Just a token payment on Payment a day challenge but every little helps. Feels good to see the debt going down every single day, even if its just 50p or a pound.
Cant wait for next Thursday and payday from the part time job, be able to make a more serious dent in the debt repayments.Total Debt now £22,525.07 Start Debt £32,732.36

Weekends always a pain when in debt I have found but pretty good on the spending front, or rather not spending. Been feeling very down at how much debt is still left and not having money to do what you want when you want to etc.
I am sure things will improve but just on a downer. I know I have done well.Total Debt now £22,525.07 Start Debt £32,732.36

Having had my feeling down/depressed etc I quickly got on track. I did a 5 mile run (4.8 actually) on Monday evening and that made me feel so much better. While running you get time to think without distraction which I did.
It could have been that or because of the rain and my glasses slipping off every minute I took them off and ran 'blind' only to run into a bush which smacked me in the face, so it could have been that that 'woke me up'.
I know I have achieved a fair bit with regards paying off my debts and I know that I am facing them and trying hard to clear them. So I shouldnt feel down about that. And being depressed and annoyed isnt going to help get things moving.
So I have taken the week slow. Did the run Monday and Weds, listed some items on ebay and been much happier - and have tried not to let things annoy me.
Paid approx £6 extra in these 4 days in PAD challenge.
So hopefully I am back on track. Thanks for supporting messages.Total Debt now £22,525.07 Start Debt £32,732.36

Friday was a long day as had to work my 2 jobs. I work extra hours in a second job on Thurs and Friday evenings and it just so happened I also had to work Sat morning for 1st job so a bit depressing.
Saturday evening actually went out with GF. We dont go out much so although money was spent it was really enjoyable. Sunday morning did a 4.3 mile run which lifted spirits a bit.
Apart from that very little to report but wanted to report something. Cannot wait for payday and get some of the debt cleared. Did do some ebaying which ended so £10 withdrawn from Paypal. Think I made £11 something but just took £10 as a nice round number. That can be used towards the debt.Total Debt now £22,525.07 Start Debt £32,732.36
