so far as some of you read in my other post. Work decided to pay me short. decided to let that ride and get it back on next months pay.
but as you can see from my sig i managed to pay £900ish off my debt this month.. i just had to tell someone
I have a trip planned with a few of my friends this month and with work paying me short i realy should not go. But this is the only 1 time im going to say stuff it. Its only for a weekend and i owe myself some playtime.
I know im going to have to use my creditcard to pay because of work paying me short. But its something i can pay back quite easy on next payday. im not going to go mad on my creditcard will only be around £100

Hi
Maybe this isn't what others will say, but if you know it's only going to be £100 ish and you know you will be able to pay if off as soon as work pay you properly, then go for it and treat yourself. Well done for paying off so much of your debt in a month.

I dont think this is a bad idea, I mean if you are getting the money next month and you know you will be disciplined enough to pay it back then I would:beer: Well aint funny how its the little things in life that mean the most? Not where you live, the car you drive or the price tag on your clothes.
Theres no dollar sign on piece of mind
This Ive come to know...
So if you agree have a drink with me, raise your glasses for a toast :beer:0 -
heh thanks guys i was expecting to get the NOOO dont if you cannot pay for it.
lynzpower the card sits in my wallet and if its the choice of going short or using the card i go short. My CC is now for anything major that needs doing. as i have no savings atm its all going towards my debt.0 -

I agree with the others - well done on paying off so much this month:T, and as you know you are only putting the money on your credit card temporarily, go ahead and enjoy yourself with your friends - pay the money off next payday when you get paid:D . Just make sure that you do pay it off and don't leave it to gain interest...;)
