Late

I'm going to be late with a card payment this month, I get paid on 29th, payment due 28th. I thought I was over this sort of thing, clearly not, all I can do is phone them this week and advise.
This has got to be the last time it happens.

While playing with my blog settings this morning I notice Adsense has decided to make the most of my Christmas ramblings about turkey. However I'm not sure that villas and cheap flights to Turkey are what my targets are ! I think some tweaking is needed, as the other ads I see are debt reduction companies, not something I approve of.

Know the feeling of being late!

Finally caught up with me in December.

Avoided bankruptcy by going through Consumer Credit Counselling for a debt management plan.

Okay, I'm going to screw my credit rating until I'm not far off retirement (6 years bad credit rating beyond settling the debts - which will take 10 years!).

But feels a whole lot better. The temptation to use a card is no longer there, and I just need to get by on what we earn.

Maybe one day I'll make some money from AdSense? If I could find the time, I'd maybe get more than the $5 a month that I've averaged so far!

Ashamed to admit that I caved in on the smoking!

Going to have another crack very soon.

well don't feel bad, I miscaculated my new payday and that combined with the extra travel expenses means I used my credit card, my emergency fund and didn' make my full mortgage payment... at least there is next month.

Is Charls King bothering anyone else? It's spam right? He's been sending me emails every week.

I'm just trying to make sense of adsense at the moment. A true novice here and it can be so confusing.

I have no urge to use my cards either. Don't think it was ever an urge, always a necessity ! Terrible thing is I've had one of them for nearly 22 years....

I'm really going to to have a close look at my adsense set up, I think I prefer tradedoubler.

I'm still fighting the smoking battle too.

I guess the blips and miscalculations are part of this journey, if it was easy I guess we wouldn't be here.

Nobody's perfect and nothing is ever smooth sailing. Look how far you've come. You're able to admit your mistake, pick yourself up and move on. Things will get better because you're making things happen for yourself.

I'm pulling for you!
