nje 24- yep I agree about the charity thing- and I am helping myself from now on. Make no mistake - Quitting the job was tough decision, walking away from monthly income especially in current economic situation is TERRIFYING. But I will be ok. And I will pay off all our debts.CC nr1 (23%) £2,389.04:eek: £2492.04 after vet

Today little bit better - less sweets (still some!) less crying and panicking,
applied for 2 jobs so far and did spend very little (75 p on mints and chewing sweets- completely justified as my neighbour in work develop massive BO problem...). Still have to put petrol in :mad: to be able to go to this super stupid place of employment. Cannot wait till my last day - as well as dreading it at the same time.CC nr1 (23%) £2,389.04:eek: £2492.04 after vet3,426.31 after holiday!!!!!!!!!!!!!![STRIKE] £3,974.35[/STRIKE]:eek::( £3,716.59 CC nr2 (0%) [STRIKE]£3228.16 £3225.95 [/STRIKE][FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][SIZE=-1]£3193.70[/SIZE][/FONT] :(OVD:[STRIKE]-£998[/STRIKE]-[STRIKE]£330.08[/STRIKE][STRIKE] -£288[/STRIKE]-£702.24 M&D Bank £[STRIKE]9000[/STRIKE][STRIKE]£8800[/STRIKE]8200:eek:0 -
well my friendly people - I finally am in better mood today, I ate less chocolate and did not waste any money- went some grocery shopping in Lidl ( Madly in Love Lidl and Aldi too- could serenade them...) and spent under £19 for quite a few items. More at peace with my decision to leave work now - ( at least at the moment!
