Bills, Bills, Bills...

It never ends, does it?

Its bad enough having to fork out £200 for my phone bill, I got suckered into joining not one but TWO bookclubs that are both demanding payment of over £100 EACH as breach of contract for not buying 4 books as written in the agreement.

I didn't even know that I was supposed to be buying 4 books from them. I thought the initial books that I bought for about £1 each counted towards it.

Apparently not.

So right now, I am approximately £400 in debt. All within a year and the worst thing is, I don't even have anything to show for it.

I could have gone on two holidays with that kind of money. Or spent a whole lot more on food and shopping in Paris. Or buy more useless souvenirs than I plan to bring back from the Grand Bazaar in Istanbul. Or more shoes than I can ever need from Italy. At the very least, I could have taken a taxi instead of walking from Selfridges to Harrods (it almost ruined my brand new heels!).

No.

Instead, I have to spend it all on bills and debt repayment agencies with a stupid name like Commercial Collection Services.

Arghh.

I absolutely hate having to worry about money. I wish Orange made a mistake with the bill, or that I read the smallprint and was wiser to know that if a deal sounds too good to be true, it probably is.

So here I go, struggling to pay the bills. I don't know how I'll go about it, but if its got to be done somehow.

So help me God.

HELPPPPPPPPPPPPPP!

Haven't heard from you for ages!

Sorry to hear about your plight but I am sure there is a lesson in there for you.

Perhaps you need to seek a part-time job to raise some dosh?
