Lucielle's Daring Debt Free Journey
DFD Before we Die!!!! Long Haul Supporter #1240 -
I know you do Lucielle, I'm determined though if anyone's going its him!
My egg account has transferred to Barclaycard, my egg savings (all 20p of it) has transferred to Yorkshire building society. (I may transfer my 20p and close my savings). B-card have moved my payment date for my egg card from the start of the month to the end of the month meaning I will have made 2 payments this month! Not quite sure if that's a good thing or not.CC2 = £8687.86 ([STRIKE]£10000[/STRIKE] )CC1 = £0 ([STRIKE]£9983[/STRIKE] ); Reusing shopping bags savings =£5.80 vs spent £1.05.Wine is like opera. You can enjoy it even if you don't understand it and too much can give you a headache the next day J0 -

He wants to borrow money off me to cover the dd's. I'm fuming. He could have left paying the extra until he gets his first wage!
So he's paying off his debts by using your money, such that he'll end up debt-free and you won't?

Debt update, after fighting with barclaycard (they took over Egg), I finally set up a payment. Had the person on the phone banking system trying to sell me a loan to pay off my cc but couldn't guarantee I'd be accepted. I think keep battering on at the moment and apply sometime next year.
I've also decided anything I make from cards and hampers is going to debt. Egg (BC) is nearly gone then I can work on the others.

Oh, I also took my £1.20 out of my Egg savings and plan to pay that to Egg debt. Pennies I know but still.
I worked £270 of overtime but will lose about half to tax (better than nothing I suppose and will use that to pay my Mum back what I owe her and hopefully there will be enough for my MOT). Hoping to get some overtime this month. Onepoll is slow beyond belief. Vivatic is very slow now its gone to minimum £25 payout and only getting pennies through from Quidco (Although planning to get SS.... not that he really deserves anything.. an AA gift membership and I'll get £21 back through quidco.... Is that bad?).CC2 = £8687.86 ([STRIKE]£10000[/STRIKE] )CC1 = £0 ([STRIKE]£9983[/STRIKE] ); Reusing shopping bags savings =£5.80 vs spent £1.05.Wine is like opera.

Ok seems BC will still take the direct debit for Egg only they are definitely taking it early. I paid a few pounds to it last night not realising this.CC2 = £8687.86 ([STRIKE]£10000[/STRIKE] )CC1 = £0 ([STRIKE]£9983[/STRIKE] ); Reusing shopping bags savings =£5.80 vs spent £1.05.Wine is like opera.

I personally would buy step son nothing, nada, zilch. Sorry but from what you've posted, you must have the patience of a saint to put up with what you have. I also think the time has come to put yourself first. Take care
