The "Pay ALL your debt off by Xmas 2012" challenge - PART 3!!!

jakes-mum

Thank you all for your support re: DH, he walked back in the door at 8:30am after having thrown up at work from the pain he had to hand in his notice to the foreman (not as bad as it sounds as the contract only ran till wednesday anyway).

I cant apply for ESA for him till monday anyway as he has to have been unable to work for 4 days (punished for fighting through bless him) but at least that means we can get the hospital appt out the way and he also has doctors friday so I can ask if they are going to support his claim.

Starnac: glad your first day back was ok though its horrible leaving the little ones Big hugs to DD, nowt wrong with a day cwtching up watching DVD's I do it most days :rotfl:

Sorry to hear about your OH jakes-mum. Hope a bit of rest will ease it for him. Hope it goes well at the doctors and they will support his claim.

Toy story 2 finished. We are now onto shark tale

Oh no, Jakes-mum, I'm so sorry the pain is so bad for him. I hope the doctors can help him.


Trying hard, I cannot image what you are going through but you sound so grounded about it, it's very humbling. You know where we are hun, I hope you get some good news soon xxx

Credit card bill came yesterday. Seems I owe £ 3460, slightly more than the £3050 my signature suggests though this does include £180 spends which have been added on this month. So if I pay off £411 on Friday, the only dent I'll have made in my CC will be having paid the £45 estimated interest. Not sure I can afford to pay much more than £411 really. SO annoyed with myself!

Oh sorry to hear that his missus. We all have times like this though so don't beat yourself up about it

We had a nice surprise today, having updated figures for tax credit peeps, they paid an extra £450 into our acct :j:j I didn't believe it was correct so phoned to check we are entitled to it and we are :j:j
So, I paid £120 to cc and will leave the rest to help out the undeclared overdraft from having a spendy month- insurance, mot, etc not nice treats
So new figures
No.069 £5138 / £7719 = 66.56%

Well it's day 1 of the summer holidays for me which means I've got almost 7 weeks to entertain myself whilst trying not to spend extra money! HELP!!!!

Firstly, I'm going to have a clear-out and see if I have anything left to ebay/carboot...finger crossed! Any more ideas for earning cash whilst I'm off???

Minimum payment to credit card 2 = £18.99

NEW TOTAL: £480.48/£2961 = 16.2%
