Jak's 'I will not spend any money on rubbish and I will pay off my debts' diary

jak

We got a cheque for £25 for the baby today in the post so the baby will have £149 in his account! Brilliant! Also went on consumer pulse and earned enough points to order another voucher tomorrow so that's cool. I think we will get Debenhams £10 voucher as I used the last of our last one yesterday. Then my b-i-l can have his shorts for b-day pressie for free! Yay!

We are off to my friends house today but i'm feeling really tired as I was up all night crying after an argument with dh- ok now but feel really shocking...

Off to update my sig re: savings!

Well done Jaks you are really focused on your savings. When is your baby due must be soon?

jak

Hi! The baby is due on 16th July and I tell you what, i'm ready now! My house is really tidy and clean, we've got everything a baby needs, the napies from my sister are coming on Monday! Yay! Just need the baby now!

I'm a bit cross today...dh had his cash card back so he could get £20 out for his spends. He ten got out £30! grrrr. Now he's overdrawn. I am so annoyed with him! He makes me so cross. It is every single time! He said it was a mistake but honestly. Off to transfer £10 from the savings to cover it...

Hi

If the £30 was a mistake has he given you £10 back to put in the savings?

jak

He said it was a mistake and he's going to pay it back in to the savings. I'm just sick of it. It's every time he has to get money out. Every single time and it drives me mad! He's said he's sorry etc. but I just want him to stop it! It stresses me out and makes me really nervous!

Anyway, I transferred money from the savings to cover it and he's going to pay it in Monday on his way to work. Should also get an extra £58 from extra money too so at least the savings will go up eventually. Need to make sure we've got a couple of payments for the reg. saver in my websaver for the standing order. Still no sign of my mat. pay. It's mean;t to start on Wed. but I doubt it's going to. I'll have to make sure I call them on Wed. to get an update.

Not long till the baby comes now hopefully. I keep getting braxton hicks but then they stop. So annoying!
I've ordered another £10 voucher from consumer pulse- from Debenhams so that can be used for BIL b-day pressie.

Anyway, i'll update later if my day improves...

You gonna have to tell him hes got £10 less each time. My OH used to and still does on occasion seem to add £10 onto every withdraral. It used to make me so :mad: as if Im not going to notice .

These days I kinda of allow for it just in case. He is much better though.

Glad to hear your all ready for baby just make sure you get lots of sleep.

I think I will. It is so annoying. He knows it drive sme mad. It's as rgular as clockwork. The thing is, I think he should learn to carry his card on occasion and just get out what he's supoosed to. He is a grown up and he HAS to learn to use his willpower! It isn't that hard. He needs to grow up! I'm tired of being the grown up all the time! He needs to take some responsibility- on;y each and every time he does- this happens. Grrrrrrrrrr.

Do you let him read your diary? Maybe it would sink in if he reads all this in black and white how hard you have worked and still are to get you both on track with money?

I have tried that but it doesn't seem make any difference. I mean he's ok some of the time then others he just is rubbish!
actually we've had some bad news today. DH has hurt his foot and been signed off work for a week. This means he won't get paid for a week adn because he's no visa yet STILL he can't even get SSP and my mat pay hasn't come through so we'll be lucky if we can pay everything this month from wages alone. I'm feeling a bit sad about it really. Sometimes it just seems that no matter how hard you try..life still comes back to bite you on the bum...

I'll post tomoorow when I'm feeling a bit more positive and i've worked out bills etc. for August.
