Spending a fortune on "Super unleaded petrol" because the bloke at garage said it was good for my car...(pre internet days!)...then finding out 7 years later it was a waste of time. How many gallons?For what I've done...I start again...And whatever pain may come ...Today this ends... I'm forgiving what I've done -AF since June 20070

Beer!!! :beer:"A bank* is a place where they lend you an umbrella in fair weather and ask for it back when it begins to rain."
(*Unless it's Santander. The branch says they sent you an umbrella 3 times already and don't understand why you don't have it yet and want it back right now!!!)0 -

Not making more effort to pay off the debts a year or two ago when they were small and our income was decent.
Now were battling with increased debts, a much lower income and another mouth to feed (we had another baby because at the time we could afford it).0 -

Wasting loads of money on lunches at work, not saving more when I was living at my mum and dad's for three months when we were in between houses-with no mortgage payments to be made, my mum did the shopping and yet I saved nothing at all even though I was pregnant-what a great idiot! Also not becoming money wise sooner-i actually shopped at Waitrose when I was on maternity leave and paid an absolute fortune on their nappies. I must have been crazy!HSBC Visa-High interest-£2349.23 Nat West £2605.18
My Overdraft-£1500
Barclaycard-1089.77
Marks and Spencer card- 3331.30 next 92.67
Total was 11066.29 now £10,968.150
