    Maz - if you cut yours up I will hide the debit card for my second account. I used it far to much for christmas shopping and it's now like carrying a tie bomb as I know the pin number!!!!!!!!!!

    It's not safe to be carried on me.
    Current debt - £16,300 :(
    Debt at worst 17/03/2011 - £18,067.62:eek::eek:

    i think January will be a tough month for everyone around here, not only do people get into more debt but there are things like 5-6 weeks until the next pay day.

    I am due a payrise at end of January, so that'll help immensely..... I shall not get into more debt, i shall not get into more debt, i shall not get into more debt........ repeat to fade......
    I'm just a seething mass of contradictions....

    I have a very safe place I can keep it. i don't need it and only really use it because it's there.

    I leave work at 4.30 so will check in later.

    How about freezing it? In the middle of a big bag of water.

    By the time you have defrosted it the temptation should be over.

    I was dreading that 5-6 week and then this week we found out that my ex won't be paying any maintenance so that leaves me in effect £400 down on usual monthly money and that gap!

    Did I mention its my birthday in January too that should slip away not noticed - I wish companies would not pay wages early it really does not help!

    Have you given the card 'the snip' yet, Maz? :confused:

    If any of my experiences, or the knowledge that I have gained from those experiences, can help anyone who finds themselves in similar circumstances, then my experiences have not been in vain.
