    8 hour shift over - think I've got a cold coming on :(. Back in tomorrow night, but only for 3 hours.

    Water bill arrears are £235.90, so I should be able to clear that by the end of May. I'll start making daily payments from Friday onwards.

    Throat hurting, head pounding, hardly any sleep, annoying tickly cough - I don't want to be ill again!!tantrum.gif

    I'll probably go into work tonight as it's only 3 hours and at least they can then see I'm worse than yesterday, just in case I'm too ill to go in on Saturday. Really don't want to go sick again so soon after my chest infection, but I'm sure they don't want me coughing and sneezing in customer's faces too much!!

    Thank you :A - I didn't go into work. I started coughing so much that I made myself sick, and don't think customers would want to see that in the middle of the shop.

    Soooooooooo tired :( - think I got about 1 hour's sleep last night (or rather 3am-4am this morning).

    Anyway, it's payday, and I've made a couple of payments. The payday loan debt has been cleared (although she wanted to know the ins and outs of a duck's a$$ - no idea why she wanted to know about my income, outgoings etc when I was actually clearing the debt. I refused to give her any info).

    I also paid £135.90 off the water bill arrears, bringing them down to £100. I'll clear £100 off one lot of the council tax arrears over the weekend too, bringing them down to £1,000. The other lot of arrears are due a payment of £200 on the 19th.

    You're doing so well with your debt-busting, Emz:T. It's a lovely feeling to see a debt completely wiped out isn't it?

    I hope you'll be feeling better very soon. It's horrible being kept awake all night by a cough:(.

    I'm in a kind of limbo at the moment as I didn't go to bed at all last night because I was engrossed by the Election coverage on TV. I know, I should get a life:rotfl:. Then I fell asleep for a couple of hours on the sofa after tea tonight but I've just woke up and probably won't be able to sleep tonight now:eek:.

    I hope you have a better weekend:beer:
