve a break from it all
It's a little warmer here today though not much ! Friday tomorrow so nearly the weekend :T
Hope you have a good day.

Morning All and welcome to Monday. A lot warmer here than it has been in recent Mondays..phew..but still cold.
So a quick update from me - still on the chopping block - I reckon it will be this week I find out. All the team above me were "organised" last week and imagine that none of them left - I cant say too much as you never know who is reading, but they got about 20 minutes notice - so I am expecting my level this week for some "organising. First thing I do when I get in the office, is clear all my personal stuff out without making it look like i am:D I needed to do it anyway and usually do it on Xmas Eve as there is never anyone in really - but hey at least i am ahead of schedule of that :rotfl:..I have also contacted a few people I know to put the feelers out so to speak, and there may be one or two opps that may appear...That is about all i can do on that front really - The hardest thing for me is keeping morale going. Not easy i can tell you.
Anyway on more interesting news I have done it!!!!!:j:j:j I have got to the 34's ...Had some more minimum payments come out and DH gave me £50 so i could finish off presents, but as i had already done them cha ching on my CC it went
:D. I feel very happy about this,so while my professional world is crumbling around me, I am still keeping the walls strong around the personal me..he he.
Anyway must dash - work awaits Have a good day xx2012 The year I started dealing with my debts.
2017. Lets start this again shall we?

Did you get any job news today? Well done on getting under the next £'000, to make it through Christmas without adding to the debt is a huge acheivment!!

So morning all and welcome to Tuesday :j. so not a lot to report really, got though the day with no call in fact it was a very quiet day and that makes everything seem very eerie..:D On a plus side, i have managed to clear out about 3/4 of my desk and will complete the rest today:T.
As you can imagine rumours running around the place like craziness - the latest is all the organising has been done - but until we get through to Christmas I want believe this.So only 4 days left and then I can breathe a sigh of relief until the New Year ..So my plan for next few days is keep my head down, and just get on - seems like the best bit. Shame it is not busier as when its busy you get less time to think about it..but hey we are where we are..
Anyway on MSE front - an NSD yesterday. Have made lunch for today, so should be the same today..still a little shocked at hitting the 34's.If I stay as focussed for next year I should be low 20's which to be honest is very depressing..as it means it still feels like a zillion years until we are free..so not going to dwell on that now.
Nope going to look at how far I have come, and see if i can have a LBM on how to clear 34 in a year - yes that should keep me busy..I think even my ebay focus could not manage that :rotfl:So I will keep doing what I am doing and pick one debt at a time and work my way through it...so plans on how to raise £500 please as that is all that will be left after my expenses are paid back next week..
Anyway enough rambling - have a great day xx2012 The year I started dealing with my debts.

Fingers still crossed for you Aamberle, lets hope all the organizing has been done.
I think you are right about focusing on one debt at a time, it helps to have smaller targets, and to work on those first.
Well done on the NSD :T
