I had mentioned how DH and I sat at the table and worked out what is coming through August and September. I'm happy to say that one of my credit card companies called me today about making a payment, and I was able to get the papers and inform him of the date and amount of the next payment. It felt so great to be able to have a fixed amount and a date instead of "I'm not sure" and "I don't know when". So much less stress and anxiety!

DH and I spent two hours sitting at the kitchen table and "doing the money". We listed everything outstanding, the dates they are due, and then used the calendar. We started at the end of the month and worked our way backwards to August 3rd. Actually, this is how we planned our wedding; we set the dates and worked backwards with the calendar to find out what had to be done when. I don't know why, but it seems to work better for us. Maybe because the date/decision is already set and then we have to make it work?
It was pretty dismal, and we were in the kitchen because it required endless cups of tea, not to mention Advil. However, we did it, instead of putting it off, and now we have a fair picture of what's coming.
It looks as if we might make it through August and with a little manipulation, be up-to-date on the bills by the middle of September.
