    Hey diary!!!

    Nothing huge to update, I am hanging on for dear life till payday, should be just about able to make it.
    I had my eyes tested last week and needed glasses for driving so a nun-expected expense for me. But paid it all without borrowing.

    Waiting till payday so I can add to my emergency fund again, can't wait for it to get to £1000 so I can start to really attack my loan.
    Hoping a bonus will be there in feb so will pay that to my loan :)

    Still doing surveys everyday to add to my emergency fund!

    Plan is that me and OH are going to move in together in July so want to be as financially stable as possible.

    Still waiting to hear about my job, I hate being patient.

    Hey Diary,

    Not a huge amount to report, trying to spend next to nothing until payday... Not that easy when OH wants me to pay half towards valentines meal next week, is it just me or is that harsh....

    1 week Wednesday and I can relax a little on the spending front but not much as need to start to overpay my loan and get rid of some debt. :)

  • To be honest me and OH don't bother these days with cards or pressies at Christmas or Valentines, we do however for birthdays! I would do, but OH isn't bothered so we save our money!

    I'm desperate for pay day too, 25th and counting for me!

    My friends away at the minute and I've got her two guinea pigs, ahhhh they are so cute! I was having breakfast this morning, and when they heard the cereal packet rattle, you should have heard then squeak, they are so vocal!!

    When do you start your new job? XxX
