Kaz's Get Rid of Debt Diary

Yukkibear you'll have to let me know how you do on your ebay sales. Don't blame you for sorting out the car situation - I've never owned my own car, it's always been something my OH has chosen so as soon as we're debt free I'm gonna get the Mini I've always dreamed of.

I have a couple of bits of junk here (and I mean junk) so I might just bung them on for the hell of it, as I know sometimes the things that look like they wont sell do the best. Was annoyed will DS yesterday as I took a load of freebies off his Doctor Who mags that had been there over 6 months and was gonna put them on as they would have made great party bag gifts. He decided that actually he really needed a load more pens and junk though and took great delight in the fact that I had spent ages carefully removing them for him :mad: - oh well!!

Just got back from the dreaded supermarket and spent a total of £30.76, which was not bad considering it included £5 of dog food and £10 of meat. That leaves me with £120 to last the month (yulp!)

Whilst I was there I saw a friend who works in another local school (she is primary and I work in secondary and for Social Services). She mentioned that there are 15 hours work at her place and did I want to apply as there have been hardly any applicants. Now in a bit of a dilemma as I already do 2 days a week at the school and 1 day Social Services and taking on 3 more days plus OU, running a youth club, doing up a house, dogs etc might just push me over the edge :eek:.

On the other hand it is only until the summer holidays which is 12 weeks away and maybe we could use half the money towards debt and the other half to do something nice in the hols? I think I've just answered my own question really - I'll apply and see what happens. The cut off is today but I can apply online.

Feel like I've got 101 things going around in my head so I'm off for a nice cold drink, 5 mins chill and then back to housework, tea, study and dog walking!! A woman's work is never done:A. I'll be back later............

Thanks BeanieLou - I know it will be mad doing maybe 6 days a week but if it's only for a short time I'm sure we can muddle through and besides I'll probably be too tired to go out and spend money:D.

An extra couple of hundred to spend on debts is definately not to be sniffed at and besides my other school job always gets reviewed in the summer so it may open new avenues if my hours are cut there. I'm still living in hope that the funding will get organised for my dream job of being a paid youth worker which would basically be doing what I do now as a volunteer plus loads more. Should hear any day now and loads of people in the right places are singing my praises and saying how ideal it would be so you never know!:cheesy:

Ok just got back from an hours walk with the dogs (now soggy doggies as they've been in the pond) so bit of studying before some chill out. Quite a productive day in all and Npower have even cut my direct debit!:T:T:T

Bye for now......:hello:

Just a quick post as have a meeting to go to tonight and then running the youth club. Still need to walk the dogs, have a quick tidy up and made tea before 6.15pm!!

Update on the job situation - found the job my friend had mentioned on the council website but was closing yesterday so missed the deadline. I figure that rather than giving up I am gonna get a CV together tomorrow on my day off and drop it in by hand to the school. Even if I am not considered for the 15 hours, they may put me down as bank staff so may get a bit of work that way. Bit fed up as I thought I had my CV somewhere on the computer but it seems to have disappeared into cyberspace :mad::mad::mad::mad: so will have to start completely again.

Jumped on the scales this morning and I have lost 1 lb :T:T:T:T:T:T so a good step in the right direction.

Have spent less than a pound today as needed headache tablets and erasers for work. Also gave DS 50p for some sweets as I was late picking him up from school, due to being at work, as he has to wait around for me to arrive.

Lovely to see some new people on the thread. I'd love to hear all about you so keep posting.

Just had a bowl of cereal to keep me going until tea so that's me off for now. I picked up the new gym timetable today so I'll let you know how I go with that tomorrow.
