Debt Diary of an Idiot - Final Chapter...

Hobsch

Day 3 - Weds 26th Sep 2007

£21.50 paid to Capital One and £20 to Lowell Financial for the JJB card. This bought up two 'landmarks' - Capital One going below a £1000 and the JJB one below £400.
Had to get some new drugs after visiting the doctors - almost £14 spent which was a bit annoying but health is important.
£25,857.27 in total currently owed.

Day 4 - Thur 27th Sep 2007

Paid my £43.33 to MBNA - not without hassle. Dont you just hate the swines. And as I currently have some extra I paid off the PayDayUK loan of £102.40. I was currently paying them £20 a month but at least it gets rid of them.

I'll explain more as I have to rush off to work but both of the above are @rseholes and I cant wait to not have to deal with MBNA.

Days 5,6, 7 & 8 - Fri 28th Sep-Mon 1st Oct

Due to working very late Friday night and then heading to Newcastle Saturday and returning Monday (for Great North Run) had not been online.
Some extra money was spent on food and drink when up North but nothing excessive - nothing over the top. Nothing to report DFW wise but wanted to make sure I got back online and made sure I kept this going.

Thanks Lunar - I always like to reach these little targets - I hope the 30K one is reached soon for you.

What about a prepaid certificate for your prescriptions.

The current cost is:

• £26.85 for a 3-month PPC: if you need more than 4 items in the 3 month period
• £98.70 for a 12-month PPC if you need more than 15 items in the 12 month period.

My husband has one as he takes 5 different drugs a day and one extra weekly and they only allow him a 1 month supply at a time.

And I have a feeling that sometime next year they are allowing you to pay for the 12 month one over 10 months.
