In the past mine and ohs birthday/xmas money has always gone on bills.:rolleyes: Its my birthday on wednesday and i know ill probably get £30/£40 which i was hoping to get a camera with. BUT my bank account is overdrawn (because of their stupid charges) so ill probably end up putting it in my bank Have you ever had to pay bills/debt with money youve recieved as a gift? Have you made a conscious decision to put any 'gift' money towards paying off your debt?

Sorry, don't think I read your question fully... yes, if you are overdrawn and going to incur charges then yes I probably would use birthday money to stop that happening.. then when back in the black, treat myself!!

Hope you had a good birthday regardless of what you did with your money. _party_

I say yes yes yes. My 30th birthday money bought me an NHS root canal (and also paid for the subsequent extraction as my tooth broke in half during the procedure).

Worth every penny to not have sore teeth, although it did make me feel very very old to be starting to lose my teeth :rotfl:

Hope you have/had a lovely birthday.

i have done yeah, even christmas money went to the cc, my thing is theres nothing that i really need so the cash would just normally spent on crap

I used to pay my debts before I got my budget under control, I think it was during my semi lightbulb stage, I would pay some towards my OD, now everything is sorted and all on low LOB deals I can manage my budget a lot better.

Now as I do not ever buy myself new clothes or haircuts I spend my birthday money on that.

Happy birthday btw
