Why is it, whenever you try and put money away, something always comes along and you have to start again? :rolleyes:

I've had to pay the best part of £400 for car repairs,so now no savings and no money til payday.

Only six months to save up for my wedding in April, and keep paying my debts. Oh dear!

    Yes, you're right. A year ago i would have done, but I guess I've finally got into the MSE way of thinking!
  • I guess it's just one of those unexplained things.

    It always happens to me. I think I'm getting somewhere money wise then BAM something will come along out of the blue!

    Well done for not using the cc though!
