My two boys usually spend their summer holidays with their grandma. As a working mom, my mother’s unfailing devotion to her grandsons is a total god send as I never have to worry about organising (or paying) for childcare during the school holidays.
This summer however is going to be different. After England’s disasterous performance at the World Cup, my boys have decided that their country needs them and so they have enrolled on a football skills summer camp convinced that this will result in them playing for England at the next World Cup. Since they are only 7 and 10 years old, this may be a little ambitious but never one to want to quash their dreams, I have agreed that they can go to camp.
It wasn’t until I found the letter stuffed at the bottom of my eldest son’s PE kit that I realised the level of expense that I had committed myself too. I had an even the bigger shock when I was completing the enrollment forms and learnt that I had to pay the entire amount in full, for both boys before the end of the school term. This threw me into a blind panic as I had just paid for our family holiday and didn’t have enough money in my account to pay for the summer camp as well as feeding us for the rest of the month.
I discussed the matter with my husband and since neither of us wanted the boys to miss out, we decided that I should get a payday loan as this would enable me to pay for the boys’ summer camp and then simply repay the loan as soon as I got paid.
I was surprised by how easy it was to apply. Once the boys were in bed, I went on-line and used Google to search for payday loans. This brought up a list of uk loan providers and I chose a company offering to credit my account within the hour if I was approved as this meant I could withdraw the cash on the way to taking the boys to school. It took just a few minutes to complete the online payday loans application form and thankfully I didn’t have to fax anything because I was able to scan and upload copies of my id, payslips, proof of address and bank account details. This saved me the hassle of having to use the fax machine at work! In the time it took me to make a cup of tea, I had an email from the loan company informing me that my payday loan application had been approved and the money would be credited to my account within the hour.
It was such a relief to be able to go to bed without worrying about letting my boys down. The next morning, I stopped off at the cash machine and took out the money to give to the boys’ teacher for their summer camp.
Not only are the boys delighted to be spending their summer playing football but my mother has decided to treat my Dad to their first summer holiday since the boys started school.
