Good luck for the interview - fingers crossed for you!

As for the Forum Ambassador bit - I'd shove in a Ferrero Rocher joke but I fear you may be a little young to appreciate it! Well done there too!

Evening all,

Fell off the wagon a little but I'm here to kick myself up the tooshie and get back into gear. I worked all week last week and weekend in sainsburys besides Thursday. I'm also working my holiday which I don't mind as that means double pay. I'm off then next week from my main job and only back in sainsburys on Friday (Bank Holiday) as its time and half!

I've rejoined the gym at a grand total of £13 for the first month then £30, I'm going to the same gym my work friend goes too so that will give us both motivation to go! She's signed up for a PT so hopefully I can steal some ideas

I've started meal prepping again as I wasn't eating breakfast again, but now if I don't eat breakfast I drink a meal replacement shake otherwise I'm super hungry! We've also been given 2 extra brakes in work, so we get 10 minutes in the morning, 30 minutes lunch and then 10 minutes afternoon. So I'm also squeezing in going for a little walk which I'm enjoying.

Cars off into the garage next week, hopefully doesn't cost too much. 

Job wise, given up looking right now as I've been offered to train within a different department, which I might actually enjoy. Its taking phones apart and refurbishing them. 

Also, im going to treat myself next Wednesday to a bottomless brunch with lots of cocktails!

Thanks all who follow along x

This feels like a really positive post @BlueJ94 and even though you’ve been working a lot, the extra money to either pay off debt or treat yourself with is a bonus. 

Enjoy the bottomless brunch!!

Thank you, I've picked up an extra shift next Thursday which I don't mind as all my money is going to my debt next month rather than the car. 

Also, booked myself in for another tattoo in August!

@BlueJ94 - Oooh, look at that debt total starting with a '2' - you are seriously well on your way to debt-free now. I don't think you'll ever build it up again, as you know it just takes too long to pay it off. You'll soon be able to transfer your budgeting skills from debt-busting to saving.
Keep going for the final stretch......

I know, crazy how fast I've gotten into the 2s, especially since January!!

No I definitely won't, its sooo not worth it! Thanks for the support!x

Evening all, 

Thanks for the support and encouragement to those who follow along. 

Sainsburys has offered me an extra shift every Thursday for the time being which I accepted. They've also asked my mam to come back, as we're that short staffed! She's starting back tomorrow. Yay!

Downside to this week, I've cracked my screen on my phone. This is the second time since December plus side, I work within a phone company so I can get it done cheaper. Its £130, but I'm going to wait it out as my phone is perfectly useable so not really bothered. Annoyingly it keeps falling out of my works jacket, so now I keep making a conscious effort to not put it into my jacket pocket and leave it on the table instead

Not much going on, off out after work tomorrow with the people I work with. They're going for a pint, me? A nice Latte im driving but I don't mind as I'm working in sainsburys all weekend, I've changed from working Monday and Tuesday as over time as I think that this the issue and how I got burnt out. The weekends I can just nap so I'm typically working Sainsburys Wednesday to Sundays which works for me and I'm actually getting much better sleep.

Catch you all later x

Another positive post, these are becoming regular   I am so glad you seem to be in a much better place and you're still managing to gain the extra money to shift your debts.  

Enjoy your latte...I know it's not the same as a pint, but I'm sure you will enjoy the social aspect just the same. 

I'm jealous of the tattoo, (although I only just had my latest last month) I'm just not sure what to have next and where. 

Have a lovely Friday
