    evening all

    Nothing to report but have got laptop rigged in bed and am having my feet rubbed by DD so though i would update while I can. Things aren't going great financially the overdraft is going up a bit :mad: but i'm keeping my eye on it.

    Think my earnings at work have gone down as i've not been working as many hours recently.

    Went to a job fair on thursday and enquired about a job and about some volunteering in another attempt to raise my income-quite a positive day just need to get round to applying for some jobs now!

    DD going to sleep now!

    I know how you feel, it's easy to slide off the back of the wagon, I'm hanging on by a thread at the moment too.

    Good luck with the job fair jobs!

    Nice to see you back Laura. We were thinking about getting one of the free AOL laptops, guess you wouldn't recommend it then?

    Don't be too hard on your self about the amount you've paid off. You have paid off a lot.
    CC2 = £8687.86 ([STRIKE]£10000[/STRIKE] )CC1 = £0 ([STRIKE]£9983[/STRIKE] ); Reusing shopping bags savings =£5.80 vs spent £1.05.Wine is like opera. You can enjoy it even if you don't understand it and too much can give you a headache the next day J

    right now i've been away and got all myfigures together i can tell you i'm not a happy bunny!

    Forma £966.83
    HSBC od £20
    A & L od £1500
    Loan £10073.76

    Total £ 12560.59 :mad:

    Considering how long its been since I was last here i'm mighty dissapointed with the amount i've paid off- a total of £1729.20 :mad:

    Not good considering I vowed to pay off six times that by now.

    but onward and upward

    HIya

    Don't think I've caught your diary before...

    Don't be mad with yourself - before your LBM this figure would have gone up - it is going down albeit slowly...

    Well done Laura!!!!! :T

    And now they've lodged an appeal

    w*****s I don't know how they dare :mad:

    I'll bet that solicitor's rubbing his hands together :rolleyes:

    right today I am mystery shopping and going to visit a friend. Have already washed the pots so done more than I manage on most mornings! :p

    Got to ring round the family now and give them the news!
