getting debt free

12/08/2011

Im making some good inroads into getting debt free now I've recently completely paid off my greenwood (was costing £50 a month), gas&electric bill from the old flat (also £50 a month), and have only about £40 left on one phone bill with orange and about £20 with another, so Im gonna phone those companies tomorrow, check exact balances and probably pay one of them off completely. also got only £7 on my studio catalogue, unfortunately got £130 on the choice one but that's not bad. the worst things that are left are the big ones - loan, credit card and overdraft - all in all, about £4500. I'm with a debt management company but Im also making my own payments on top to get them paid off a little quicker. after the new year Im gonna start setting up DD's to go alongside the DM program so i can get them sorted faster.

in other news, I've spent a few days writing up a new CV. I need a new, proper grown up job. I definitely want to quit asda and depending on what I can find, I may have to cut back on the days I do at Dominos. it's a lot of travelling and stuff. but the experience I'm getting there is vital, management skills are looking great on my cv. so I may still be doing two jobs, but at least I may not hate one of them any more xD

finally I've started looking into a houseshare somewhere in Cardiff. won't be able to afford to move into my own place, plus i think I'd get lonely. house shares are quite reasonably priced, around £300 a month which includes the room, wifi, elec&gas, water and council tax etc. so after the new year Im gonna look into that more. 2012 is a new start!!!
