salad??? ooo ooo ooo! me, me, me!!!

okay, so... to pay off credit card and old overdraft I have worked out the following:

if I throw the following amounts at them, I can wipe them out pretty quick:

100GBP per week CC & OD cleared 19.10.2007
110GBP per week CC & OD cleared 12.10.2007
110GBP per week CC & OD cleared 12.10.2007 (but a smaller final payment than above)

something to aim for....

I have a suggestion which works well for me.

I've created a spreadsheet which lists all my DDs and Standing Orders and the dates they go out. I also have a space on the spreadsheet for a tick. Every month on payday I print out a copy of this and blu-tack it to the bathroom wall. When a DD/SO goes out, I tick it off the list. This way, I'm always aware that DDs are about to go out.

Hope this helps - it sure does for me!

(PS: More than happy to swap debts if you're interested )

tee hee - this really tickled me and I have no idea why ... maybe its because its glued to the bathroom wall! genius though - you'll always look at it at some point in the day hehe

oh blinkin' 'eck!!!!!

Had a STUPID weekend.. very busy and expensive.
I managed not to spend too much, but i FORGOT about payments going out Friday / Monday.

so, now I have 3.85 and half a loaf of bread at home to last me until Friday morning! :mad:

I'm dead angry with myself for forgetting my Direct Debits... not like me at all...

Tonight my OH and I are going to see my folks and they are doing us a dinner so no spend there.

Tomorrow OH is taking me out for a special dinner, so again, no spend.

Thursday.. ekk! hmm, I hope I can get something cheap!

as far as breakfast and lunch is concerned, that should be fine (sarnies and cereal).

SO angry with myself!!!

okay, rant over!!!

Looking at this your quite fortunate that you have peeps that are looking after you when things are in a tight spot.

So todays Thursday - what are you going to eat ?!?!? in Tesco's they sell blue and white stripe 'supernoodles' for 8p a packet - we always have these in the house for snacks - so handy - hubby loves them - good job too I say. My mum and dad are off on holiday tomorrow so I have to look after the veg plot at the end of their garden for them while they are away - so again SALAD anyone :-)))

Would love some of your salad stuff DB but unfortunately I am off junction 7 on the M27 so think it may be a bit far to come!

:beer:

Oh thats a shame GreenNinja as I'm sure there will be a few marrows rippening while they are gone (and other stuff) ......... now I just need to find a website that tells me how to make wine from our 2 grapevines that have gone mad this year then it will be party time .........

Hi LP

I lifted this quote from a post of yours earlier on: "I didn't spend any money as such ... (it was direct debits)". Well, trying to find a silver lining for you, the fact is that you remembered the direct debits *before* they left your account, you didn't withdraw your usual money because you knew that would take your account to a bad place. So, you've actually made a brilliant save! Any good?
