hi all!!!!

Sorry i havent updated in ages rough head and all stopped me getting on here! plus i just slept most of the time when i was off! went back to work on monday and feeling better most of the time now im on anti-histimins but rough today!

need to get back on track with my diary as ive had some good news and have had to set myself some targets...

my friend is looking for a house mate and she only wants £250 for rent, inc all bills so decided im gonna go live with her. get on really well and she doesnt live very far from me (less than a mile from my parents where i live at mo) so decided im going to break free of my parents haha!

anyway so to help me move out parents are goin to help me pay off one of my loans that i currently pay £150 a month for (which will mean i'll have enough money for rent!). Balance is currently about £3150 and parents are going to match everything i pay off it so effectively have to pay half of it!!! yey help with debts!!!!

so aiming to pay that off by end of august... then moving in sept!!

anyway hope i havent bored anyone but was really nice of you all asking how i was!! thanks!

That is a really nice thing for your parents to do, and still gives you the "motivation" to raise money yourself to pay off too!

I am sure you will get there very soon - now you have a new "focus" x

hi all im back again!

today i've done 2 hours overtime to put towards my targets..catched up on some onepoll surveys and updated my spreadsheets. Been looking at doing some freelance admin work on odesk but it seems very low paid..gonna have to look into it more to see if its worth it...

very motivated by parents offer so lovely of them to do it, gonna help me a lot!

really chuffed because i needed some new glasses and manged to get a free eye test voucher from work which saved me about £25 then i got a voucher from them for £75 off my glasses so only paid £14 for two pairs of glasses (they were £89 bogof!) YEY!!

hi all backagain!!

just checked my credit rating with experian, checking equifax tomorrow.

realised that i only have 2 defaults on my credit rating both from egg, not lifted until aug 2013 (i assume they stay on 6 years?) but its better than i expected!

managed to sell one of my psp games today on amazon for a tenner and had a few little wins on bingo the last few nights. been keeping up with my overtime too even got a pound from a lightspeed survey tonight haha!

ah well just thought id share those little things, theyve given me a bit of hope for today!!
