I might have made a mistake?!?!?

in Bankruptcy & living with it
Hi All,

Here is my error... my husband and I were given some Christmas money from my grandmother as she can't really shop around for anything for us. The mistake I think I've made is that we chose a camera on ebay to buy with it and paid by card planning to put the money in the bank. Is this going to cause me a problem with the OR?? I can't believe I didn't think about it at the time. It was £150 so not a huge amount but I'm worrying about it now.

    Yes, went BR on 15th Dec. The account I used was the co op one that is for our day to day living expenses.

    It wasn't credit card. I paid by debit card and will put the money from grandmother into the same account. I'm just worried that it will look bad for me to be buying a camera at all. Will the OR want some of the money??

    Phew, thanks debtinfo. I was a bit worried that the OR would want to take some of the money from my grandma cause I have to put it into my account now. I would've felt terrible having to give away what she gave to us.
