    Linda, it was a nightmare. He kept making that noise like Hannibal Lechter (sp?) does in Silence of the Lambs everytime something gorey happened in the movie (which was quite a bit) and then walked me to my car to tell me he wouldnt be seeing me again-GIT! Like I would want to. He parked in a disable spot-a personal pet peeve of mine-just soooo rude and wore these pretentious glasses he insisted were prescription but I think were utter posing ones. AND he was dead weedy.

    *shudder*

    It's easy to give in to that negative voice that chants "cant do it" BUT we lift each other up.
    We dont count all the runners ahead of us & feel intimidated.
    Instead we look back proudly at our journey, our personal struggle & determination & remember that there are those that never even attempt to reach the starting line.

    Hi all,

    I've been lurking about this board for a while.

    My story is that myself and my husband got ourselves into debt 5 years ago, and the total was £36,000ish thousand when we had our children. We did the DMP with CCCS for a while and finally looked into sorting things and we remortgaged our house to pay everybody off in a full and final basis. So basically what I'm saying is that was kinda the easy way out, and I really admire you all for ploughing your way through your debts instead of doing what i did. So we are currently debt free but I want to keep it that way, and I really need to join and learn from what seems to be the Masters:T

    To get back to the original question do you mind if I join and post on this board?

    I need to be a MSE and I have started the ebay challenge this month, having been keeping a diary of spends etc, but I know I can do better, when I see what is actually coming into the house compared to our savings etc it really is ridiculous! :mad:

    Hi kalojac
    come on in!
    to be honest I don't think there IS 'an easy way out'.
    there are right ways and wrong ways for everyone, you've just got to do whats right for your family!
