    Happy Friday everyone :)

    I was looking at my outstanding debt and going to have a mini goal of having loan at just under £2,000 by Christmas (I was going to aim for under £1,000 but focusing on overdraft to just tick it off as interest was workout to be £20 per month) and overdraft be down to about £300 by then. Works out paying debt worth of about just over £1,000 so gonna focus :P

    January I will be able to pay extra £100 and hopefully finish off the overdraft as council tax free month :)

    Anyway thats my mini target :)

    27 days until payday and 7 days until tax credit :) xx

    This week I am having a time of it. Been quiet on it on this but I just cant. My friend I found out has terminally ill cancer and 9-14 months to live. We originally were told it was kidney infection and slipped disc... its cancer in stomach, womb and spread to her bones. She is only 31 and two little kids its heartbraking.

    Then last night i go on fb and see my friend posting on pic of her n her bf saying eternal love which i thought was abit weird... until i saw he died last night. Words have failed me the boy was only 21.

    I also have huge guilt on me as the guy I have been seeing has not once text me from his hols even though hes been on fb. whats app numerous times and i have messaged him... I feel pathetic about feeling stressed and worked up over this considering.

    Just a bag of emotions. Sorry for unloading

    22 days until payday and 2 days until tax credit due xx
