Took my eye off the ball financially and now we're deeper in the poop... cards stand at:
Card 1 - £1,894.79
Card 2 - £890 (0% until May 14)
Card 3 - £1991.19 (£500 is OH's car deposit, £926 is car insurance, £433 is car repairs, £100 is owed by my parents)
Total - £4775.98
We had to use the car insurance money to pay bills last month and we're also stuck in our overdraft to about £300 each month until I get my first full wage back to work at the end of February which will then cover that. So need to get comping, try and trim the budget again and really stretch food and petrol money as far as possible.0 -

Not as bad as it could have been but we were also deep in the overdraft when I got paid today so this month's task is food on the teeniest budget possible for the month...0 -
