  • Hi Red they can take your money but they cant take your sence of humor eh? What is your shortfall each month?x


    HEY STRANGER :D

    Crossed posts - just said £750 minimum which is not a lot to take as a wage and we could afford for him to take twice that (he probably already does, it just goes to panic bills and emergencies!)

    As I have said many times before, the lack of regular money is the main problem. This also is the most stressful part because then I get in a panic and frustrated and upset.

    So maybe girls you have helped my find my major toxin! Its the irregular income stress!

    Hi Red

    Hopefully life will get easier once you have cleared the business debt and if you can then start taking the £750 at the beginning of the month that would eliminate a lot of the worry that comes with the juggling.

    I think 2011 will be your year x

    I don't think I will manage to clear the Lloyds card by July, unfortunately I will be about £2k short I think, not worrying about it though as you never know what good luck might come your way.

    Then after that it's my £2900 overdraft, also with horrible Lloyds.

  • And then you and laborious Lloyds will be no more :)

    Ebay Central here today - but don't think there is much point starting until this evening. I am going to step away from my usual - 'everything on for 99p and see what it does' style and list stuff at the minimum I want to get for it.

    So far I have 9 bids making total of £28. I have 18 things ending today and I want £5 for each of them - big ask but have put it out there!

    Hi RMC, I have just read all of your diary in two sittings, and have been fantisizing about apple and blueberry pies with piping hot custard!! I love your writing- really funny and very readable, and I think we must do a similar kind of job- I'm not a qualified social worker but I do social work.

    Hopefully once you have caught up with the business debts, you will be on top of the income- you have cleared a great big chunk off your debts already since the start of the diary! xx
