    Oh kittycat, you sound like you're having an awful time. I'm in a similar boat to you, except I'm loaded up with so many visits each day I don't have time to breathe, let alone try and manage a team and a caseload. Pm me if you want to chat, seems like we work in similar fields.
    I'm now feeling absolutely sick at the thought of going into work tomorrow. Luckily I'm elsewhere for most of the day but Tuesday is literally eating me up internally. I have also bawled my eyes out on my husband - poor thing is gonna drown if I cry any more tears on him :rotfl:
    Hope once you get to know a few people it will get better for you x
    Baby due 21/06/2017 :)

    I can't sleep so have been checking my bank accounts and found that my monthly loan payment has gone out. A total of £156.99 off the balance bringing my total so far to

    #87 £1,882.66/£4,827.56 or 38.99%

    Under £3k owing now too :j
    Goals for February
    Declutter 2/50
    Money Made £0/£200
    Overpayments £0/£200
  • Nothing to add to my totals until the end of the week but have had a very MSE weekend.
    Managed to convince hubby that Sky subscription no longer required but sweetened the pill by changing phone and broadband to BT so he can get BT sport free of charge.
    Savings made - £38.25 Sky and BT approx. £12 a month cheaper so an extra £50 to throw at the debts from April!

    Right, you awesome lot. I've finally gotten round to doing a full update (it's been 10 DAYS!!!). Everyone's totals on page one should now be correct, give me a slap if they're not :rotfl:

    We're doing fantastically (again!). Well over £50k paid off this month, with over a week and plenty of people's paydays still to go. Keep it up :beer:
    Hi :wave:

    Can I join please? Been looking at figures today and hopefully we should manage to pay it all off by Xmas. I was part of the first original thread and it was brilliant so here I am back, to finally and hopefully slay this debt :D

    My total to be paid off is £4105.60

    Lots of budgeting to be done but sure we can do this :p

    Looking forward to joining in :beer:

    Sorry it's taken me a week to get you registered! You're far more welcome than I've made it seem :rotfl: I've given you number 161 if that's ok?
    First week in the new job done, i HATE it, its been a traumatic week with plenty of tears and doubt. :cry::cry::undecided

    The only thing that has kept me sane is knowing pay day is just over a week away and the new job is a significant pay rise. I am now even more determined to get the debt off - even faster than i had planned because i hate this job so much. (I am hoping it improves) The quicker i get the debt paid off the quicker i can hand my notice in and go back to my old job (yes less money, but an amazing team and money isnt everything :()

    Wow, sounds like a terrible start to what should be an exciting new chapter. Never let yourself feel useless - if they're not utilising you properly, that's not your fault. And if it continues, life is too short to sit in a job that you hate... would your old job take you back? Even if not, there are plenty of opportunities out there. Keep your chin up :)

    I thought I made an absolute mess of it cos I couldn't speak at all. I left feeling quite embarrassed and like I had blown it :o:o

    ...but got a message a couple of hrs ago to say they thought I was the strongest candidate and they would like to offer me the job:eek:
