Well done on the 10 items looks like we are going to have to get listing this week, you need £220 and I need £250 to pay the rest of DS school trip. Why do they leave it to the last minute to ask for that sort of money it's not rightMARCH 2016 DEBT £25750/ £25035

Hi, Just a quick one. Had a rough week so been Dr's and had my medication adjusted to get me through the next few weeks.
Went to RSPCA today and have reserved 2 kittens.The house is just too quiet but we are not ready for another dog just yet!!
DD's have just told me I haven't paid for the trip to France. Assured them i had - made the 2nd payment on the date it was due and the third payment a day late. Anyway it's done via internet and when I checked the second payment hadn't gone through!!!! So just had to pay £150!!!!!:eek: The school have sent home letter for next trip and want payment in full by 5th November - £110 eachProud to be dealing with my debts,light bulb moment: 2/1/2010, reviewed 7/1/20120 -

Hi, Been crazy busy over the last few weeks and at times just plain crazy!!
Ran out of money about an hour after payday and have been trying very hard to survive since then.
DD's second trip is just somewhere in England. THey wouldn't let me 'shame them' by phoning the school and trying to wrangle paying in installments so put it on cc, then did a balance transfer for 0% for 6 months! Going to France at end of November - they have suggested spending money of £50 each, guess that is next months family allowance gone!!
Collected the kittens today -cost £120:eek: but that does include their vaccinations and neutering costs. Couldn't afford this at all today but the house is just wrong since the dog went - keep thinking I can still hear him - so needed some animals around again, so put that on cc too:( - (covered with transfer though!)
Anyway dh is finally starting to come round (albeit slowly!!) Has been asked to do his Saturday evening job weekly instead of every other week and has said that he will start giving me at least half the money for Christmas presents ( previously it has just been his spending money) He's also put his name down for overtime. Just need to stop him spending now!!!!!;)Proud to be dealing with my debts,light bulb moment: 2/1/2010, reviewed 7/1/20120 -
