Santa's Grotto???

[Logan's Mum]

When's the Grotto opening?!? Less than half a year to go until the big day, I'm excited already, haha!

 

[LoraLoo]

Me too ive done most of my shopping i cant wait for the grotto to open!

 

[wildflower79]

Can't wait for the grotto too! I've been thinking about things to get for my girls, but haven't bought anything yet.

 

[LoraLoo]

Ive done my Xmas Eve box, all the stocking fillers, all my friends kids, my Mum n the dog 😂

Ive almost finished Alice and Nellie n the rest are well on their way.

Ive started my Xmas food hamper and have over 10 items so far. Im buying extra every time i do the weekly shop.

Im totally chuffed with myself. Starting wrapping this week and hoping to be conpletely finished n done by September x

 

[SmartieMeUp]

I don't think I want Christmas this year. I feel sick. I'm stuck in an embarrassing payday loan loop which won't be paid up until December and it's wiping out my part of the disposable income. Grand total of payment will be £50 short of double the amount I originally borrowed. I took it out for DD2's birthday fund as OH couldn't (didn't) contribute. I daren't mention it to him.

Do you have a local credit union? If you do please look into them...their rates are so low n help you save too. I first got mine years ago when my car broke... i paid something like £1100 back on £1000 loan. Ive saved woth them ever since x

We do, yes! I've emailed the application form off, thank you! I hope it gets accepted. Applied for £700 which will wipe out the early repayment of £675. I originally borrowed £650 and full repayment total is £1246 - £207 a month x

I am currently overwhelmed by how much my son needs when he starts school in September I cannot even begin to think about Christmas

However, I am excited for the Grotto to be opened

Smartie hope you get your situation sorted soon ! I start my Christmas shopping in September when the kids go back to school . Determined not to buy as much this year ! Half of it has not been played with !

 

[CaptainMummy]

These companies are bloody awful. Sorry you found yourself in a position needing to turn to them

Another option would be a family member who may have access to 0% CC offer? Money can be difficult between friends/family though which I learnt.

Fingers crossed for your application
