Bob the Builder

Chardee MacDennis

Professey Chin

Im gettin broke and have **** loads to do in jan. Fuppin country with its stuff to do

homerun_homer

This Crimbo has been very kind to me financially in terms of what I spent. Come new year I'm thinking I deserve a nice holiday for myself.

RxQueen

well im not getting paid til the 27th of jan , its going to me a LONG few weeks

Terry

€50, although I'm owed a few hundred (if I ever get it).

I think I'll be quitting smoking at the end of the week.

TestTransmission

Im doing pretty good actually

connundrum

Thank fook I get paid fortnightly, next pay due the first week of January!

That said I didn't fare too badly over the Christmas. Spent €80 between the 24th and 27th of Dec which must be some sort of record!

samhail

was dreading getting paid in the middle of Dec and having to wait until the end of Jan until next payday - espicially after buying a car ! but doing better than most months !
hmmm i wonder if i forgot to buy anyone presents.

Heyes

cant check my balance as there appers to be something wrong with Banking 365... ill try again now and probable cry

Edit: checked again and its actually not too pad, hoping pay rise comes through in Jan and will hopefully get a bonus at some point next year.... its sensible time for 08 - got to learn the skill of saving ?! ?!?!!?!!?!!?!

Pyr0

Have about a grand in the bank after christmas ! Happy days

gazzer

Moneywise I have done very well this xmas. I started saving back in Aug so had a fair bit put away and had a good bit of money left over after buying all the xmas pressies(thanks to online buying and a weak sterling). On top of that I only spent €40 euro between Xmas Eve and last night so still have money left over to spend in Enniskillen at the sales tomorrow

Trinity

Seriously contemplating selling the car, think that answers your question

MJOR

i'll put it this way.............. i'm going on a diet as in spending as little as possible until 24th jan.. which is payday

m5ex9oqjawdg2i

Have quite a bit in the account, but it's for bills and unforseen emergencies etc etc. I should be ok until I find a job :P

marti101

Not a pot to piss in totally bankrupt at this stage.Hopefully getting paid Wednesday and childrens allowence next week should tide me over.:(Hate being this poor.

Sharpshooter

I got 2 weeks wages just before christmas , and actually refrained from spending the second one.
I put it away somewhere safe ( not that it was a huge amount ) and now I can't find it.:rolleyes:
Let me tell you , " You can be too careful ".:o

I was so broke christmas week that i was over my overdraft! so, I had to make a little trip to the credit union to make a withdrawel to pay off Acc and of course, money for drink! But, like the biggest kick in the ass ever, I got sick, ( I am still sick! ) so I havent been out once over christmas yet. As a result, I still have the few bob I withdrew... My tax on my car is out of date since october, have not got a penny to pay for it as it went up to 380euro this year, but im living in hope that i get better for new years so i can spend that money and feel like i had a bit of an xmas!!!! :pac:

Can you not ues the money you got from credit union to pay tax? I pay mine every 3 months i cant afford to do it for the year.

stovelid

My kid has been poorly all Christmas, and I caught it on Christmas day. As a result, I'm relatively minted. That said, I'll just end up spending it in the sales.

Neamhshuntasach

I've been in countries for the past few months where beer is around 80 cents, a meal around 1.50, accommodation a fiver, 1 hour bus journey around 40 cents.

If you wanna save money go traveling. I would have spent way more over here.

Blush_01

I have my bill money in cash in the apartment, I have the money for my rent and both of my loans in my current account waiting to be taken (was actually surprised that the money was still there when I checked my account online, thought it would have been taken this morning). I've also put enough away to keep me going until the 25th when I get paid.

I'm pretty much ok, even though we got paid a week early (which I hated). I got taxed my entire christmas bonus, so I had nothing extra in my wages for christmas, and my birthday, my sister's birthday, christmas and a few nights out meant I've socialised a bit more than usual in the past few weeks, so I'm kind of impressed with myself.

Thats it, priorites

My friend once sat in my place with his head in his hands saying his car tax was 6 months out of date and he didnt know where he was gonna get the money. I nearly hit him on the head with a heavy object, he was only after stepping off the plane after a 2 week holiday in fcuking Hawaii and was heading off to manchester for the weekend 2 days later :eek: :pac:

Yeah, **** this sickness lark.

I tried to get drunk last night, but could only manage 3 cans and I still feel like I'm hungover.

I'm hoping the disprin work so that I can finish off the cans tonight and get started on the ones my neighbour just dropped in.

Also, even though my whole body is sore (especially my lungs) and the fact that I coughed so hard last night that I puked, I know it's not the flu.
People who think they have the flu and take anti-biotics when all they have is a cold really piss me off.

Disprin and cranberry juice is all you pussies need.

Disprin is the best. My mother swears by it. No matter what your complaint is its "take disprin". Mam i broke my leg, take a disprin, mam i'm pregnant, take a disprin, ma my leg fell off, take a disprin you'll be grand

I dont think a cold gives you such a cough, you could have a chest infection. If you wont go the doc (but you should), Get yourself a bottle of exputex (cough bottle) in the chemist, it'll loosen the gunk.

Hate those coughs, cant lie down, cant breathe, throat like shreds of glass, stomach muscles aching with every cough, just wont stop

Baxk to the money thing, I just remembered that my lodger pays me tomorrow and I get the rent for the back garden on Wednesday.
Nice.

You rent out your back garden?

I paid my rent today. Hence why I am almost broke. 1300 fcuking euro. It physically hurts me to give her that money for the kip. I'd sooner live in your back garden

A friend rents it from me. Stores his work crap there. I wasn't using it.

Just told him to throw me a few quid whenever he has it, but that I wanted beer money for new years eve.

He did a lot of work on it, so I don't charge him too much.

Mrs_Doyle

I get paid fortnightly, so my last pay day was the 17th Dec. I'd say I might have spent about €300-€350 since then and I get paid again this Wednesday, so I'm all good.

I was off work the 23rd, 24th and 25th of Dec, but I've been in work every day apart from that, so I guess I haven't had much opportunity to spend my money.
However, I finish work at 1pm on New Years Eve and I'm off for 5 days after that, I think I'll make up for lost spending them then

Azureus

eugh, i have just paid my ridiculously expensive esb bill, (electric heaters killed me-thank god we have central heating now!! )
got paid on the 22nd dec which i mostly spent on xmas pressies with a lil left over for new years, and now dont get paid again til 28th january!!!?! i hate monthly wages! especially seeing as my rent is due on the 18th jan.

eep!
cheaping it up new years and beans and toast for awhile me thinks!

m83

240k in the bank, i be alright

NullZer0

I forgot the pin number to my bank account and requested it just before xmas! I still haven't received it so Im safe! ha

antodeco

Ive 1800 in my account. Have an overdraft of 1k. Things to come out:
Rent 500
Life Assurance: 150
Savings: 750
Car loan: 300

That wipes out the funds! Credit card is 850, so leaves around 150 for the month of January. Cock.

AnonoBoy

Still living on my Christmas bonus.

Ginny
