I am trying to be productive today and keep my mind off the fiasco with SLFC. I had signed up for auto payments from my account in the amount of $360. Not surprisingly they debited my account today for $505.50. It's not devastating since I do have the money there, but it is frustrating. Phone calls to the company again are going unanswered. I fired back a third response to the BBB about how appallingly bad the customer service is and I encouraged them to try calling the company themselves so they know I'm not just making this up.

Last night we went to Nate's parents house for my "birthday" dinner. His mom was going to make lasagna, but at the last minute Nate told her to change it because I can't eat cheese. :( I felt totally guilty, and not only that of course she asked me how I was feeling, which is something I just don't want to talk about.

I finished my Christmas cards this morning, as well as ran some errands. I'm struggling a little to stay on my budget this month, since I had to get quarters for laundry, then had to buy stamps for Christmas cards, and now I'm buying a few Christmas presents here and there, exclusively for Nate's family since my family already decided NO Christmas presents. I have a good budget set up to begin anew in the New Year. I knew it was going to be a struggle to begin a new financial plan halfway through December since December is always an expensive month for me.

But, as soon as December is over, it is GAME ON!

Job search is still going. One of the places I applied actually told me they "lost" my application temporarily. Then they found it again. rolleyes We will see if they call me for an interview. I did talk to someone for a little bit on the phone. I also called back about a PT bank position I had applied for. I left a voicemail message and nobody has gotten back to me. How hard is it to say NO? Or even better, YES? I'm in the same place I was a month ago, if anything I'm just more frustrated.
