    Pay day on Friday, counting down the days.

    Debt £12,710.91 - not being organised has caused this, will also admit to buying tickets to a gig too - my bad!

    I am going to apply for another job, won't get anymore money but will be a better job - trying not to get my hopes up too much but would love it!!!

  • Hey there,

    Few things to update;

    * I am still spending too much money
    * I am still spending on the credit cards
    * I am still paying said credit cards
    * I still don't have a specific date for my house move
    * I am almost done my Christmas shopping (overtime paid for this)
    * I got the job I applied for - start on Monday!
    * I am still fat

    Lots of work to do for me over the next while.

  • Ahh I'm in a similar boat, my debt is coming down but I have been a bit lax with the spending control.

  • Hi Dolly!

    I just started reading and saw you are going to Rome next month! We went back in 2013 while on honeymoon and it was AMAZING! Defo my fave city (we did Paris, Madrid and London too).

    It's super cheap to eat out if you go off the Piazza's and the food is to die for so delish! Defo don't be on a diet!

    Also we bought Roma passes which got us into a good few bigger sights which was worth it. It's a compact city we managed to walk most places so shouldn't spend on public transport!

    Also Vatican wasn't expensive but we spent ages in there so good value!

    Right away to read you've probably got everything booked but I just got excited :)

    Eeeeek I am so excited & the husband still has no idea!


    Have everything booked already just need to print off all the booking confirmations etc but will do that the week before.


    We will probably walk everywhere too to be honest, we are staying on the Piazza Navona so really central.
