Hi Buffy

Not quite the decision I was expecting - I thought you might be moving in with your lovely man! However, good decision considering it's your job that's making you unhappy! Very brave but I bet you're relieved now you've made up your mind.

Hooray! Another teaching friend of mine has come to the very same decision. Sometimes a change can make the world of difference. Best of luck with whatever comes next and so glad to hear things are fab with the man!

That's brilliant - we've been mates on here for a long time. I know how much you have battled and fought to make work work for you. I really do hope that this leads to lots of doors opening for you. You truly do deserve it.

Lovely to hear about the OH too - I like him too (because you seem so happy about him!).

Will you carry on with the second job or are you looking for a completely new career?

signing off for now with a big goofy grin on my face...

Oh you lot are just fab frankly.

Lovely lovely people in the world.

Just some money stuff. Copied from the May thread.

Grrrr. Just wrote a post and lost it.

Summary

1. I borrowed 7000 pounds to pay for

Masters - due now
Car - ???? needed as my lovely car is on his last legs. Oh I love him tho.
Garden - being done in May.
Dentist/private medical stuff. - decided to NHS it for the most part.

2. Current debt stands at £5592

3. June's payment will be £500.

4. Balance transfer= £4167.

5. Amount of loan left will be £1592 (£167= bt fee)

6. Now I could pay it off with some of the money left from not paying for the medical stuff. It is the logical thing to do. It would mean I would have a debt of around 4000. Lose me the option of paying for private treatment tho.

I do have other CCs with BT or 0% deals.


so will continue to think out loud.

thoughts welcome.

Buffy, I am a long-time lurker who posted on your diary two or three years ago (I don't know whether you'll remember but I am also a teacher who sympathised with your situation). I just wanted to congratulate you on a brave but BRILLIANT decision you have made!! I am so pleased for you! You seem to have had such a rough couple of years and I hope the new man and this turning point are going to be the start of an amazing future for you! One life and all that!

How exciting!

I do remember you! How are you doing?

Thank you so much for posting. I cannot believe how supportive people have been.

It feels very strange.

but good. Still very very good.

You know those nights when you have figures going round your head over and over and over.

I can't do any thing tonight.

just do the sums.

glad about Wigan. should go to bed. Cannot believe it is almost 12!

I think I shall pay off the loan with the BT and some of the money I was going to use. I will have money - am still getting paid till August.

would ideally like to have a debt of about 3000 by the time I leave my job.

also need to do a PPI claim so think I shall go and investigate that.

Hi Buffy

Great news! Your job sounded horrendous. I'm so glad you're out of there - onwards and upwards...

Sorry I have somehow managed to report someone's post as spam by mistake!!!! Think it's yours Buffy - damned iPad. Only hovered my finger on screen. Don't know how to undo this!

Aside from this horror - I'm glad you're coming to some decisions and making plans. Hope everything works out for you.
