Living for payday!

Hi Everyone! I have been battling the debts since Aug 09 and every now and again I just fall into a slum, unfortunatley this is one of them times 
I knew this month was gonna be tight but now its here im just finding it so hard and I just want it to go away already and April to arrive, hate wishing my life away like this!
I know it sounds so simple but I want to be able to go into a shop and if i like something just buy it there and then, instead im scrimping money together just to get from one payday to the next.
Think im feeling more down as my husband noticed the tyres on our car were bald yesterday so I need to get them changed ASAP which will be around £100 (i think) of unplanned payment! so now I am trying to figure out where I can get this from.
I paid the CC at the end of the month in Feb but because I did it online it took 2-3 to credit the account and as gone down as a late payment so thats peed me off also!
I could go on but I wont... I know im just feeling sorry for myself and need to get a grip, I know im lucky to have had my LBM and that i am now making headway with the debts albeit it rather slowly! Just wanted a little moan!
Thanks for reading xxx

Hiya Muffin,
I hear you loud and clear, the last spending of this month went at the end of last week, now I'm clinging on till payday a week friday. Cupboards are reasonable, and I've got some asda vouchers if I need food, but in terms of real money, I've got £3.50 in the wallet and about £1.40 available in the bank account! Car expenses are always a nightmare if they don't come at MOT time. Can't be too good on the advice side of it sorry, but things will find a way of sorting themselves out, just keep plugging away.
All the best
