Thought I was DF - what a numpty!

Ok, so I had my spread sheet all worked out - credit card balance at the top, all my credits added on, all my OH's, all our payments, and by my reckoning I had £160 left to pay on Fri.

BUT today my CC bill arrived and when I showed my fella what he had left to pay, he said it was too high.

Some working out later and it seems I forgot to add on my car insurance, and messed up a couple of other bits, so infact I still owe £615.

Very annoyed with myself.

I do have maths issues, but still...

Good job I hadn't done anything pre-MSE foolish like quit my second job or buy out Topshop.

    Sorry to hear that you have another bit to get rid of. I did a similar thing last week when I forgot about a £2000 credit card. Felt like a right fool!

    Fingers crossed you will get rid of the rest of it soon!

  • I had a little sniffle TBH.

    Hopefully I can blitz it off in three payments and still be DF for my 30th in September.

    I was just really looking forward to having a little spare cash this month, or not having to work a seven-day week.

    Hey ho.
