Morning All, Hope we are all well! Not much to report really been very busy organising other areas of my life just in case...:o.
So finally have been called to a meeting today - but we shall see if it actually happens, I have managed to keep my head down for the last 6 weeks I suppose... anyway will update everyone later if there is in fact anything to report :rotfl:
On MSE front - great news my smallest CC WILL definately be gone at the end of the month. Received a cheque yesterday from my very last PPi claim ( I had forgotten about it to be honest) anyway there is enough to pay off the balance - which is good, as that is another one down..:j:j
Anyway hope you all have a great day xx

Morning All, and welcome to Monday. All very pretty and white this morning. So things are ok in the household..Managed to pay off another £100 off the CC this weekend - which means only another £380 and the small CC is gone :j:j. Which will be nice as I really still am unsure about my future ( if you get what I mean) had a meeting that really was not filling me with hope, but I did ask directly and they have no plans to get rid - although I am not so sure..long story and you never know who reads these things :rotfl: Anyway onwards and upwards - I need to keep the pressure on to clear these just in case - but i also am being very sensible and having a look around again just in case - All very coded i know but at this time I really cannot afford to upset the apple cart so to speak...

DH made me carrot soup for week yesterday - as he is away all week, and I do not tend to cook if he is not here - bless him. So very MSE as we already had the carrots - so actually do not think I spent a thing over the weekend. Need to list a few more things on ebay this week and get this earning pennies back on track...

Have a great day xx

Well looks like the UK made it through another worst weather in a zillion years - the ice age has not taken us quite yet :rotfl:. Although it is cole this morning brrrrrr.

Anyway hope you are all well! Not much to report for yesterday, paid another little bit off a CC ( but that was minimum payment) BUT it is still a payment down that's the way I see it.Still have not really got myself pushed on the ebay stuff - I know I need to do it, but i seem to be able to find anything to do but that! It is really weird, I was all over it last year and this year I just cant seem to get it going...:o Still reading and reading everyones diaries - that keeps me on the straight and narrow - they are all inspirational.
Anyway must dash a deicing of a car is calling me...

Have a great Day xx

Morning All and its Thursday..so near yet so far to the weekend.

So have had a few sales on ebay this week ( yes I finally listed some items) and have also managed a few more little payments to my CC. I cant wait until tomorrow, as cheque clears and I can finally close another CC off once and for all.:j Not bad at all when you think we are still in January and it's not even pay day.
After that the next one is not so small, but hopefully get my very last bonus ever ( all taken away with recent work changes) and so I should be able to take a couple of hundred off the balance, if they pay me it that is..still in discussion..so I think a rough guesstimate is that I need to find £2k ish and that will be clear. Definately no hanging around not listing things - these debts need to go and sooner rather than later.
Did that snowball calculator last night and it says I have 28 months until I am debt free - Not a chance! At the very latest my plan is by Christmas 2014. If I was really lucky then clearly it would be this year :rotfl: but hey other than winning the lottery ( which I dont play as every £ needs to go on my debt) or I manage to get a job with a bigger salary and I can walk to work - again more chance of the lottery win,then i think end of 2014 is doable..all being well.
But as we know life is a joyous roller coaster of events, so whilst that is my goal, as long as it's coming down and not going up we are all good.
Although now in my head I am rich as my car lease finishes then too..wow we would be richer than rich...cha ching!
Anyway on that note, better get off to work.

Have a great Day x
