  • just cause your in debt doesnt mean you dont have a good credit score. Mine is exactly the same mainly due to the fact that all my payments are always on time and havent missed any bar one (which was ages ago due to a balance transfer !!!! up :mad: )

    If your looking after your debt your score will stay good!

    Wow... that's really scary, if I wasn't determind to get rid, that would mean there is someone out the who would give me more..... What a horrible thought!!

    But good for the future I guess, nice to know there is nothing nasty there though....

    My payments are all done dd so I don't need to worry about the min payments, and cheques do for over payments. Thanks for that!

    They will be gone this year, hopefully by the summer if I can manage it, but I need to get Ebaying and Amazoning like a little demon for that to happen.

    Still nothing like getting rid of junk, sorry quality goods!

    Congratulations on the weight loss i need to lose similar to what you had to start with but unfortuntately SW just isn't for me, so trying on my own, managed just over a stone before christmas.

    You should be able to survive on £95 for the rest of the month, i'm trying to do till the 28th on £25 which is going to be very tight. Just hoping to get away with bread and some stuff for the cats. Will feel that i've achieved something major if i manage this.

    Look forward to keeping up with your diary.

    Morning Everyone.

    I ended up having a really quiet weekend, I've been having weird stomach cramps since Saturday night, not very nice, but I have slept loads.

    Nothing much happening on the money front, still within budget and on track. Was a bit naughty with food on Friday night and Saturday, which means I wont have lost anything tonight and will be doing well to not put on :mad: Still I had a talk to myself last night and I AM going to do this!

    So today I have and will be eating:

    2 weetabix with skimmed milk and a banana.
    HM vegetable soup.
    Jacket Spud and beans with Quorn Sausages.

    With loads of healthy fruit inbetween. I just hope that I start to feel better soon. I DO NOT want to come down with this sickness bug!

    My boss is out today, so I have a few jobs to do for him and we have a temp starting so it looks like I am in for a busy day, which is good because it is all part of my new outlook on life. I feel like I have just been playing at things rather than giving them my full attention, so I am starting today.

    Aiming for a NSD.

    Keep smiling!! x

    Right have had a none drill Fire Alarm at work. Got to be a fire warden for the first time and we ended up with a fire engine and firemen! Everything is ok and settling back to normal.

    I can't believe that it is nearly 11.30 though, I'm not really sure where the time has gone! Not really got much work done, but I have been running around doing fire type stuff, still there is always this afternoon!

    And it's raining! I can't wait for the summer.
