I went to ASDA to buy some food and went to pay for it by debit card and they told me my card was declined. There was this great big queue of people behind me staring at me. The woman was like "I'll have to get the manager"....so the manager came over and at first she said "maybe the card is dirty. Sometimes the chips don't work if they get dirty". So I tried another card from another bank and that was declined too!
In the end I had to put loads of shopping back and pay by cash.
Everybody was staring at me, I was spretty mortified. It took ages to sort out.
I went to the cash machine afterwards to check my balance and I'm £500 overdrawn
Had a bit of a panic attack then thinking how am I going to cope for the next 2 weeks until Phil gets paid, so we had to drive over to MIL's house for her to lend us £100.
Our financial situation is seriously up the creek at the moment
