If My Pennies Were Pounds...

Woowoo

I do really feel for you, it's so unfair and yet your left trying to manage everyones feelings to save arguments, when she is simply in the wrong xx

So 136 days until I'm debt free and no loan payments made for 5 days

Oustanding balance is £571.51, that's £4.20 a day then... :eek:

Sister mentioned transferring money on Saturday but still no sign of anything...suprise suprise.

It's so hard debt-busting when Christmas is just around the corner and you need to seriously think about buying presents...really don't want to fall off the wagon though.

Currently got £32 on an expenses claim, will be submitting that this week in time for pay day next Friday...blimey, where did November go?!

November not going fast enough for me pennies - I need my pay check!

If_My_Pennies_Were_Pounds

Saying that it is still a week on Friday! Just feels weird being in the middle of November already!

I'm tight this month too EB, more due to Christmas shopping than paying my debts though

If_My_Pennies_Were_Pounds

Still no money from sister, 135 days to go!

On the plus side, just met the threshold for another £10 to paypal on Lightspeed, so that will be winging it's way to the loan once it comes through.

Also just handed in an expenses form at work, another £32 for the loan once it's paid...

Slowly slowly catchy monkey, pennies :0)

MustStopSpending

Hi Pennies, glad to see you are keeping up the good work. Are you going to use your £2 pot towards it in the end? That's a massive chunk you've got saved there if so :-)

If_My_Pennies_Were_Pounds

Hey everyone, sorry not been around for a few days, was off work Thursday and Friday since we had family over from Saudi Arabia for a visit.

Back to work today though

Not sure about the £2 pot MustStopSpending, OH wants to put it towards a new TV for the bedroom.

Bit upset this morning, need some perspective from you ladies please.

Sister has just been approved for a £8000 loan, has phoned me this morning to say she has traded in the car (the one she hasn't paid for yet) and is getting a new car on Wednesday.

Her £8000 is planned for the car, the wedding, new house and the baby. Am I unreasonable in asking for my outstanding £300 when she has already told me that their new car and insurance came in £500 under what they had budgeted? I haven't asked yet by the way...

Kepp

Not at all, you have been more than reasonable so far!

I'm sorry, I know she's your sister, but I would be so mad, I'd be on the phone straight away telling her to get a grip and pay up!

She's got a cheek phoning you up to tell you all about her loan and the money she's saved on the car etc knowing that she still owes you! :mad:

If_My_Pennies_Were_Pounds

To be honest I've been more upset than mad, been in tears several times over the whole thing.

I feel like I shouldn't have to ask for it, if it were me I would be giving her the money as soon as the loan was approved. But we're obviously two very different people right now.

I just want it over and done with now, I spoke to my mum and she said that I should just ask since she mentioned that she came in under budget.

There's a part of me that is getting excited at the thought of £300 going off the loan, but I know better than to get my hopes up
