  • Hey Smarties!

    Good Luck with the job on Monday!! I bet you'll love it when you're there!

    Hope you sort out the problem with the mice... even reading that thread is making me feel a bit funny and panicky! I can only imagine how you feel... I had a fly problem when I came back from France.. blue bottles about 20 in total I killed but think they're gone now... still makes me feel funny to think about it.. I think it's because I'd left the house for a week and stupidly hadn't put the rubbish out!!! :(

    Ugh just read about the beheaded mouse... :S

    Anyhow enjoy your time off!! :D

  • Thank you everyone, well i hadn't heard from the pest control as promised today so i phoned council again and the woman i spoke to hadn't done whatever she had to do, so the pest ppl didn't even no i had rang....so the woman said sorry and promised someone would phone me in the morning, they better do coz i am at work on monday. I am totally skint, have no pennies wot so ever in my bank, roll on the 27th wen i get paid and get my holiday pay!!! xxxxx
  • Only 4 days until your pay day then! I'm sure it'll go fast!

    How annoying that they didn't phone - It's like when you take a day off work for a delivery and they don't show up - do they not realise that we have lives to live!! Hope it gets sorted soon!

  • Hi everyone, yeah they phoned this morning and came and laid traps and poison. She is coming back next week to see how things are going, on Thurs when i have my first day off.

    Yes pay day cannot come quick enough, i literally have no money. My rent was a day late ( never happened before) and i am going to be charged £20 not had a bank charge for many months.

    I was going to pay quite alot of each debt but i think i will use the holiday money to pay the minimum amounts of this month and keep the rest in the bank as no doubt i'll be short at some time during the month - don't want ne more charges.

    I usually check internet banking in a morning, but with new job i won't be able to until i get home. I never have any money in the bank just "incase" something goes out, thats how skint i am......so hopefully Monday i can manage and then on Tues shall have to make sure each account has spare in just incase something goes out.

    My friend is going cinema Sat night and asked me to go, for her birthday....i will have to say no sadly, i am gutted. Its times like this i hate been in debt its crap.
  • Good luck with the job today! Saying no to friends is the worst part of being in debt for sure, but I'm sure they understand! :)
