We have a modest lifestyle, modest income and modest bills.
Yet today I met the limit on my overdraft and didnt even realise, shamefully being told.my card had declined whilst christmas present shopping
DM who I was out with just kept saying "welcome to the real world....we are never out of our overdraft" and other such reassuring comments.
I am quite upset. I get paid next friday, and the mortgage came out today, but I will have to scramble round to find some loose change for petrol for work and may open that old tin of beans in the back of the cupboard. But I am so disappointed in myself.
Two.months ago I went back.to work after maternity leave, and we scraped through SMP so I thought we were going to be better off.
Not sure what I wanted from this thread....jist needed to vent, I think.
