Meaning I paid £250 towards that today and
£98 towards mum's loan (this was done before I found about the mix up)
I'm going back into my overdraft this month by the looks of things, however it's cheaper to do that rather than pay nearly 26% interest!
So my total pad for today is £348 yikes!
You know what? Life happens! remember the mantra tis not going down that's the crime but staying down
And you fantastic people have chipped away at debt and savings to the tune of
£11,151.91
in October - you should all be very proud of yourselves for taking positive action however small a step it may be sometimes. I now hand you over to cfuc-mike for November and let's hope it's a good one even though there are plenty of other calls on our money at this time of year.
Yeah I remember this very well. I got debt free in October. By January I needed a new bed - I had no monies for one. Even now I thank my old social worker for getting me a new bed that year!!! Ok so someone had died in it....but its a bed! When I had a few more pennies later in the year I also got a new mattress and eventually a head board (£5 I think? charity shop)
So if you're worried you have no monies for PAD or can only pad a little - cheer up! 2 months and it's January!!!
Happy Guy Fawkes for tomorrow!
Have a good weekend folks!
