    well i just read the whole of your diary, you should be really proud of yourself you are doing really well i think making lots of smaller payments must keep you really motivated aswell.
    Im so jealous of your holiday i would love to go to america but really cant justify spending money on a holiday at the moment. Never mind maybe next year!
    I will follow your diary with interest good luck!!!

    Hi laura, i too have read your diary.
    Well done and you have saved for a holiday as well.
    I have seen you posting before, but haven't had much chance for a natter. I was wondering about the Wiccan circle. A friend of mine used to do the same thing, and was very positive about life in general. Your diary is full of positivity, so i was thinking is it doing the same for you?

    Hey everyone thanks for the messages!

    You've cheered me up actually. Had some goodnews this week my mum bought me a new car :j but now there's something wrong with it :mad: so its still with the man at the garage :mad:

    But still otherwise life is still good.

    Not made any payments on the debts lately. am struggling as I'm trying to keep every penny i've got at the minute. You know when you come off benefits and into a job and there's that gap between the money! Won't get paid much from work and haven't heard anything from TC yet. that said my TC day was a thursday so i'll see what makes it to the bank tomorrow.


    Bob- the wiccan thing.

    Yes somedays it helps me with positivity but not all the time and don't get me wrong its not a quick fix its just like a catholic would treat their religion, it comforts me in my time of need and celebrates with me in times of joy. A lot of people look to witchcraft for a quick fix but it doesn't work that way! Right sermon over....

    I'm just eating this biscuit then i'm off to bed

    hoping its going to be nice tomorrow so I can get some more gardening done! If not you will no doubt see me lurking around hee somewhere, goodnight xxxx

    Hi Laura, just been reading up on your thread, not on much myself lately. Congrats on the Job. If its the young lady that became manager back in 2006, I used to work with her husband, and remember how proud he was of her getting the position.
