I was doing so well, everything was paid and I only had about $15 in my bank account but again everything was paid, we have food, diapers etc...so I didn't need anymore money until I got paid on Friday. Low and behold, I forgot that I wrote $150 check to the lady who did our flowers for us, I postdated it for the 20th because that is the day I got paid, I didn't write it down and it completely slipped my mind, so now my bank account is negative plus they charged me $20 - I cant catch up This is so frustrating Sorry I just needed to vent!

JessC replied: Oh that sucks!

I hope things get better soon! Is it your first time doing that? Cause if it is, you can ask them if they can take it off, my bank let me do that the first time I overdrawn.

My2Beauties replied: Thanks for the hugs guys! I'll get through it, it's just frustrating when you work all week and try to make an honest living and pay your bills and stuff like this happens. It's my own fault so I'm not blaming anything, just my forgetfulness it just came at a bad time! Thanks for listening everyone!

coasterqueen replied: I know how you feel. We can pay bills (not any more than minimum) but there's not a whole lot left over for anything else. It's us doing little things that always eats our money up. I don't know how SAH people do it because I think I spend more being at home than if I was at work! Dh said if I don't go back soon he's gonna force me too.

I'm here for ya. I've got $15 to my name until 15th of June

I really would call your bank and ask them to remove the charge. You could even mention it was for a wedding expense that you forgot to record... people are always more generous to newly weds. All they can do is say no, so it is worth a try. DH also calls our CC company all the time to ask for lower interest rates. Sometimes they do lower it and sometimes they say they can't. But, it is always worth a try.

My2Beauties replied:
I will try that! Thanks!

JAYMESMOM replied: It can be frustrating and weddings get expensive. Hang in there and it will all work out.

SOUTHERN MOMMY replied: Don't beat yourself up i'm sure you were busy hopefully your bank will take off the charges.

mama3x replied: LeaAnn, believe me I know where you are coming from. All of our wedding money went to expenses and other bills which is really sad because we didn't get a honeymoon or anything like that. We still have to juggle things around and well, that's another post.

I've been there a couple of times and my DH is more forgetful than I am so things can get really hard.

Don't stress out too much (I know, easier said) because it's done. Now you know how upset it made you and can work to avoid it next time. to you, and lots of understanding from me. Good luck with your bank!

Take care!
