...for the renegade master...
Been rather off radar recently, not quite sure why, just not been in a writing kinda mood.
Lots of things going on - redundancy consultation at work begins Monday (we knew it was coming though), I have a job interview on Tuesday, and today I am applying for 5 other vacancies and finishing preparing a presentation for my job interview.
Things still not amazing with the bestie after she got together with my ex; we're amicable but I just don't feel the same about our friendship as I did. Made a random new friend via an internet date that didn't go anywhere romantically. Nothing to report really on the dating front, except I'm in contact with a nice guy who I should be meeting up with when he gets back from holiday soon.
Absolutely bricking it about my interview on Tuesday - interviews don't normally worry me but the job is doing lots of things I've not done before, so I need to make sure I come across as well as possible to stand a chance. It's paying £13k more than I'm on at the moment so it would sort my finances right out if I got it. It's also doing something I really want to do, and with no job security where I am it would be great timing. Fingers crossed for a lucky break! I've not had the best 2011 or 2012 so far so hopefully I'm due one?!
On the money front I've been relatively good, managing to save a little from my weekly budget every week (20p saved is still better than nothing right?!) and saved bits here and there from bank accounts i.e. what's left when a new payday in one of my jobs comes round.
Had to spend £93 odd on a car service and a bit of repair work so my savings got a little dent, but still got about £530 saved ready to pay off my credit card 2 in November when the 0% ends. Just need about another £200 and I'm there.
Been going great guns on Swagbucks - making about £20 a month in a mixture of Paypal payments and Amazon vouchers. Been using the Amazon vouchers on birthday presents which has made the last couple of months easier financially.
Right, on with the job interview presentation...
About Me
- The Debt Girl
- I'm single, broke, and in my early 30s... but thankfully decided a while ago to sort my life out once and for all; in particular to sort out my finances, and to move forward into a debt free life. I'm hoping writing a blog will help spur me on through my social life cutbacks, my successful and not-so-successful attempts at dating, my new addiction to the Sainsbury's Basics range, and the general insanity caused by the stress of money troubles.
