    Hi everyone!
    I've done an update.
    Backwards and forwads for me. Big forwards is I've got a new job:j
    as cashier in the bank, I've wanted job in finances. It's only one day per week, but still. I'm runingmy business for the rest of the week. My first day at work had a disastrous start though. My car packed in just before I went into parking!!!:mad: I blocked the road, some lovely postman helped me moved my car on the side :) To shorten up story: calling for an assistance and work on my car costed me £300. Not good, but it's done now. I'll just my target, ideally I want to clear it off before end of my challenge.
    Keep going, you're so great!
    Beanielou, when did you become Five Ribbons Moneysaver? :D
    Today :D

    Good news on the new job :)
    Soory about the car though.

    Awww that's great. Sometimes, now I'm money-savvy and all, I think I want to work in finances... What made you want to work in finances and how are you finding it

    Hi Sweetcake :)
    I've studied Economics long time and I enjoyed it. I had other jobs and have been running my own business for eight years, but it's always been in the back of my head I wanted to come back to the finances. I applied for a job I got it :)

    We see how it will go :) It's scary but exciting.

    Yes I paid off all £799.

    I've slightly backslid with my spending ( :( )so I'm going to look at my finances next weekend and will update with a new total to pay off then.

    Not been on here much but since I last posted I've paid a whopping £213 off the Next bill!!!128077;!!!128077;!!!128077;

    Payday meant the large payment going through and I've been PADding like mad! This bill that was touching £2100 at Christmas time currently stands at £670! I did buy something from next for £34 but did a PADding of £38 to more than cover it! Interest gets added on the 6th July so I need it sufficiently into the 600's so that it doesn't go back up into the 700's! I'm sure I'll do it!!
