  • I have got loads to do. but did my money,

    I am going to Manchester tomorrow......... which is handy since I could do with getting away and seeing some genuine friends.

    I owe myself money for my savings plans.

    I also need to update my ISA book.

    Random thinking.

    Garden 850
    Gardener 150

    MA =1500

    Car =2000

    ISA (op) =2500

    total = 7000

    That is how much I borrowed - paid for MA, paid for garden. I do have 4500 in savings (although they are allocated really)

    Current debt stands at 4990 plus 552 on loan
    (CC =original loan amount plus my 990 over spend eek!)
    The loan will be paid off at the end of this month. and hopefully about 200 pounds off the CC.

    Once work finishes and I can sell stuff I will pay what ever I make on to the CC

    OO the extra money? was on clothes:o I did need them tho.

    And still need smart stuff for the new job.

    Am thinking aloud here.

    I could in theory pay it all off but then I would kinda have nothing - no car money or op money.

    I don't know. I have to say am getting freaked by the not having a job. So like the security of the savings.

    Just have to paid off the CC (0%) quickly.

    need to go do stuff

  • I'm off to Manchester too! Dreading the drive as its first day of the summer holidays and my car has no air con. Keep an eye out for a heavily sweating, frumpily dressed, overweight woman in a black Ford Ka, it'd be lovely to say hi!

    If your income is precarious then keep some savings to hand. There is always a risk that your credit lines could be cut off and then things would get very difficult. Always best to have something in reserve.

    Hope you have a lovely weekend. xx

    Hi Buffy - you said support and friendship welcome - so here is a boatload from me. Enjoy your Manchester trip - nice to have some genuine friends to have fun with. Don't get too drunk!
    I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)
  • Have tidied my room, cleaned out the animals and checked online banking. got to pack!

    Currently CC is £4986

    Loan is 552.01 but is scheduled to be paid Tuesday.

    I may still owe interest on that - I don't gain from paying it off aside it not bugging me.

    I do really want it gone.

    also need to sort out what work I am taking with me

    catch you all tomorrow

    xxxxxxxx
