    Sorry to hear about your job LMUD, at least you're in a better financial position then you were before this wonderful challenge began! Hopefully you wono't be in this situation for long.

    Is it too late to join your challenge? I think the 1% at a time is a brilliant idea.

    Recently had my LBM and it isn't pretty :o

    Little Miss Uni-Debt - After all you have done for us, someone will be watching over you I'm sure. You have always come across to me as someone who is positive, resourceful and "gets things done". You don't just talk about doing it, you do it. I'm certain you won't be without employment for long. Stay positive hun.

    My news is that I have managed to go sub-£300 on my Next Account this morning. Just transferred another 1% from not having wine again last night and I'm feeling good in so many ways.

    Thanks for giving me the motivation LMUD - What goes around, comes around!

    TMD - happytails has been missing longer than usual and her due date was last friday so fingers crossed it all went well. Tres excitment!!

    Got my 3% so checking in with 46% :) should be getting some expenses back from the job assessment i went too a couple of weeks ago so i will count that towards my debt as it was paid for out of last months wages and is technically 'leftover'. End of next week and ill be halfway there :D

    I've been Money Tipped!
    Hello everyone!

    Thank you all so much for your support and dodgy hugs too! It really cheered me up! It always blows me away just how lovely you all are! :p

    I'm a battle-axe when it comes to finding jobs, I'm hopeful for something similar but I know it may take a while so I'll be doing whatever I can in the mean time. Time to step it up!!! :D

    Looking forward to hearing from HappyTails and how she is getting on! Sending good thoughts and best wishes...

    Will be doing the thread update later today. Lots of fantastic progress from so many people!

    Have a lovely weekend everyone!

    Little Miss xx
