Hi Blaine,

Natwest Loan - £12199.51

That was in April this year.
Now things have not gone the way I planned over the past few months and I am now determined to get back on it. So this is my new totals that I owe.
Gap Cover £232.64
Parts account at work - £0 - PAID OFF
Personal account at work - £530.48
Littlewoods - £300
Mam - £1360.94
Black Horse car finance - £10239.18
Natwest Loan - £11521.92
Total Debt - £24185.16
The amount has came down but not as much as I would like ideally. So Back on it from today. I will try and do a daily update of what I have or haven't spent if it's not going to bore you all haha.0 -
Off to a good start today. Never bought anything from the cafe at work, usually a very hard thing to resist! Need to keep it up though and that will be the difficult thing to resist all of them chocolates haha.
I did need to put some fuel in the car today so I have spent the grand total of £10!
That fuel will probably last me at least a week so I guess it is not to bad. I am trying to think of ways to improve my career prospects at the minute but everything is so expensive.
Will update again tomorrow. Sorry if I bore anybody.0
