CrazyBee wants to be Mortgage Free!

I mean this in the nicest possible way, but you are broke, bee! Do you really need to buy all these things? Where are you getting them from? Is there not a charity shop near you or a thrift shop that you could get stuff from instead that would be a bit cheaper if you really do NEED them?

I get not wanting a lodger that you've never met and that's completely understandable but other than that I feel like you need to just get on with it, this is a business transaction not a way to meet a new best friend or soul mate. Also on the job front, good luck and I hope you find something soon, but again get anything you can, please don't be picky. Get what you can, get some money coming in and then when you've paid off your debt and more stable, look around for something that's more suited to want you want to do.

I'm sorry, I feel so mean saying this but I'm worried you're going to lose your place if you continue this way x

You need to think about what would happen if you didn’t have people to bail you out. Do you really need all the things for the room? I think we all have standards but we sometimes have to lower them if we can’t afford them. Please take this in spirit in which it is meant. 🤗

I know you are right, I know I shouldn't expect MD & SFD to bail me out, in fact I am not planning to ask them to. I am hoping that I can sort my own life out by getting a lodger and a job! on That front I have a new person interested in the room, I am now waiting to hear back when he is ready to view! Also I am hoping I hear back from a company I applied for a job - also I have an interview for a garage, which would help.

I defo don't want to use the charity shop for bedroom interior but I understand where you are coming from. The whole reason is to make more money on the room from all of the expenditure. I have interest in the room, and the amount of money I will be getting would allow me to pay off the debt, it will take a while but it is 0% so there was just transfer fee which is less then my credit card bill would have been.

Also on the lodger front it is quite important to get the right person as the wrong person could make life a lot worse being in quite close proximity. However with the best of intentions that could still happen. I am quite lonely generally so it would be nice if we were more friendly and get along rather then seperate. But yes, I do see your point about it being more transactional and less pally. But wouldn't it be a good situation if we did get along quite well?

As long as I get a lodger in soon I am sure things will be much better and soon, you will start to see that balance diminish and I have no intention of getting anything else on credit, seriously!

Thank you for caring.XX

Potential lodger visiting at 2pm, recruiter just called about a job and they said she needs to check a few things but thinks I would be good for it. It includes a little payroll which I am quite keen to get the experience also I hope I will be starting a course in October to do with payroll. Could be a good avenue for me. Lets seeXX

Lodger is coming, he has already paid the deposit, I am waiting to finalise the date the lodger is coming, but we got on well and he is very nice and has a lovely smile and he is a chef and we said we would cook for each other occasionally! I am up to 6/19 No spend days and also the recruiter is sending my application for the accounts role. I could potentially have two jobs soon! from none to two - well lets see!
