Thank you I actually do feel like a totally different person now because in the beginning I felt totally lost and overwhelmed and alone and like I had totally lost control of everything in my life. Everything is so much better now and I feel like it is my life again and that I am totally in control of my own future and I am really starting to believe what my sister has always told me which is that anybody at all can achieve absolutely anything that they want to if they are determined enough.Debt August 2007 - £38,204.58 - Completely Debt Free - May 2008 - Now Proudly Saving.DFW Nerd Number 684 - Proud To Have Dealt With My Debts:heartpuls Very Proud Aunty Ciara :heartpuls0 -

She is as usual, quite right. I often feel that when everyone posts for the first time about debts-there is an overwhelming feeling of something in their life which has gone. I would liken it to mourning, as in a sense of loss of freedom and an inabilty to look beyond the trees, and dare to hope for the future. By continuing posting people will see that there is a future to look forward to..It may not be immediately, however, it is there.Blackadder: Am I jumping the gun, Baldrick, or are the words 'I have a cunning plan' marching with ill-deserved confidence in the direction of this conversation?

I promise that I will keep posting if only to reassure people that they are really not missing out on that much because becoming debt free does not mean that your life will become more exciting and adventurous and action packed and is likely to stay just as boring as it was before or maybe that will just be me that that happens to.:rotfl:

I am sorry that I have not updated very much lately but I have been getting rushed off of my feet work wise and this is supposed to be my Easter holiday as well. :rolleyes: I have worked absolutely every shift that I have been offered so far as well as keeping up to date with all of my gallery work as well and I have even learned how to do silver service as well which turned out to not be nearly as difficult as it looked after all so that I could do as many shifts as possible and I am optimistic now about reaching my total to pay off student loans.
We have a show at the gallery today and tomorrow as well and then I will be going on to work at the residents bar in the hotel because I can start there later in the evening and there were hours available because there are several wedding receptions taking place this weekend and these are always good for extra money in the way of tips.
I do not leave my tips at work in this job though because I was told that if I did then that would probably be the last time that I ever saw them so I bring them home and put them in my piggy bank which I will be emptying at the end of the month although it feels quite heavy I am really not sure at all how much will be in there so I am hoping for a nice surprise.

Sounds like your weekend is as busy as mine. Hope it proves lucrative....
On the moving in front, Spud and i have found out that we live near to each other, so can split the driving.:j
only joking...:DBlackadder: Am I jumping the gun, Baldrick, or are the words 'I have a cunning plan' marching with ill-deserved confidence in the direction of this conversation?

Thank you very much I really hope that it does as well because although I am probably being a bit over optimistic I would dearly love to have enough to clear my loans this month and that is why I am taking on so much work and even although I know that I really will probably not make it I know that I will be sort of devastated when I do not manage which I know sounds totally daft.:rolleyes: I am also missing the lovely boyfriend as well because he is away on holiday this week and next as well so I am trying to keep busy so that I do not dwell and become jealous of how much fun he will be having in the glorious sunshine while I am here in cold and wet Scotland.
If you give my sister enough warning then she would probably come down and do the driving for you so that you could save your petrol money and also because it would give her a good excuse to take her beloved new car out for a long drive but I would strongly advise that you only get in a car with her if you do not suffer from any blood pressure related illnesses. :rotfl:

My holiday is nearly over only I really feel like I will be going back to my main normal day job for a rest. :rolleyes: I have worked lots and lots of extra hours to make some more money and I will also have a good amount of commision coming my way at the end of the month because I have managed to make lots of sales at the recent shows so it is all looking really good for the end of the month.Debt August 2007 - £38,204.58 - Completely Debt Free - May 2008 - Now Proudly Saving.DFW Nerd Number 684 - Proud To Have Dealt With My Debts:heartpuls Very Proud Aunty Ciara :heartpuls0

Hello I hope that everybody is keeping well and that life is treating you all good.
I am not very well at the moment though I think that it might actually all be my own fault for working far too much over the last few weeks or at least that is what my sister is telling me constantly anyway while she is more or less holding me under house arrest until I have recovered a bit.
I do feel terrible and really run down and tired but it has all been so worth it because I think that according to my calculations that by the last day of the month that I will have enough money to clear everything although I might just end up having to walk everywhere for the next month and drink only tap water too.
