    Remember the MoneySaving mantras!

    IF YOU'RE SKINT......
    Do I need it? Can I afford it? Can I find it cheaper anywhere else?

    IF YOU'RE NOT SKINT......
    Will I use it? Is it worth it? Can I find it cheaper anywhere else?

    STATUS: EARLY APRIL 2007

    Thanks for the messages e1, here is the status for early April 2007:

    Pub job has finished, but I have managed to secure a part time in a school, right opposite my house! It does not pay too much, but the money is used for food and paying towards some utilites.

    I am awaiting payplan to get back to me.

    I didnt manage to secure any of the jobs I went for interviews in March.. but I do have 2 more lined up for end of April.

    The council tax and rent allowances have been sent to the respective offices, and am awaiting their decision.

    Sky are begging to take me back !! Hahaaaaa

    I have just secured my new bank account with the Halifax.. yeah!! Now at least all of my £500 salary will go into this account, without overdraft overspend being taken out and leaving me with less the £50.00 to live on for the month!

    Several items were sold in the local paper - again extra cash which paid for the latest water bill.

    I am doing the letters for my bank charges claim to send to Natwest.

    2 Car boot sales organised for April and May.

    More updates to follow!

    IF ANYONE IS READING THIS THREAD AND IS WORRIED ABOUT DEBT..PLEASE .. PLEASE, POST YR OWN THREAD, I WAS ON THE LOWEST EBB U CAN B, BUT WITH THE ENCOURAGEMENT OF SUCH WONDERFUL PEOPLE ON THIS SITE, I AM NOW IN A POSITION I NEVER THOUGHT POSSIBLE.
  • Congratulations! I've been reading this thread and I think you're doing really well.
