How, When and Why to Get a Payday Loan

A payday loan is a short term loan that is intended to cover a borrower’s expenses until his or her next payday.Payday loans, also known as cash advances, can easily be obtained by submitting an online application form. These forms usually take less than five minutes to fill out.Once a payday loan lender receives your application, they will call you to verify the information you provided on your application form online. They will also verify your employment and any other source of income you may receive. Individual companies have their own rules. Some companies require you to have held a job for at least 6 months and to have an active checking account of at least 3 months.After verifying your personal, employment and bank information, the cash advance lender decides to approve or reject your loan application based on their criteria.While most companies have a long list of requirements, some companies have very basic requirements. You must be at least eighteen years old, own a bank account and have a job (making at-least $1000 a month after taxes).Once approved, cash will be deposited directly into your checking account as early as the next business day. You have all the freedom you need to spend your money the way you want to.Now that you have spent the money you borrowed, the question is how to repay the loan and fees. In most cases, you do not have to do anything, the loan repayment and/or the loan finance charge is electronically withdrawn from your bank account on your next payday.You can turn to payday loans when an unexpected expense occurs or you are short on cash and your payday is days or weeks away. Payday loans can bridge the gap between paydays and can make any day your payday.For people who have less than perfect credit or no credit at all, a cash advance is the easiest way to get money.

Shoe Repairs And Several Other Things When I Was 7

Shoe Repairs And Several Other Things When I Was 7
My Dad repaired most of our shoes believe it or not, I can hardly believe it myself now. With 7 pairs of shoes always needing repairs I think he was quite clever to learn how to “Keep us in shoe Leather” to coin a phrase!

He bought several different sizes of cast iron cobbler’s “lasts”. Last, the old English “Laest” meaning footprint. Lasts were holding devices shaped like a human foot. I have no idea where he would have bought the shoe leather. Only that it was a beautiful creamy, shiny colour and the smell was lovely.

But I do remember our shoes turned upside down on and fitted into these lasts, my Dad cutting the leather around the shape of the shoe, and then hammering nails, into the leather shape. Sometimes we’d feel one or 2 of those nails poking through the insides of our shoes, but our dad always fixed it.

Hiking and Swimming Galas
Dad was a very outdoorsy type, unlike my mother, who was probably too busy indoors. She also enjoyed the peace and quiet when he took us off for the day!

Anyway, he often took us hiking in the mountains where we’d have a picnic of sandwiches and flasks of tea. And more often than not we went by steam train.

We loved poking our heads out of the window until our eyes hurt like mad from a blast of soot blowing back from the engine. But sore, bloodshot eyes never dampened our enthusiasm.

Dad was an avid swimmer and water polo player, and he used to take us to swimming galas, as they were called back then. He often took part in these galas. And again we always travelled by steam train.

Rowing Over To Ireland’s Eye
That’s what we did back then, we had to go by rowboat, the only way to get to Ireland’s eye, which is 15 minutes from mainland Howth. From there we could see Malahide, Lambay Island and Howth Head of course. These days you can take a Round Trip Cruise on a small cruise ship!

But we thoroughly enjoyed rowing and once there we couldn’t wait to climb the rocks, and have a swim. We picnicked and watched the friendly seals doing their thing and showing off.

Not to mention all kinds of birdlife including the Puffin.The Martello Tower was also interesting but a bit dangerous to attempt entering. I’m getting lost in the past as I write, and have to drag myself back to the present.

Fun Outings with The camera Club
Dad was also a very keen amateur photographer, and was a member of a camera Club. There were many Sunday photography outings and along with us came other kids of the members of the club.

And we always had great fun while the adults busied themselves taking photos of everything and anything, it seemed to us. Dad was so serious about his photography that he set up a dark room where he developed and printed his photographs.

All black and white at the time. He and his camera club entered many of their favourites in exhibitions throughout Europe. I’m quite proud to say that many cups and medals were won by Dad. They have been shared amongst all his grandchildren which I find quite special.

He liked taking portraits of us kids too, mostly when we were in a state of untidiness, usually during play. Dad always preferred the natural look of messy hair and clothes in the photos of his children.
