Stressed, Depressed & Seeing No end in sight

Hi Brody, how are you doing? Did you talk to your parents?

I'm a bit confused here. Is this your current SOA or for when you move out? Have you moved out? Are all these things your half of the bills or the total amount or what? It's just you said that it was just your income and debts- what about the gf - is she able to contribute more to the household bills so you can debt bust or is she paying debts? does she earn more? I think it would be fair to split the household bills in half (or proportionally according to income) and then each pay their own debts etc.

You need to find out what the water and c/t will be. I would imagine the water will be about £40 a month?

I think you need to do a more accurate SOA even if you just estimate things - just to give you a rough idea for now. Council tax you can look up on a website somewhere what the band is.

Moving this week, so should be able to update it once we hear from the council tax people etc.

Haven't spoken to my folks yet, as we got a bit of bad news about my gran at the weekend.

2008, helluva year!

Brody sending you a hug, hope everything's ok. :grouphug:

Brody, just checking in see how you are?

Been better, unixgirl - suffering from a lot of stress at the moment, everythings getting right on top of me.
I should be saying "yay, it's payday" but nearly every penny is already earmarked.

Starting to look into training courses, but not holding out much hope.

Hi Brody, how are things? I saw your last post, yes I still get months like that where every penny is earmarked. You will get through it. Why not check out LearnDirect see if they have any free courses?

Tried skills-train, but turns out they're just one of those ones that try to send a sales person to your house & pester you into sigining up for crazy sums of money!

To top it all, looks like the xbox 360 chucked it last night!
Won't have the money to fix that either!
lol

Chin up Brody, my friend's Xbox 360 is like that, switch it off leave it half an hour come back and it's fine. Hope yours turns out to be ok. Give Learn Direct a go and tell them you just want free courses, Business Gateway in the centre of town do some free courses too.

Naa, got the "red rings of death" on my xbox, so that's it packed up to go back to Mr Gates (2nd console!)

Emailed Learn Direct, they want me to ring for a free learning consultation....

Only got paid on 26th July and already down to £400 or so til next pay day!
And I have 2 birthdays before that time.

Birthdays - you dont need to go mad :-)
Depending who they are could you get a couple of 3 for 2 offers from Boots or m+S
People know your moving so shouldn't really expect much
