Off on our adventure....Jan 2015

Thanks guys. I know we will get sorted in the end and I am normally such a positive person and such a believer in the law of attraction and positive thoughts etc, but I seem to have lost the knack at the moment.:( I got really stressed a few years ago when my mum was seriously ill and I ended up making myself ill, just caused by stress and I can see some of the same symptoms arising now, so need to get positive and I will be fine. I suffer from IBS, but it has been under control for the last few years but just lately I can feel it all coming back again, along with my colds etc! I am determined it won't make me bad again, but it is hard when I don't seem to be able to get through to OH. I am surprised to be honest as he wanted the DMP and I really thought that he would change a bit now....but obviously not. I tried telling him that I thought the stress of it all was what was making me ill, but he just made some sarcastic remark about how I was the one who wanted to organise it all! So when I said he could do it all if he wanted, he just ignored me and left the room!:mad:
He can't even seem to do the simplest of things....I re organised all our filing of household documents etc and showed him how it was all done and where it was. He gets paid weekly and so we have loads of wage slips and he used to leave them all at work and then bring loads home at once and just leave them laying around unopened! So I told him he had to start bringing them home weekly and filing them away....so what did I find today when I went to look for something??......wage slips from the last few weeks, just laying on top the filing system!:mad:
Then I asked if he had rung Lloyds yet about giving them permission to speak to me re his CC......his reply was that he couldn't remember me saying anything about it and he didn't know the phone number anyway!

Well things can only get better...:) Maybe I should just go away for a few weeks and leave him to it!:rotfl:

Well first payment taken by SC, so I really feel that we are on our way now. BC have agreed to refund the interest that would have been applied for the first 6 months, so actually making it 0%, then they will re look at it in 6-12 months time.

OH is still driving me up the wall! :mad: Still waiting for him to make 3 simple phone calls.....he sarcastically told me that the only way he could do them was if he had a week off work, as how do I expect him to have time for things like that when he goes to work??!!!:mad::mad::mad: So how exactly does he think I manage to do things?? I am out of the house for approx 35 hours a week...sometimes more and yet I have managed to sort the entire DMP including new bank accounts, make phone calls to creditors and banks, sorted out the problems we had with the new DD's. I keep up with the essential housework, washing etc, he always has food to eat and clothes to wear, I remember all the birthdays etc...(even for his family), I babysit for the grandchildren sometimes, do the shopping and still manage to fit in visits to hairdressers, doctor's etc...and in between all that I have had 2 nasty colds and feel really s**t! He says he works more hours than me....I agree he does, but he doesn't do much else...apart from sit at his computer downloading films and music etc and fixing his bike sometimes!
Well that's my moan over.....I feel better now..:rotfl:
Hopefully get some more stuff on Fleabay today and make a bit more money and then the plan was to clear out some cupboards, but not sure how much I will get done as I got up late and really need to nip over and visit mother in law in a bit and a quick visit to Aldi.
Have a nice day everybody:)

Hi Ploppy :wave::wave:

Great news on the BC interest - well done on winning that battle

I really do know how you feel about your OH and feeling like you have to be the grown up one who has to deal with everything all the time, and literally hold OH's hand just to get their bits done to move the DMP and interest/charges to where they need to be. I think you OH is my OH's twin brother:rotfl:

Hope you are starting to feel better:beer:

I think you are right....is he a Scorpio? Maybe its all to do with their star signs etc. Funny thing is, OH is a different type of person at work and is very confident and makes good decisions:rotfl:

Well we survived another week, but not without arguments!:( Only downer on the DMP front was Ll***s saying they hadn't had our payments and had therefore cancelled the agreements! So I rang up to sort it out and explain...again.... but of course they wouldn't do anything about OH's account as they didn't have permission to speak to me about it. She asked if she could speak to him but he got quite grumpy about having to go through all his security info in order to give them permission to speak to me..:mad: Still they have now updated the accounts, even though I had already spoken to someone before and they had already put the date the first payment should be received. For some reason though, I had to contact SC and get them to contact Ll***s again re OH's account as they said they couldn't update it without speaking to SC again as they had cancelled it!!!!

So apart from that all is well. Just feel we really need a break!

Hope everyone else is well and doing ok

Morning everybody. Hope you are all having an enjoyable Easter.

Has been a quiet week on the DMP front. Payday was Tuesday, so am feeling quite rich again...LOL:rotfl: It is nice to still have money in my purse for the rest of the month, I had forgotten what that was like. I even managed to buy a new duvet this week, just need some decent pillows now as ours are awful and sooooo old. Just couldn't find any suitable.

Well, sorry to say, I have gone down with a cough/breathlessness/ achy thing...again! :mad: This is the 3rd virusy thing I have had since January, so I am a bit fed up with it now. Am going to GP on Tuesday, as starting to wonder if I am deficient in some mineral or other and that is why I am going down with so much. I also think the stress of everything that has happened over the past year or so, has caught up with me and my immune system is soooo low:( Am eating everything natural I can lay my hands on and trying lots of holistic remedies which I believe in. So hopefully by next week I will be fighting fit.....a bit of sunshine would help:)

OH is having to work over bank holiday, except for tomorrow, so having a lazy weekend.
