The 'I want it NOW!!' debt/savings thread

Morning everyone, hope you're feeling a bit better this morning Hayley.

Nichlette when we went to centre parcs in aug, one restaurant we ate in didn;t clear the money from us until the beginning of the following month,and we went beg aug. I was expecting it for a couple of weeks and then I forgot about it. It was a nightmare when it went.

I'msure they'll take it from you at some point so keep the money

I think that will probably be the case yukki, but I think it would be a good idea if places had a time limit to debit accounts. I wouldn't care if it had come off of a credit card, but it's easy to see how people could forget about these things and go overdrawn.

Morning All

Hayley - I hope you are feeing ok today xx

Jen - Well done on your TV. x

I think i can say I am addicted to Boots 3 for 2 offers. I went in last night and got 6 pressies for £22. I even made them do them seperately so that i did 3 pressies for £5 together and 3 pressies for £6 together so that I got one £6 pressie free and one £5 pressie free.

And then this morning I went into a different boots and got 3 more pressies. :rotfl:

I just need to find something for my nephew now for his birthday and christmas. He likes colouring etc. and books. Not sure. Any ideas?

I already have got him a DVD for his birthday and a bucket thing full of choccies and christmas things for christmas.

Kind of wanted some bits and bobs you know just to add to each one.

He does like Ben 10 apparantly (?) as well.

I have no idea what ben10 is..my knowledge stops at In the night garden.

Have a look on ebay-they might do a Ben10 colouring book?? or a nice new set of pens /pencils...or a pencil case?

Hi guys,

Sorry for my rude long rant yesterday, i felt really awful and i think i just blurted out all my thoughts and feelings without thinking. I know we all have problems, and mine are prob no different to a lot of other peoples, but when your feeling that down you just think your life is rubbish and everybody elses is lovely and rosy.

I had a long think last night, and am feeling a bit better for it this morning.

My OH and I have sorted things out, it wasn't really an argument where it would break us, but its definately something that needs addressing. Only 2 and a bit more weeks left and then we will be in Las Vegas. Yesterday we received tickets for NYC, and tickets for the show we are seeing on Christmas eve there.

Thanks again guys for all your kind words.

Amy - well done on all your 342 bits, thats great. I'm going to one of the Boots events in London on the 23rd October, spend £50 and get £10 back in points. I wanted to go local, but my mother is dragging me to London instead, not been to Oxford St Boots in ages, but i can guess its always very busy.

Just done my sums on the snowball calculator and says i should be debt free by Feb 09 - thats made my day, my month in fact!!!
