  • I ONLY OWE CREDIT CARD £71 YIPEE:j :j :j :j :j :j :j :j
    What a relief but now panicking about paying overdraft as there are alot of people on MSE saying that come review day their entire overdraft has been pulled- my review date is due in July09, so it is soon!!!
    My overdraft is £3500 (first £300 interst free) so I need to get it cleared.
    How likely are HBOS to take this away from me?

    Hi Kym, I am getting there at last!!
    Clearing my credit card for good on Friday (I get paid)
    Clearing off the last of the money that I owe my mum
    Paying £200 to the overdraft.
    I have put lots more on ebay so I am hoping to throw that at the overdraft as well.
    Thanks Kym, I think you are the only person who reads this lolxxxx

  • Hi! i have just read your diary and think you are doing brilliantly! We never had an overdraft until we had kids and for the last 5 yrs have lived in a permanent state of overdraft. What has really helped me is this site, we have been paying £25 per month just in interest on our overdraft and it's money that i would rather we had than the bank! I have worked part time only since having the kids and hubby works every hour god sends!, i have been keeping a spending diary and that has really helped too (amazing our little things add up!). All the very best! :beer:
