  • Hi Huskyrunner! Thank you for the luck.

    I don't think anyone will give me credit at this stage; 0% would be wonderful! :( I think I have to just do my best to pay it down as quickly as possible, but even then I don't want to think about the amount of money they're gaining from me! :o

  • Back again, 5 days later and feeling a bit of a failure :(

    Not that it's any excuse, but work has been insanely stressful and I've been so fed up lately that when PayPal raised my credit but £200 I just.. spent it. On black friday sale Christmas gifts, a new backpack, takeaway! So £200 down the drain in a matter of minutes, and actually a spike in debt! :(:(:(

    I've got to be better at not letting my emotions get the better of me, just because I'm fed up doesn't mean I need to go out and spend :mad:

    So goal of the next week is to spend NO money beyond what's on my YNAB budget app. No treats, no silly purchases, no 'I'm fed up and I need this!'

    Just feeling a bit (more) fed up and annoyed at myself, but tomorrow is a new day, today was payday(!) and I'm on holiday from Wednesday so some things to look forward to :j

    It's just a blip. No good dwelling. Focus on where you want to go, not where youve been!

    We all have those days, it's what makes us human. :)

    Hope that work gets less stressful for you though.
