Hello all hope you all had a fab new year.... I had a good evening with my best friend but now have flu which is crap as I feel utterly vile....
As regards to the money situatuion still as rubbish as ever but slowly keeping going with things... Get my student loan on 7th so at least thats something I know I will have, worried about the situation at work as only on temp contracts and they may keep us on however now christmas is over the over time will run out. I might be able to get over time on another department if I get kept on but who knows... anyway off to work some more spends out.

Well it's another day of feeling ill for me never felt as ill as this in a long time, doesn't help I'm off work and missing out on overtime won't get sick pay either so my bumper pay packet will probably just be an average one.
Sis has just informed me she's gone over her limit on her account so is being ccharged £5 a day by halifax coz they won't give her an overdraft.. I'm in my overdraft with no money to spare, car needs a new exhaust so that will have to come out of my student loan which I get on Monday but I need to save that to pay my bills...
I've got exams coming up and I've not done any revison coz I've been working and now I'm ill can't cope with this all... just want to go back to having a full time job and some stabillity making myself ill...........

Hello all not posted for a little while as not had much to say... I've been thinking a great deal lately as I sort of strayed off track (didn't go crazy and spend loads just haven't been trying as hard) but I know this debt weighs heavy on my mind and I need to get rid ASAP.
I hate living here the house, I hate the fact I see my landlord driving round in his big car while we live in this freezing mouldy house.. So the plan is to blast this debt and start saving for a place of our own..
I am feeling alot more positive lately..

Hi :wave:
Sorry I haven't posted in a while
Hope things for 2013 improve for you! It didn't get off to the best start but onwards and upwards!!
You seem to have organised all your money in a way that will help you keep a track of your spending. In turn helping you to clear your debt. Overall getting you out of that house!! :jWealth is what you're left with when all your money runs out0 -
Hello HAW,
Hope your well?
Well I visited Ald! today for the first time ever (working for Mr Ts I feel like a trator haha) and wow saved so much money (Went armed with list - how organised) and got a full trolly load for £89 so very impressed!
Also got paid today and got £300 over time so that will pay some debts with and fix my car.
Sister has an interview in a few week for another job.. So glad she's got an interview as it's a step up the ladder and she'll be amazing at it plus it will be around £300 extra a month which will help loads.
Hope your all well,

So paid off my friend her £200 and over paid on the CC so that takes my debt down to £1558.
Just off to put some stuff on Ebay which will all go to pay off the credit card.

Hello all,
I've had some bad news and have had my overtime stopped at work
This was topping up my wages massively as I'm only contracted to 6 hours a week, so will have to find something else to keep me going.
I've also decided to take the overdraft off of my debt total as I've got this for 2 more years so seems pointless worrying about it now as I just need to get the CC and my friends Mum paid off.
Got a letter from HMRC so they will be taking extra off my wages for their mess up over my tax refund..
Still feeling good about things tho... studying hard and things will get better..
