Fell of the wagon this weekend ;-(

Options
I have been running my own DMP since January this year and have been making a decent size dent in my debt.

I went to London on good Friday to meet up with family and a friend who had come over from Ireland for the weekend. We where best mates for years before she moved back.

Anyway I completly overspent and had nothing:( to show for it but a few hangovers. I went back to my old ways of paying for rounds in clubs with my debit card and have now recollection of how many times I did this. Looked at my bank balance on Monday and have literally just enough to pay my bills / debt with this month and I dont get paid again until 24th May.

Just feel really bad for spending so much on so little. Last month was the first time in I don't know how long that I had money in my bank account on the day before pay day.
Total Unsecured Debt at October 2018 £29,411
02/20 £ 6,374:j

    Next time, set a budget, take cash and leave your card at home.
    make the most of it, we are only here for the weekend.
    and we will never, ever return.
  • There's no point in beating yourself up over it. Just concentrate on keeping within budget for the rest of the month. And next time, keep the cards at home :D
