over all I spent roughly 90 Euros in groceries, medication, and unnecessary stuff. I am so angry at myself and so disappointed. Well, we have got to do better on that. I already told hubby that we are going to stear clear of the DVD section at the store.
This afternoon I'm gonna go to the bank to negotiate a deal to up my overdraft, so I can work my way down. Sounds like a paradox, but I figure, if they send bills back, I'll never get it all straightened out, if I up my overdraft and am able to pay the bills on time, I have more of a chance to get the overdraft down.
I do have all my bills paid off now (except for those that are reoccuring of course) so that frees up an extra 50 Euros a month starting next month. Which we'll put toward getting the OD down and the piggy bank already holds roughly 15 Euros in "snowflake" money. And end of this month I get a raise... yeahhhh... over all I'm looking at 100 extra Euros, hopefully and I think if we can discipline ourselves, we will be able to get that OD gone in no time. When that is done, the next project is the CC.

Must be something in the air--we visited family in Alabama and ended up spending WAYYYY too much money, mostly because on the way back it took us six hours to drive what normally takes three hours, and the traffic, which had been stop-and-go for hundreds of miles, showed no sign of letting up, and the kids were screaming their heads off. So we ended up spending the night in a hotel, and of course eating dinner out. Yeesh. Then we finished the remaining three hours of the trip this morning.
Not looking forward to accounting for those expenses... I am just so glad to be home finally, though.
Hello Heather,
I know exactly what you mean. Although I should look forward to the all-expenses-paid trip to London with my mom I dread it, cause I have to spend money there and I feel guilty evertime I spend money, which of course comes AFTER I spend it and not before. I hate it. I think being in debt is beginning to make me sick. I dread spending money, matter of fact, I live in a state of dread because bills have to get paid and I'm afraid I won't have enough money to pay them and what if something goes wrong, I won't have any money to fix it and and and. I told my husband the other day I want to be out of debt. I want to be able to guilt-free go out to dinner (and not just McDonald's or KFC) or buy a DVD or a nice skirt and not to have worry about that a bill may not get paid, because I bought this now. The worst part is knowing that there is nothing I can do about getting out of debt but wait and I hate waiting. I feel really helpless.
