Thanks both.
I have cupasoups in my drawer and I went out and got some bread so its not too bad.
I just think its gonna be one of those days where I feel totally sorry for myself.Total: £50,676 £0 🥳 The journey to debt freedom0 -
I must get better at doing my diary!!
:j:jPayday today :j:j boy has that been a long time coming!! I'm now poor again because Ive had to pay for rent x2, a deposit and agency fees, but... that does mean I have a nice place to live now! No more paying for storage, no more living with four (nice but smelly) blokes and Ive saved myself at least £50 in rent.. Not to mention its in a nicer area!
Ive made all my monthly repayments (just over the minimum for each) so my total's gone down instead of up :rotfl:
Now I just need to get myself into the new place and settled in before the real work of paying the debt starts.
Its such a nice feeling knowing I'll be starting the new year in a nice place with my best friends. I think I'll be in a much better position mentally as well as financially come 2013.
Just need to get the love life sorted and then I'll be back on top.. one step at a time though right?!
I've just scoffed a chocolate bar. I think the sugars gone to my head! Hahaha! xxTotal: £50,676 £0 🥳 The journey to debt freedom0 -

Hello all, my MSE is obviously playing up because it neglected to tell me anyone had posted in my diary!
Not moved in yet, but I get the keys tomorrow:j
I've had a bit of a horrible week if I'm honestso I will be glad to get my keys and start moving out. 2012 has been a rubbish year for me so I'm determined to have a good christmas with my friends and family and then start 2013 happy and ready to be DF and back to my usual happy Pencakes self.
I really will promise to pull my finger out and come on here more often, it always makes me feel better when I do!

Thanks HAW.
I'm very good at keeping myself to myself and trying to deal with things on my own. Or should I say Im very good at forgetting that old saying about a problem shared is a problem halved..or something!
To cut a long story short, I was offered my dream job...but it was all a scam by a very weird man who likes to take advantage of young women. The lengths he went to to convince me he was real were scary, but thankfully I had friends in the industry who found out the truth before anything really bad happened. The whole thing has left me feeling very sick, angry and sad. But I am determined to not let it get to me anymore.
2013 is the year I'm due to be debt and default free so lets hope I can build on that
