Slaying my Debts

Buffythedebtslayer

done it.

borrowed the money. feel a bit sick but Take That are on the TV so that's good.

I always fancied gary Barlow. yum.


I will put the money I have borrowed into a high interest account, it won't cover the BT fee, but every little bit helps.

and then when I need to pay the dentist I can and I can start paying off the credit card asap.

so now I am in a total debt of 21411.

its ok its ok. it will be ok.

I 'll never have any money again.

well it will go down by about 800 pounds a month so it won't stay up there for long.

and I am registering as self employed so I can mysery shop and have applied for AQA and have 8 quid on ciao, plus I cashed in 40 quid from Greenmet. and I will sell on e bay once term is over. plus do avon properly. and I might look for a second job. that way I could have that as spending money and add more to the repayments.

It has to work.

I know that sick feeling but tell yuorself things will get better. Keep away from ebay, I find ils addictive and every thing seems like a bargain

Just a thought but mystery shopping is ok, but money not always brilliant, and there are a lotof people chaseing the same job.

Saw an advert in our paper, regarding Asda, they employ seasonal staff, you work a minimujm of 10 weeks per year, each of those weeks a 15 hr week, you get the same benefits as any member of staff, (bonuses, staff discount), and you can pick up extra hours throughout the year if you want to.

The basis is behind it is they only have to train a person once, and they stay due to the flexibility. Applies to any Asda store, sont know if you have one near you.

Hope you ok. xx

Hi Buffy, I saw your Thread this morning and just HAD to say how brave and amazing I think you are and how much you have inspired me.

I got up at 5am to work (I work on a Chatline) and was considering going back to bed but you have inspired me to get up, have something to eat and get my day going and get something achieved today!!!

Also, if you are looking for extra work you could work on a Chatline from home, although if you live at home not sure how your Mum would feel about that and also, you need your own Phone Line...

Good luck with the Dentist, Driving and the Job Hunting....things can only get better hun!!!

Helen, you have made my sunday morning lovely! thank you for you kind comments. I don't feel too inspiring today got earache. its the one thing that really makes me sulk and feel like a kid.

*Techie Q does anyone know what programme 'Prevelance reporter' is my zone alarm keeps saying its asking for access and I keep say no? sound like spy ware to me? *

Choices today - pets, School Work.. OU.

I should do school work or ou really. Pets I could clean out Monday and Tuesday night. they arent quite at the stinky level.

yep so I will hoover tidy up and file nonsense. then start work. but breakfast first.

see you all later when I report on my progress!

Quoted from Olive's 75 day challenge just to keep me on the straight and narrow here as well.

Hello Olive!

I have decided to join you and just spent a sad half hour or so planning my 70 day challenge, which will finish on the 14th of Sept. I am starting tomorrow.

It feels a bit odd to be honest since the 13th of sept is a very difficult sad day for me. If I had started it today it would end then and I am not sure I want that.

But I made some promises to some one important and this challenge will help me keep them.

my aims for the next 70 days are

1. to lose a stone
2. to sort out our back garden to a place Mum and I can sit and enjoy a glass of wine or cp of tea!
3. put up the new shed and fill it with stuff that is important to me, not endless amounts of junk
4. get someone to put boards down in the loft and use the space properly.
5. to e bay my extra junk.
6. to get a good Avon customer base
7. to halve my credit card debit.
8. to complete my assignments for open university.
9. to be fully prepared for school next term.

hmmmm. it looks like a lot to do over 10 weeks, six of those I will be off work so I think it is doable.

so here is to the challenge :beer:

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Well done Buffy for getting up and getting to it today....I feel like I have done kind of the same sort of thing as well!!

And the aims for the next 10 weeks look very very achieveable so don't worry too much, you will get through it in no time!!

Good luck and let us know how you're getting on hun!! :T
