    Hey @Parkyp

    He does have debt but not as much as me. I know he's not trying to be nasty about it but I've told him once my debts are paid I can buy Christmas presents! :lol:

    Ooh haha! I just took Django on a walk actually and got caught in the rain!

    Congratulations on getting the job :) - It will be nice to have a bit of extra funds to chuck towards the debt, just be careful to not burn yourself out

    Thanks @FootyFanDan Exactly, I'll be paying the debts off in no time! I won't, I plan on making sure I eat properly and keep hydrated. I do plan on doing over time (they said I could apply for over time online when I'm all signed up) so that would be nice extra money also! I know the store I'm at doesn't open until 10AM on Sundays, so I don't mind working up until 9 maybe 10, hopefully won't have to deal with people :lol:

    Morning all!

    I actually moved my butt and forced myself to go to the gym this morning. The weather was awful!! But I'm glad I did it :smile:

    Need to order myself some all black trainers for the new job, so I'll have a look on Boohoo later as I have a few days left of free next day delivery which I don't plan on renewing. I also found a protein smoothie online that I might try as I know ill struggle with breakfast in the new job.

    Not much going on, don't need petrol yet and praying I won't for a while :smile:
