Clearing my debt after 25 years

Jrcoal5

Yes they are like my family, I have worked with my boss who is stepping up to take more responsibility and I’ll be taking her job, for 24 years now so you just become that way, I’ll always be a bit sad that I won’t get to work with children as I do love them so much, but I have to do what seems best for me and my family and right now that is this.
let’s see what today brings! I’m off out to celebrate with my work crew to so that will be nice! 

PAD is £1.63 and £56 to sealed tin(house decorating) and I’ve just cashed out on u gov £50 so that will go to holiday savings when it arrives, have a brilliant day everyone x

Enjoying your job is everything in life. I was stuck in a job I hated for over 20 years as I couldn't find the courage to change. I changed last July and haven't looked back.

Yes there are days when I truly hate the job mind, it’s a stressful event for people and the clients can be really very horrible to you sometimes but then it settles down again, we always support each other and our life problems and you don’t get that many places. I think I have stayed sometimes because I haven’t had the courage to leave, sometimes though it’s better the devil u know, glad it worked for you, I’d definitely go if I hated it your there far to much to not enjoy it xx

Good day today £50 came in from u gov surveys so sent that to holiday savings, £1 to debt and £2 to sealed tin for new house, been raining here all day and woke a little hungover from night out with work friends. Been to the cemetery as it’s 18 years since our little boy was born sleeping so we have taken some flowers and solar lights and had a tidy up there, he was very poorly with Trisomy 18 an extra chromosome, but days like today are hard, we have always talked about him and remember him as a family so my children always know they are 4 and not 3. We Received the paperwork from solicitors for the house sale so have completed those and Mr J will take them in Monday on his day off.

Been to see middle daughter today and has a lovely day sorted out her flat and we had a walk out for some lunch, home bathed and ready for work tomorrow just a usual Sunday. Mr J is going to start clearing the shed tomorrow as it’s his day off and I’m working, not much else to report so off to bed xx

Just counted up the total debt owing and it’s down to £7105.25 so I’ve paid off a fair bit since my last count up in February of £7805.72, £700 paid off! I’m quite pleased with that as we did have a weekend away in March, as it’s pay day this week and Mr J has worked overtime we should be cracking into that 6 figure so that’s quite exciting!!

Wow, a lot has happened over the weekend. Well done on the debt repayments. I always give up on You Gov, the £50 seems impossible but I see many people do manage it.

Have a great day.
