DH's salary hasn't gone into his account today. He started a new job in November so this should have been six weeks salary. And it's just not gone in.
If I'd known in advance that he wasn't going to be paid we'd have been OK but I thought he was about to get a fairly big pay packet (2.5k +) and so I've not been as careful as I should have been - most of my salary (I get paid much earlier in the month) has gone on Christmas and short term loans to DH which we thought he'd be able to get back to me when he got paid.
Now it's Christmas Eve and I have £50 in my bank balance and he has nothing. The payroll department from his company have gone home for Christmas and won't be back until 29th.
We have credit cards but no savings - he was unemployed for a year before he got this job and it depleted us quite badly. Could my bills go out via dd over the Christmas period? Are we about to have things bouncing?
And is there any way anyone can think of to resolve this? He's the most senior manager in work today (skeleton staff due to holidays) so he thinks there isn't anyone he can call.
We should be able to meet most of our Christmas obligations due to credit card but that is making me feel a little sick as we've had awful credit card debt in the past and only finished paying it off last year and now we're falling back into bad ways again.
Please someone tell me I'm being U and this will be OK?
