Three years to get debt free

Willowtree222

So much happening.

my back is bad, I’m off work, I might not have a job.

I’ve paid off my car insurance as a lump sum which was where I wanted to be money wise. I am so happy this is where I wanted to be and I have been able to do it. 

I’ve managed to get a few Christmas presents, which I’m happy about.

The family member with cancer has been given a couple of months. I went with my parents to pick out a Christmas card and I think that is when it really hit. Lots of cards talk about the year ahead and each time we read that, we had to leave that card knowing that it would be the last card we gave. My dad has tears deciding and I think it was when it hit home. 😢

I decided not to go to work after a difficult week. Knowing about my family member made me realise it isn’t worth it for me. I’ve been struggling for months x

Thanks all, I’m bracing myself for the next few months. They’re not going to be easy.

Work will be work. I’ll see what happens. I can’t carry on like I am, it’s making me really ill.

Is it your back issues that’s causing problems at work or is it all the changes you had previously mentioned.

Did you and dd go to a fireworks display.

Yes, it’s connected to my back and another injury. It’s causing me huge anxiety. 

No, DD went to London with her dad yesterday and won’t be back until a little later this evening. Looks like she’s had an amazing time. So glad she has enjoyed it. 

I really don’t know what will happen with work, being in there makes me physically ill with worry. I know already I have a spinal injury that was caused in work, I don’t need another injury and I think my response to this is all the anxiousness I have going in.

I need to make myself more accountable with my money. Being off has meant I’ve lost track and as a result I’m in my overdraft. I’ve gone back to click and collect ordering to avoid over ordering on things I don’t want or need. 

I’ve got £21 in Clubcard vouchers and will have another £20 before I do my Christmas shop. 

I’ve still got lots of presents to buy but also need to put some money away this month. Being in my overdraft will not help that situation at all and im quite frustrated at myself.

No change on the work front.

Aww Willow you’ve got a lot on your plate just now. Try not to be too hard on yourself, you’ve done so well with money and it’s easy to take your eye off the ball at times. I’m sure you’ll get back on track
soon. Sending hugs.
