Following Marks turn... a bit about me...

Am 35 next month (dont worry about turning 30 Mark its not so bad!)
Newly single and left in a bit of debt from ex from hell. Got a job I hate, am hopefully starting some new training for a better paid job next year to help reduce that debt quicker. Aim to be debt free in the next 5 years, hopefully less!

Hi Mark BTW, reassuring to see a fellow new chap here!

Hi everyone, how are we all?

I am just paying minimum payments at the minute until Christmas is over. It's really frustating though but I dont want to leave myself short for Christmas by overpaying too much now.

I am going to need a mini challenge for January to get me back into the swing of things. Has anyone got any ideas?

Im pretty much up for anything! x x

Hi all
just another little chat with with yorkshire plank credit card:rolleyes: ,
I set up an agreement to pay, set up standing order it gets paid before due date, its less than min payment but more than the interest so they won't freeze interest , and yet again on statement a late charge fee second time in a row

I've got them cancelled but will i have to call them everytime i get my statement, for me to tell them about the agreement and then for them dopey gits to tell me
Ohh you paid what you we agreed and when it was due, err I don't know why the charge was added you'll be credited with the refund on next months statement

was it a bit cheeky to say i'll call them on 15th next month to about late charge as you won't done my statement just to save time

just listening to the confusion of the opperator was brilliant :rotfl: they started sounding like Frankie Howard:D

just thought I'd share that

Thanks ISOM for sorting the numbers:T

ps i got a delivery from tnt today a couple of cds anyone want to buy them as I can't remember ordering them :rotfl:

I see there are some very attractive new faces in the long haulers! :grouphug:

:hello: :hello: :hello: Hiya lovelies!

I especially liked the "Hubby on Board" date in your sig Nelmer.

I'm Jacks, I'm 30-flippin-8 :eek: - but lots of my friends seem to be turning 40 at the moment so I'm feeling a bit younger than usual!

24th August 2006 I finally added everything up and found our to my sick shock and horror that we owed £96700 and change. :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek:


Then...just over a year ago in October I jacked in my F/T job and now I work P/T and mess about doing a bit of eBay and mystery shopping.

Because all my work related expenses have gone - such as a second car, and childcare, lunches, work socialising (Plus takeaway cos I'm too knackered to cook when I get in, ready meals cos I'm not home to cook for my family) etc we're actually a little bit better off.

We've cut down our spending a lot too obviously - but it's not forever. We'll be able to go to comedy nights and see bands again in a year or so according to Mr Snowball Calculator!

In the meantime it's girly dvd nights with lots of wine, every house party I can wangle an invite to and student nights out (£1 a drink and free to get in! Woooo! :dance: )

God. I do go on don't I????

Love Jacks xxx

yeah but the !!!!!!s lost what i was expecting :rotfl:



Sorry i don't get to post that often, and offer the support to everyone as i want to, but as you can understand work gets in the way of life :mad: .

but for some strange reason that silly thing with c/c seemed to wake me up, maybe i just needed to find my sense of humour again, and now talking to them all i will be thinking of is Frankie Howard:o :rotfl:

thanks all :A

poorbabe

Thanks for your kind words ISOM. I've just calculated my 'off the wagon' moment has cost me a shade over £400 today:eek::o. Will have to pull my finger out and starting Ebaying to see if I can recoup some it :rolleyes:

In_Search_Of_Me

oops poor babe, mind you its amazing how quickly you can spend that much isnt it! You'll catch up with some scrimping and next time you have the urge you'll remember adding this one up before you do it again! We didnt get here overnoght & neither will we get out of it overnight! these lifetime habits take time to change & become new behaviours! Look at that DFD Jacks, you're almost there!!
