I am so sick of money -i got my pay on friday-it has already all gone on bills and i still need to pay another £200 before the 4th oct, it's my nephews birthday on tues then y oh n wed (which i promised we would go out for as the kids are being babysat):rolleyes:
I asked my mam to sell soe stuff on ebay for me but as she has to pay a fee and the money would be transferred in to her bank (then eaten by o/d) she refused, can't have carboot sale or sell anything on amazon, have £20 from quidco coming, but i'm gonna need this to buy gas and elecctric for the meter.
oh still smokin and the more i get stressed the more he smokes.
worked out that i need to pay £300 (if i manage to pay the £200, £500 if not!)more out than i get paid next month too!(party for child-already booked:rolleyes: )
It doen't matter what i do i never manage to get anything paid off!
It's getting me so down the fact i can't cut anthing else down and can't make anymore money, i got paid £40 more than last month even though i did 26 hours more because of tax:wall:

Just curious. Why do you need your mum to sell stuff on ebay for you. Why can't you do it?

There must be some way you can save. Perhaps post a SOA on here and others can help you

I like a good rant - always makes me feel better afterwards:D
I'm sure that when you calm down, you can sit back, prioritise and compromise.
Good luck

Don't understand that bit.

26 hours @ minimum wage = £130ish. Tax and NI would take maximum £30 off that, so that's £100 in your bank account. Where did the rest go??? (figures rounded for fag-packet calculation factor!)

because i don't have a p.c.only use one at work and aren't even supposed to be on here!;) so if i started trying to photograph and sell stuff i think i might get wrong!

at present no car=no car boot! lol
because i need the money by the 4th (9th at very VERY latest) no time off work now so no chance of doing that!

Now I see.

Does you mum live locally. Could you set up your own ebay and paypal account and then sell the stuff yourself. Or go to your local library and use their computers. Just an idea. I find ebay great for getting rid of lots of stuff and making some extra money.

your first problem is you need to find the black hole thats eating your money, you need to list every penny that goes out, you need to cut everthing thats not a life neseccity (sp?) (been working to long) you need to setup a bills account and pay all bills money to that account FIRST when you get paid and use the rest for food debt very few little treats.
