Update:
Sorry I haven't stopped by with an update recently, but until payday there isn't much to report.
I am still logging on to the surveys everyday, and I will be adding more on to eBay.
I had to buy a couple of things yesterday such as make up, and i needed a warm jumper/coat so I bought a poncho style thing... I have nothing for casual or evening to keep me warm!
But I am going to keep my emergency fund at £300 this month, and add £300 to it every month so by April I will have my £1000'emergency fund. After that I am going to pay my £300's per month to my loan, unless I have to touch my emergency fund ... If I do I will have to replace it.
Feeling so positive about it all, and looking forward to seeing money left in my accounts incase things go wrong that always panicked me. I get a bonus In February pay check, and hopefully will hear about the job soon

Great news Laura, fingers crossed about the job, when will you know?
I treated myself to a new coat yesterday from Primarni, it should've been £28.00, and was reduced to £20.00. I love the coat, and have been lusting over it since well before Christmas. Mum made me buy it lol, and when I got to the til it had been reduced again to £10.00, I couldn't believe it and was so happy!! X0 -
What a bargain Maryland Cookie!! It would be wrong to not buy a coat for £10!
I treated myself a little over the weekend was feeling so down about wearing the same old scruffy clothes, but I used only the cash I had available to use, no credit card in sight!! I don't intend to buy anything now until I'm in America in March
I'm not sure when I will find out, hopefully within the next week as it was last Wednesday I had my last interview!!I will be sure to let you know when I hear

Well worth the purchase then I thinkI'm not the best person for advice on shopping especially for clothes that has been my downfall for many years and the main reason for all of my debt. £10 is amazing for a coat though.
I am trying to patiently wait... But it's hard as I'm not very patient. 😄Total debt to pay: £14,071.41/ Remaining debt: £12,884.12: Amount Paid: £1,187.29
