I've put your names and totals on the 2nd post!


Thank you all for your kind messages regarding the funeral yesterday, it was a very tough day.

Today I was meant to be going to a craft fair but I got the date wrong so it's on sunday instead . At least my money will be in my purse for a day longer though. Since it's such a beautiful day today then I think I'll go for a lovely walk around the reservoir rather than the shops and see if I can bag a NSD. xxx

Morning, and welcome to all the new members! Good job on the NSD today!

6 days till payday!

Sorry

Hiya, my first ever post after lurking for a while, please put me down for £4118.32 to pay off by xmas 2012. Nerve racking stuff posting on here but I know it will help me in my quest to be debt free

Hi Shellgsxr,

Welcome to MSE and the thread

We're all in this together. It's nerve racking, but liberating

Morning all, just had a shocker of an O2 bill come through at a few pence short of £60 instead of under £30... oops! The calls to lying total scum bags had eaten over 120 minutes which put me over my limit
I went over last month too, so going to keep a close eye on it this month and use the work phone instead hehehe

Yeah, what scum bags? Banks or is it men?

Hope you are OK though. What kind of phone do you have? Is there not a call counter which you can check to make sure it doesn't happen again?

lying total scum bags = lloyds tsb

I've got an old sony ericcson, I was meant to keep a track of it this month as it was another £60 bill last month but forgot. Oh well, I will learn my lesson this month, honest!

Just paid £70 to wescott, but yet again it was just moving debt around from them to my credit card as I received a threatening letter this money grrr.

Ah, I thought it would be the banks - usually is!

Don't think about what's happened - think about what you can do next to make a positive change. Today is a new MSE day

Thanks greensaints, I'm going to list some toiletries on ebay to try and get some pennies there. I've currently got 7 items with bids totalling £11.20 and they don't end until Tuesday, yay.
