Job on the line. Debt must go!

Hello all

Just to say that I am still being a good MSE and had another NSD! 9 for August. Very proud. I might have spent more than I was planning this month but I honestly do not feel I have wasted anything.

I also found out today that I will be getting a council tax refund from my old house. It takes 10 days and only £60 but still exciting stuff!!

Hope you are all good I am trying to catch up on everyone's diaries so please comment and let me know if I have missed yours!

Good morning all

Had a lovely weekend, hope you all did too.

Great news yesterday one of my bridesmaids got engaged! Amazing news So happy planning away although if I am a bridesmaid (she hasnt asked yet!!) I have SO much weight to shift.

I ordered some new glasses today too, 2 pairs for £45.95 reduced from £175.95 think that is acceptable!

Busy week at work but hopefully more debt busting...

Hope you are all good x

hi all!

i just made £100 on my lunch break with market research! AMAZING its paid via cheque so I will do that on my lunch break tomorrow but so chuffed with myself. Dead happy and hope that it will help me pay off every single one of my catalogues by end of October!

This is amazing and I hope I can now move forward on my debt free journey xxx

Hi *waves* thanks for saying hi!

Yes burns are better now, its been nearly 7 weeks and they will scar but hopefully not too badly!

It most certainly is a rollacoster, and its very strange to think unlike some people I will literally be fired from my role if I can't pay back debt at the agreed rate! I want to though, and am striding along nicely.

this morning I paid off my halifax overdraft. Felt SO good. At only £200 and costing me £29-31 a month thats a scary £365 a year! Mental. It wasn't until I started MSE that I realised how awful this truly is.

Next up, I have got my 10 catalogues down to 3!! Just wish SO much that I hadnt been defaulted on a tiny £261 debt. SO gutted about that and hope in the future it doesn't affect my chances of a mortgage. Not that this will be for a while but still, a whole 6 years. Until Jan 2019, when it should just pop off. :T

DH is struggling with money at the moment. I earn more than him and he can't cope with not being the main breadwinner! I keep telling him that I love my job work hard etc but as he is in retail and has been since he graduated its difficult to move out.

However, its likely he will get a rather lovely bonus this October, and that should help pay off some of his debt.

He has c£4k on his B.card, £1k on another and a loan:eek:. Sometimes I jsut wish we could magic it away!

Anyhow, I hope everyone is good?? HAVE A GREAT DAY!! x

Such a shame, we have only been married 4 months but already DH is being a bit of a pain. He is making life difficult as I am working such long hours and stuff and stressing me out with his behaviour at home.

I thought he would be proud of me, but it seems he is jealous.

Never mind need to work through this but cant see how at the moment. x

Right all, back on the MSE train! I am loving it. Paying off SO much I am very happy. It just makes such a difference paying off debt and reducing the companies I owe money too. Feeling very positive about it all.

Hope you all had a great weekend! x

Just catching up with you Sparky, hope you and DH have had a good weekend and worked things out. Xx

hello all!

An update for you. DH apologised and said sorry. He is just jealous of who I doing in my job and that we want a family but just cant think about babies at the moment.

Also, I got £200 in compensation from my old landlord!! And I have spent it. Ooops! But I needed a new smart handbag for work and got a complete bargain a gorgeous mulberry for £200. I know I could have paid off debt etc and I do want to but I really needed a treat and as it was money I never had, I kinda think why not?!

I have my mum and bros coming over for a BBQ. Not very MSE but I saved loads by going home last weekend and coming home laden down with goodies so its nice to return the favour.

Hope you are all good x

Yay to DH apologising and eeek to £200 on a handbag :eek:! If it makes you happy though that's the main thing.
