  • I don't envy you I hated having to pack up but like you I got rid of alot of stuff and put some on Facebook as well which paid for takeaway for the family who helped me with moving 
    Yes facebook is an amazing selling place and with no fees, I hope they never introduce fees,

    I think my Guardian Angel has finally got his/her act together, not sure how but somehow I have managed to secure a job with the NHS as bank admin staff :) As you can imagine I am over the moon. Hoping this role see's me through this pandemic and enables me to pay of the three credit cards

    Things are looking up, New home (yet to move) and New job, might meet me a tasty Surgeon or other medical professional and find a hubby! nah... that is being greedy

    That's great news fingers crossed for you. Once you're in system it's so much easier to move around so hopefully something permanent might come up

    Oh wow, I was unaware of this, that is good to know :) Might run away to the countryside if that is the case, after I've saved and paid the debts off.
    My mum said pension when I told her not well done or anything of that nature but 'You will get a pension with the NHS"

  • I've not updated lately as not been up to much, I've paid the mins on the debts while job hunting, moving home and plodding along.
    I have finally received a start date for the NHS Bank Admin jib, I start Monday, it is weekly pay so looks like I will be able to get a few Christmas Presents this year, only have 4 people to buy for!
    I have also moved home, finally moved away from my nightmare neighbour, it is so quiet in my new home and I feel so much safer :) just need to decorate and get it all homely, Still on a mission to buy my own home so now I have a job the saving can start once I have paid off the debts

    In other news, I got a £60.00 gift from my car insurance, I used a link off here when my car insurance needed renewing, I just need to choose how I want the £60: Love 2 Shop, Tesco, Amazon or pre payment mastercard... I would prefer money in the bank! any suggestions/advice appreciated

    Hopefully covid will !!!!!! of soon and things will be even more normal. I am excited to be able to afford to pay my bills though!

  • I'd go with prepaid mastercard if going to give you 60 on it as you could just use it to buy food shop or something and move the money you'd spend usually off the debt

    Good to hear from you.
    Glad that you start the new job next week & have moved house.

    I assume this will be like a credit card, but with £60.00 on it and more choice as to where to spend the money?
