Three years to get debt free
Comments

I feel awful today. I went to bed last night and started to get chest pains. Someone from work had phoned me last week asking me to do some paperwork and after that I felt under pressure and then my sleep started to go back to how it was. Anyway, I barely slept and so today I’ve struggled. I’m hoping tonight I can relax and sleep.

Work have invited me in for a meeting. Will see when that is and how it goes.

DD not well today so instead of clubs, we’re having a relax day. She’s coughing a lot and was almost sick coughing last night.I’ve got £169 to last me until the 15th. DD’s clubs for next term are due out next week so I need to be frugal with shopping and spending. I can’t spend anything out of the ordinary.XSeptember 2017 Debt = £25330

Just caught up on your dairy and I'm so sorry to read you are having such a rough time. I'm glad your Dr is looking out for you though and you are taking the time you need. As for your employer they really shouldn't be hassling you while you are actually off, that should be done as a back to work meeting when you are ready to return. I hope you are with a union and ask them to help if you need to. I also hope your back improves ASAP back pain is the worst😟

They’re following policy which I understand, but that doesn’t help how I feel.The DR has been great, which has been so welcomed. He’s really got my well-being at the front of everything.I’m hoping the back eases soon too! XSeptember 2017 Debt = £25330

Morning,
I was right about my view of the credit card. I used some of my savings to pay off the first £500. It leaves me with a little less in savings but I’ve started to make the progress towards paying it off. My regular payment was £148 so that’s just over three times the amount.
It’s now at £6496. Payday will see me pay off some more. That’s my next year focus.XSeptember 2017 Debt = £25330
