  • Evening All!

    Had a really s*it day...

    The car didn't cost £70 to be serviced...it was £142.53 :mad: then the power unit on the computer stopped working so that was another £55 (both had to put onto a cc :mad: :mad: :mad:) then I forgot to give a friend her wee girls xmas prezzie.

    My Bank of Scotland cc has had over £400 in new debt added to it since 1st Dec...I don't even know how it happened as I've tried to be so careful so my plans to be cc free by May are well and truely f***ed :(

    I've not been able to do any banking today (due to the computer not working - I never wanted to start relying on the computer for everything but over the last few months it's become my best friend...whatever happened to cheques??) so I'll say another £2.00 for today but pay it tomorrow!

    Flower I was sorry to hear about your car accident, everything will still be raw and events over the last couple of weeks will still be playing a huge part in your life. I'm sure I speak for everyone when I say that none of us like to hear of another padder suffering. I'm sure your OH will stay strong enough for the both of you during your time in need but like Paul says...maybe you should try to get some support from an 'outsider'

    Hope you've all had a day that's been better than mine! x

    Sorry to hear that you have had such a rubbish day, and so close to Christmas aswell. But look at it from another point - if you hadnt have been PAD-ing you would be in a lot worse position.
    I am sure you will soon clear the extra debt in no time, you always do well and continue to be consistent with your PADs, it'll be gone before you know it!

    Aww thanks for the kind words, they mean alot.

    Your right OH is being my rock at the minute, and i feel quite bad as i can be quite up and down at the minute. Hopefully some outside help will do me the world of good.

    Hello guys and girls. Merry Xmas (almost)!

    Sorry to hear about the travel thing Euro, hope u are OK and will be over soon....

    Well, the rules of the thread are "check out anytime youl ike but never leave" - I am due to fly to Kuala Lumpur tmmrw afternoon (weather permitting) to kick off my Xmas holiday and heading to a mates wedding in Thailand...so checking out of the thread until the 8th Jan. Hope you all have a wonderful Xmas and New Year. This thread is fab, every single poster is in less debt than at 1st Jan 2009 so congrats to all !!

    So I'll leave my PAD for the rest of 2009...

    Yesterday (missed) £20
    Today £30
    Away from tmrrw through to 7th Jan (16 days) £10 a day = £160
    plus my HSBC loan due on Xmas day of all days = £319.28

    TOTAL PAD = £529.28

    See you all on 8th Jan!! Stay safe and be festive.

    Hi all, got scratchcard money through today so a pad of £11 between the 2 ccs.

    We finally got some snow today and was quite heavy for a while but stopped now.

    Got to go and do the Christmas food shop tomorrow night after work (weather permitting). This is the food for me, my OH, my mum, brother, sister and her four kids. :eek: Luckily everyone is putting money in but really not looking forward to doing it. I always seem to be the one who ends up buying and sorting the food for Christmas day. :rolleyes:

    Sorry to hear about your flight Euro.
    Hope you're feeling a bit better Flower.
    Have fun Andy. :beer:
