The younger among you may not know of these problems yet, but the older ones most certainly will...
Why is it that whenever you think you've gone quite some way to paying off debts, that something else happens to land you right back in the crap?
I have owed about three grand on various credit cards for the last eight or nine months. I've been paying off bits here and there, and have got it down to about half that now.
At the beginning of the week, I was able to pay off a large chunk - £500 - from one of the cards, halving what I owe on it - which made me feel pretty good.
Now, for the last week I've been on leave from work, and as I cycle to and from work (I don't drive), I put my bike in for a service. The bike was ten years old, and without going into detail, it's basically knackered.
So I've had to buy a new bike. As it gets a lot of use, there's no point me buying something cheap and cheerful which will break in a few months - so I got one for the equivalent price of my old bike. Just under £600, which - you've guessed it - has had to go straight back on my credit card.
So I'm back where I started. :-(
How depressing is that?

It's only stuff that's been necessary - I always pay cash when I can, and am very careful with them, believe it or not!
