hello all....

well, its been a while since I posted... things got kind of out of hand, but now it is time to get back on track. I was so frustrated and we went on a binge and now I feel real bad about it. So now it is time to work the problem again. Anyway, one thing I'm really peefed about is one thing. I saved up 50 Euros and wanted to snowflake it toward my visa-card and guess what... I couldn't do it. They said it is really a big thing to do as far as paperwork goes and not so easy to make extra payments blah blah blah and if I really wanted to do it. So of course, nice person that I am, I said okay, I wait till I have a larger sum together and then we do it. So now I put the 50 into my savings. I am so disappointed about that. It would have been great, if it would have worked. That is frustrating. I'm gonna keep saving my snowflakes now and when I have a larger sum together, I'm gonna snowflake it toward the visa-card. Hopefully it works then.

Anyway, I promise to be good from now on and to post more and not to get frustrated and run up a credit card that we didn't even want to use ... the end of the binge is about 1300 Euros in the hole with a new bill. That means my husband has to touch his money in the States, which was supposed to go toward medical bills and has to help me pay down that stupid card too. grrrrr. Although.... hmmmm, maybe I can snowflake it toward that card.... and then after that one up the monthly visa-card payments. Hmmmm, got to think about that...

Thanks for being here

Just put your 50 Euros with your next Visa payment this month or in Dec. I don't see why an extra payment would be a hassle for them but I'd just send it in w/ my regular payment anyway--I'm certain that they will cash the check hassle free. ;) Don't get so down just get back up again. I do this all the time and it seems I'm always picking myself back up again. Sheesh...;)GL

hello sweetjumps,

doesn't work that way over here. If it would work by check no problem, but over here everything is direct deposit. So in order to pay extra, I have to up my monthly amount, which I plan to do as soon as we can afford it. I have no idea why it is such a big deal either. Why I can't even do that online ... shouldn't be such a big thing, pay the amount to my visa account and that is it. I think I have to look into that... maybe write Visa and ask.

Thanks for your reply though. Feels good to talk to people in the same boat.
