    SO Freaking tired.


    but got paid (not much more than old job)


    however if I got debt free it would be fine.


    paid my spends card (union fees and new glasses - 3 yrs over due, 50 quid on clothes. v needed. have a boot ful for cs and petrol) was 467 :(


    it is going to be tight but doable.


    work is exhausting.


    isa = 2000 (text rebate)
    Aug = 800


    In few days the savings and what not will be paid off.


    Current debt = 3500.


    It is !!!!ing me off now!


    hope all is well with everyone.

    Hope you had a good night out and are not too hungover today. How's the 100 day challenge going?

    The night out was excellent, a real laugh with a very good friend. I was ok when I woke up but as the day has progressed I have felt terrible - period pains and I guess a mild hangover. Been asleep for much of the afternoon. Mum and I went to my Nan and Grandad's grave this morning tho so have done something useful.


    Feel all over the show now. Fluey? Is that even a word?


    am toying with just paying off my debt with my savings.


    Pros - I would be debt free.

    Cons - no emergency cash, no new laptop, loss of interest, finish the year really skint.

    I think maybe slow and steady is the way forward. oddly tempting tho.


    God I feel rough.

    The way to look at is that you are debt neutral.
    Keep plodding!

    Ah Beanie that is so true. I shall hang on to savings. hard won and since the CC is interest free silly to lose.


    I am just impatient. I sort of feel like I am rearranging chairs on the titanic. really not happy tonight.


    suppose am just feeling rough. Back to work tomorrow.
