by bordercollieWell what a day and age we live in. VAT is 20% no longer 15% everything is so more costly and wages don't seem to go up.
Well my finances have gone out the window completely. I have resorted to taking a letter in to the bank and leaving it for the bank manager to see if they can be of help. No matter which way you turn there is always something to pay out.
The overdraft is up the spout so is the credit cards just need bit of a break so now am waiting for a reply from them.
There must be more than me in this situation. Would be interesting to here of any out come to my posting.

Well at least you have mde contact with them so that is a start if nothing else.
On the other hand I have just telephoned my bank, well the card services of there section and just arranged to make payments of X amount of punds a month to get both cards down. I will get rid of one card and keep the other with the lower limit on it for extreme emergencies only.
I was putting off contacting them and it now feels like a great weight has been lifted.

It is getting more wide spread really where people are getting a little behind and things go wrong.
Everything is just going up such as food, all kinds of fuel is at a high and you have an all on to get by most weeks. Then when something dose go wrong that is when it can knock you back then it takes some time to get back on track again.
Hi Dog walker. I know to well what you mean about when things go wrong. I had just got on track with things when it went wrong again.
Came in dogs got to excited and knocked my glasses off. Well there goes £300 down the drain. So of course you have to rob peter to pay paul etc then it dose take a lot to get back on track again.
I have also noticed that food is more costly than ever so it is go for the very cheap stuff just to survive and get by. Petrol is getting crazy or more to the pooint is crazy again. You go to work and back and dare not go off any where else as it is so costly to do so.
The list is endless.
Oh the word pay rise seems to be sware words at a place of work now a days.
