Working Hard Debt Diary - Here goes

WorkingHardDFW

:rotfl: No it doesn't sound moany at all its reality. I think at times it gets tedious since its so relentless particularly with such large debt looming over us. I often wonder what it would be like to get a nice big windfall to clear the debt..........back in the real world its small steps.....sometimes there isn't much more to cut back on.........

.......slight break just catching the tennis........

Equally sometimes it feels as though I am only one seeing the reality of the our situation. OH has started muttering about when he can change his car....and when he can have Sky sports back

..........tennis again.....:o

I've told him when are debts are cleared he can change his car and I'm quite happy living with a car loan but not a car loan and another £24k of debt as well. As for Sky sports if he gets a bonus then I suppose the cost could be offset against the reduced debt but to be honest I would rather pay the money off the debt.

Like the powerwalking thing with Pania. Was it you that entered int he British 10K for am I mixing you up with someone else?

WorkingHardDFW

Oh and I am meant to be doing some work prep whilst hopping in to see the tennis and MSE'ing

It wasn't me that was doing the 10k - we are aiming to do the marathon (entries permitting) in April :eek:

We are watching the tennis too - my workmate had an accumulator on - something like Tiger Woods to win the US open, Spain to win the Euro 2006, etc etc with the final bit being Nadal to win Wimbledon.....

.....needless to say, if Nadal wins, my colleague gets £1800 for a £10 bet :eek: I bet he is rather on the edge of his seat right now :rotfl:

Looks like he's buying a few beers now then!

Good luck with the marathon - i'd love to do one - one day :cool:

hypno06

I'm guessing there will be cream cakes in the office tomorrow!! I wonder if he has any finger nails left :rotfl:

I did the marathon back in 1991 and 1993 - so about time I did it again methinks!!

WorkingHardDFW

Just managed a late notice mystery shop. Another £10 on my totals for the challenge. All helps!

hypno06

Certainly does - I have just done a mystery shop in my lunchtime too.......gets me a bit of extra cash, and saves me mooching round the shops wishing I had money to spend!! Bonus!!

lucielle

That is great news. Keep going you are doing so well.

WorkingHardDFW

Thanks both. I don't seem to get too many shops, and the ones I do are all for the same company, and certianly not phone ones as I think Hypno does. i think I may need to invest some time trawling through the sites and checking the websites a little more regularly.

Saying that the ones i've done have brought in £100 which is no mean amoutn for not actually doing very much.

I work part time but have increased to full time also changed two of my cards to 0% offers so i now only have one I now have to pay interest on. which is fab.

As for anyone planning on doing the marathon I did it two years ago and totally loved it the greatest feeling ever!!

Still havn't put anything on e bay must get onto that this week.
