    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:

    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)

    He's probably a studio-set mop engineer (cleaner) by trade. Thinking of all the hours of floor mopping that would be...
    and then walked me to my car to tell me he wouldnt be seeing me again-GET IN!

    You misspelled that - so I changed it for you. If he said he would be seeing you again - then you could scream abuse.
    He parked in a disable spot

    He's got an crippled personality doncha know...
    -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*

    Just a disaster on legs then. Could have been worse. You could have bumped into a friend...

    Hi to anyone still awake, Boo is feeling somewhat better. Had lots of sleep and lots of stabbing of stuffed snake over the last few weeks. Got myself a long enough ladder to crawl out of the hole i have been. I have kicked my own !!!! and given myself a good talking to. Again. Taken myself off the happy pills as they were making me feel groggy. And at last got my comp sorted out. So no crashing for 2 days so far. My phone is now up and running. New battery required as old one would not charge up anymore. So normal service can now resume. Now all i need to do is try and sleep in my bedroom instead of sofa as i have been doing for last 2 weeks. I have no idea why but taken a dislike to my bedroom. Gonna change it all round tomorrow. See if that helps. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
