  • Got a letter from the bank saying from Dec 09 they are charging the way they charge interest to my account. From Dec 09, ill be charged £1 a day for being in my overdraft, would have been good at one point when I was paying over £50 a month in interest. Will pay off as much as I can I dont want to pay £30 a month for having a little overdraft.
  • Got a pretty good wage coming on Fri, need to buy birthday presents during this week. Very busy with work, barely anytime for myself. Have a million loads of washing to do and general tidying up to get done and not really had time to check my budget properly.

    Wont be long til im cashing out £5 and £10 from the scratch cards.
  • More shifts booked in...
  • well done on the extra shifts! It'll all be worth it if you can get rid of the overdraft before those charges start coming in!!

    Ye I know, they are trying to pull a fast one ! If this was the case Id have saved 20/25 a month when my overdraft was at its highest and now when its getting lower they are managing to make the interest higher ! Madness.

    Fire Fox, getting enough sleep is a challenge these days let alone buying things :eek: I still havent managed to buy the birthday presents I need to get by the end of the month which isnt great, I hate leaving birthday present buying til the last minute.
  • I have somehow managed to get 16.50 bonus on one of the bingo sites i use for the scratch cards, nearly up to the claim amount of 10 aswell. Anybody know the best way to use the 16.50 bonus to make some money ?

    Amazon, Amazon, Amazon!! :j Free delivery on their own stock, and they sell EVERYTHING from shoes to kitchen utensils. Customer care is pretty good too.

  • Not even had a chance to check Amazon, a post on here and a quick check of my online banking is about all i can manage before going to bed these days.
