So debt stands today at
£2800 (friend 1)
£1200 (friend 2)

Oh and just to add the 5K isnt what I've actually borrowed more than half that is interest payments ie. the £2800 was for £1400 I borrowed to move. £1200 was a £500 borrowed and same for the other £1200.
With " friends " like yours, who needs enemies?
With an apr of 120%, that's marginally worse than a payday loan company.Fred - Where's your get up and go?

oh,you shouldn't be so generous, thats a massive interest rate, you have children, that money should be for them.... 50 quid would've been enough to pay on top of the loan!0

I know, its the only way I could get the money though, and I was desperate.0

If they're really friends they would be happy with 50 or 100 extra not 700 from a single mother.
Anyway, we do what we have to do (I'm not judging)

Thank you
It saved me in the long run of alot more expense, and allowed me to pay the £100 a month so I wasnt short and scrimping like I was this time 12 months ago iykwim? so in the long run yes it is alot of extra but better than where I'd have been if I hadnt borrowed if that makes senseXx

Not a NSD just nipped for bottles of water, becuase our waters running a horrid brown why they seem to be fixing a huge leak. Yep a huge leak thats now helping the [STRIKE]puddle[/STRIKE] river outside my front door all the way up the hallway :mad::mad:

Morning all hope all is well?
A small payday today (I get money Tues/Thurs every week then montlhy too) Anyway no debt being paid becuase one of my mobile bills came out and it was £93 :eek::eek: expensive mistake there!! I do have 2 contracts becuase I use alot of minutes so ones £15 a month my "main" one, and a sim only I swap to when I run out of mintes thats £7 month becuase with quidco and the monthly bill of both worked or cheaper. Anyway I went over by 233 minutes:o Expensive lesson learnt!
So today is going to be a NSD. No food shop needed as did it Tuesday (waiting on £11.70 being redfunded for stupid subs I recieved)0
