Just popping in to say well done for tackling things and getting control of your life. Sorryto hear about the x but onwards & upwards! Hope our health improves soon and sure now that youre sorting the debt the reduction in stress relief will help! Re the BM have you tried making it from scratch? I have a fab whack it in & mix it up (see weezl's thread on old stye for recipe!), let it rise & voila! Bread! Keep up the good work - just wanted to say hi!

When I go on old style I feel so left out as don't have breadmaker! I love fresh bread but don't feel I have time or money for one. I've tried comping but never win, I love the free samples but wish there were more. Catch up with you later

Well I'm proud to be a weebl things keep happening to throw a spanner in the works and try to drag me down but they won't work I will keep bouncing back and just be even more determined to succeed.

Today I got a letter saying my claim for DLA has been declined and the reasons are given are a load of pants really as they are saying I can do things which I have told them I can't so it just looks like they haven't read through my form properly but I am going to appeal it so we will see.

I got given some more stationary today so am ultra organised or as a mate of mine used to say every 5 minutes im uber organised lol. I shall be checking tomorrow morning to see if my letter to Welcome has been signed for I sent it to their head office address in birstall.

Have got my tickets for bingo night live all ready for tonight.

Think I am going to have a nosy over at the up your income board later on.

Will be back to read rest of board in a likkle while.

Hope you are all well

Hello guys,

How are you all?

Today I have been a busy little bee.

With regards to my claim for DLA I am getting ready to appeal. I have spoken to my Physio who is going to write me a letter to back up my claim. I have also enquired about changing my Gp's as I am really unhappy with my current one. I have a gangleon that is really painful and makes it hard to move my wrist and the medical advice I received was 'drop a book on it' as well as a load of other stuff stemming back to me losing my little boy a couple of years ago, so i think I have also lost a bit of respect for the surgery which is causing added tensions. I also have arranged an appointment with CAB who will help me with my claim and are going to get me to see a counsellor as well.

Now finance wise, not much really lol, well I have. I have I have not spent a penny which is good. I've also done surverys and competitions etc. Have set myself a challenge.

Christmas For Free

Basically what I am aiming at is not having to buy gifts by using surveys, vouchers, competitions and freebies.

Hugs to you all x

Hi Ikkle

Sorry to hear about your DLA claim, my mum recently had to reapply for my nephew and apparantly a tip they gave her was not to just list everything you CAN'T but list things you CAN do but need help with. Obviously they do need to know about things you can't do though You might already know this of course and in which case i'll shut up!

Good luck with getting xmas for free, i'm also trying to do this. So far i've got £35 boots vouchers (all from pigsback) and another £30 to come from ipoints. I'm also going to recycle two old phones with envirofone and get £50 argos vouchers. I've got a few pressies already, which i got in the boots sale in Jan and i'm also getting things from Avon for free (i'm a rep)

Ooh look at you whipping my butt with the christmas for free challenge lol. I have swapped my vouchers so far with my nan for cash which I used to pay off my bills but from now on they are mine lol, got some from ipoints due i think for doing surveys. Once I get the breadmaker from ipoints I'm gonna start using my points on christmas pressies my mum wants Osmonds Cd and best of Niel Diamond. And I didn't win either of them so am going to try with ipoints. Only thing I have so far is a bottle of J-Lo Glow perfume. I don't have many people to buy for though just my nan, grandad, mum, step dad, step brother, 2 best friends and my little brother who will get spoilt cos he always does.
