Hey diary!
Tuesday, Tuesday, Tuesday! Woohoo!
Money came in this morning, unfortunately half of its gone already on bills
Driving lesson this morning, if it had been an actual test I'd have failed :rotfl: it turns out getting past parked cars is my achilles heel
My birthday is coming up and all my workmates seem to have forgotten (same thing happens every year) so I dropped a few subtle hints (may not have been too subtle though) but don't think it will achieve anything
Oh well, at least the important people rememberHistoric Debt August 2009 = £63,600 10th March 2017 = £0 100% paid all gone!
Mortgage started June 2015 = £170,000 January 2022 = £134,000
Saving for Xmas 2022= . . Amazon £55

Hey Abba
I did receive my vouchers, ended up as £70 worth of stuff and £50 in vouchers which was still fab (competition was free to enter), the vouchers have gone into my Xmas fund
I suck at parallel parking too, that seems to be the worst of my manoeuvres :rotfl:

Hello diary
Well my birthday had good and bad points.
Had a lovely meal out with DH and went looking for shiny new cars.
Ended up sulking in the evening as no card from my work colleagues, just a card with names in it would have been nice
I'm probably being unreasonablejust being a grumpy old sod who's getting older :rotfl:

Not looking forward to going back to work. Don't think I'll be chipping in for the collections that come round next time (me, bitter? Never! :rotfl: )
Been in the job for a few months now and still not settled, don't think it's for me
Need to stick with it to get this pesky credit card paid off then maybe think about moving on job wise again...Historic Debt August 2009 = £63,600 10th March 2017 = £0 100% paid all gone!
