neave Posted September 26, 2010 Share Posted September 26, 2010 Is there a worse feeling than when this happens? I've got it pretty easy and get paid weekly every Friday. The money went in on Friday as normal, and as of this morning I have ?8.02 in my account. It costs me just under ?6 a day to get to work, so I'm going to have to do what every man dreads, and get a sub off my mum. I went overdrawn for two days last week (for only the second time ever) and have paid through the nose for that, as well as for a missed direct debit, a phone bill, League Cup tickets and money to eat. ******* rank.

P-Dizzle Posted September 26, 2010 Share Posted September 26, 2010 A couple of bad betting runs have put me close. During the world cup, I chose to put a few bets on and go without busses or lunch for two days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Konrad von Carstein Posted September 26, 2010 Share Posted September 26, 2010 For various reasons I have, for several months been massivley overdrawn to the extent that at one point I was ?1000 overdrawn on the day I got paid!! Getting it under control now and have reduced the overdraft enourmously i still need it especially for the dreaded 5 week month! but hoping by the turn of the year I will be better than cash neutral on payday. Lockily I have afree o/d facility and an understanding client manager at RBS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vlad-Stupid Posted September 26, 2010 Share Posted September 26, 2010 I get paid every Thursday. Couple of weeks ago I managed to spunk a full weeks wages on a 18hr session wrapped around a trip to parkhead. Drank enough to probably kill an elephant, woke up Sunday morning in my maw's house( nae money get back to town that night). Had to sub 60 quid off her to eat and get myself to work the rest of the week. To top it off I had a 4 day hangover. Bad times, never again, Parkhead can GTF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't actually know it was going to be a 5 week month, as I'd not long been in the job. I wouldn't have paid my digs 1 week in advance if I'd known I wouldn't be paid.

Snake Plissken Posted September 27, 2010 Share Posted September 27, 2010 I get paid on the last working day of the month which means I always hope the last two days of the month are a weekend. I still have ?120 left to do me until Thursday. I'd much rather get paid weekly. I was unemployed for a few months last year so I learned how to survive on next to no money. Bringing your own lunch to work saves the cash, I often double up on meals - I'll make something and stick half in the fridge for lunch/dinner the next day. Last week I spent less than 30 notes on food, such parsimony during the week allows me to blow most of it at the weekend. I'm a fiscal Jeckyl and Hyde, a tight arse Monday-Friday but I'll happily blow a large slice of my wages at the weekend. I also like to buy myself something on pay day to attempt to soften the blow of the most of spirit-crushing tedium I had to endure for the past month. I haven't been in my overdaft since 2007 (I had it at ?2500 at one point ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
